I believe that what you heard is urban legend. find me a real person who received an appointment this way, and then I will believe it.</p>
<p>In my son’s class some 6-9 were appointed after plebe summer started. The were not picked from the crowd. There is a waiting list generated as part of the application process, and as declines are returned, waitlisted candidates are selected. There is much paperwork to be completed prior to reporting, whether on I-day or afterward.<br>
