<p>My son (2010) was told in Sept/Oct that he was triple qualified. He had everything complete including Presidential nom. He was an Eagle Scout, 4.2 gpa with a total of 9 AP’s, 1510 SAT, varsity swimming and water polo. He received his appointment in March. We found out later that the Academy didn’t want to use one of the 100 Presidential noms they usually save for athletes who do not receive a nom from Senators or MOC. His MOC found another MOC who had not used his allocation of noms and my son was in. North Texas is very competitive like many other areas and if you have a savvy MOC they will canvass the whole state for “unused” noms.</p>
