<p>Thank you all. The news is not as good as I hoped. But I appreciate all of your help. Seems like he has been sold a pile of over-reaching promises. Too bad, he knows he can never be strong enough academically and he is really counting on the military prep’s promise to put him into USNA. He has sunk his heart and soul into this school so he can be nominated by the school.
At least now we know he should make some back-up plans. It’ll be hard to convince him though. He truly believes in the school.
Another practical problem is whether he should get extra time provision for the SAT/ACT. If he does, he will be DQ by the USNA. If he doesn’t, he is not going to get a good score which is needed even for the back-up plans such as civilian colleges.
Would his Dyslexia hinder his chance in becoming an officer through the NROTC?
He really wants to be in the service. Is he doomed to be only eligible to the uncommisioned non-officer route, i.e. the enlisted “grunt” or sailor route?</p>
