<p>rjzoom57–thank you SO much for your post. We have not heard yet from our congressman (he does not interview until Dec 9) so we are certainly keeping our fingers crossed that he will grant him an interview. It is very encouraging to hear your story–so there still is hope. He has also applied to VP–I am not aware of any other sources.</p>
<p>He is medically qualified, passed CFA, etc., so I really don’t know exactly what is lacking, except that it is just so competitive! (And, while he does have a few service trips, church type of service work, etc., he does NOT have hundreds of hours of community service.)</p>
<p>(I had posted in the past that he had made a mistake on his essay, but that ended up NOT being a problem–it somehow had been “lost” in the system and he was able to resubmit it with the correction.)</p>
<p>Again–THANK YOU–I don’t want to hijack this young man’s post!! But I do appreciate you taking the time to offer encouragement.</p>
