<p>mdlax10, I’d be encouraged by your summer seminar acceptance and performance.</p>
<p>Follow the advice re: knocking yourself out to raise test scores. My son was rejected for summer seminar in very short order (he guessed due to weak PSATs). He concentrated on raising scores, resulting in an app profile a lot like djfrro’s son, but w/ slightly higher test numbers. He was offered NAPS, excelled there, and is now “enjoying” plebe summer a a member of the class of 2011. </p>
<p>Son’s SAINTED BGO was a wonderful advisor. If you are fortunate enough to have a great, engaged BGO, ask advice, LISTEN to it, and let that person know of your sincere desire to serve. Don’t be a pest, of course, but take advantage of expertise if it’s available to you. Good luck!</p>
