<p>I’m glad everybody is hearing good news. My daughter also said that she has not had time to read any of the letters we have sent to her yet. She mentioned that a letter is on the way home, but that we shouldn’t expect much. Now I can’t wait for the ice cream social on the 17th for that second call.</p>
<p>I have to admit that I’m curious about the new cadets who are quitting already. I understand that there is a solid counseling program in place for them, but really wonder If they are just unprepared for the experience of CBT. Between “Surviving West Point”, all of the videos sent by WP, the reading materials, the ALO interviews, the extended application process, prospective.net, parents’ clubs, media focus on negatives of the military(and of course college confidential), how is this such a shock that they are quitting after 1 week? </p>
<p>Maybe I’m unrealistic - I just think that if you can get through the admissions process and get into WP, then maybe you have the maturity to make a decision a little bit later. Get through Beast and then decide.</p>
<p>I certainly don’t mean to offend anyone by asking, but I can’t help my curiousity.</p>
