Yes – then we feel like they will just put him there – NO and we feel like they will think he isn’t that motivated. UGH!



Nope Not at all. Don’t even think it. Many kids turn down prep offers. Either they don’t believe it IS a great deal or they don’t want the extra year.

They are asking because they have a genuine interest in your son and are trying to build a class. Nominations are not even out yet. If you son doesn’t get a nomination he can be offered prep. If he doesn’t make the top of the congressman’s slate and get in off the waiting list he can be offered prep. There are many factors involved here.

IMO - his chances are greatest if he shows enough interest to accept a prep offer. This shows dedication to reaching his goal.
