<p>Thanks everyone for all of your post, they were very insightful and helpful.
It is not his motivation nor his determination that is in question. According to both our Senator and Representatives, the date for the nominations of not this coming years entering class, but next years entering class (hopefully, the year that he makes it in) there was a typo. The dates said that their information needed to be in by this December instead of next December.
At first I was alittle perplexed about this, because I thought you got your nomination your Senior year (can anyone clarify this for me so I know what I will need to do within the next 2 years). I guess that the webmaster realized what had happened because they changed it yesturday.
We live in northern California, in between Sacramento and San Francisco, and our districts are very competitive concerning the SAT scores. He had great scores, but not as high as to be considered a highly competitive candidate for a nomination.
Again thanks for everything, and I hope within the next 2 years, I will have this great feedback and help from everyone on this board, that I have had so far.
respectfully,
