<p>usnacand- those who are given LOA’s usually hear quickly- from now until january… they represent a small number of those being offered admission. The vast majority of candidates will not hear anything until well after the new year… most MOC’s only submit their lists after that- and while it is tough, many candidates will not hear their fate until Apirl. </p>
<p>What you can do is think of it this way…“no news is good news”…
- it means your application is still somewhere in the process, and
- you have not been rejected.<br>
All else is fair game, and the game requires patience, patience and patience. And when you think you have lost your patience, you will need to dig deep and find some more.</p>
<p>So what can you do to pass the time.</p>
<p>Hmmmm.</p>
<p>Academics. Senior year grades do count.
Academics. Senior year grades do count.
Academics. Senior year grades really do count.</p>
<p>Did I mention Academics?</p>
<p>Complete your other applications- you need to have back up plans; anything short of that is just plain silly.</p>
<p>Have some fun. This is your last year of highschool. Enjoy it. Have “clean” fun with your friends. You will all be scattered like seeds in the wind soon enough, so make sure to spend some time with them now while you can.</p>
<p>Best of Luck!</p>
