Any previous NAPS parents? Need advice...

My son was accepted to NAPS for the class of 2010. He is thrilled! When he called the admissions team to ask if he should still go on his nomination interviews, they said no. He asked if he should still re-take the SAT’s (his math score was low) they said no. Now I am wondering if he should still be applying for his NROTC schools? NROTC is waiting for a new math score, which would mean HOURS of study which he is not motivated to do now,(especially after the admissions guy at USNA said no…) but I am wondering if we should let them know he is not taking it again? Should he continue on his school applications?? I know if he gets hurt between now and the start of NAPS he can’t go, but it seems like an awful lot of work and application fees to continue on that path. He had also applied to ARMY ROTC, but has not completed the application yet. He spent hours and hours on all these applications and USNA is really his choice above all else. It really seems to be a toss up as to who you talk to about whether he should continue with these – and of course, being a kid – he doesn’t want to and is enjoying being “done”. Does anyone have any advice about this??
