<p>Hawaiimom-
this is the first step in the foundation process.</p>
<p>the foundation will receive upwards of 600 applications for consideration, of which 60 or so will be selected… the selections are generally made around mid-January once the admissions board has forwarded all of their “recommendations for consideration…” so odds are still around 1:10 to be selected.</p>
<p>Do have your candidate contact the foundation office to let them know he would “gladly accept” an offer of the foundation program should he be selected… and then have him continue to focus on his academics for this year, and his other applications “just in case.”</p>
<p>ball is not exactly in your court yet…
but this is certainly a step in the right direction!<br>
Obviously the academy “sees something” in your son’s application that they like…!!!</p>
