I’d say highly recruited – basketball, but no leadership, only semi-decent grades, and probably not great SAT’s. Supposedly he is “already in”… trying to assess if my son’s chances went down because he is not a recruited athlete,but has varsity letters in 3 sports, has good grades, decent SAT’s went to SLS, lots of leadership, 5 varsity letters, NHS, SGA - the whole nine yards and have been working on preparing himself for USNA since 8th grade. All nomination apps are in, all applications in, medically qualified, passed physical readiness test, etc. Heart set on USNA. Trying to manage expectations with this new wrinkle in his path. Just wondering if this kid who came out of nowhere takes up a “spot” in our state. Not wishing the kid bad luck, but hoping to set realistic expectations for my son. Does that sound bad?
