<p>Thanks for your honesty. He was not going to give excuses - I know there are many great candidates out there. Just to let them know he is not giving up - that’s all. Trust me, we know there are smarter, better, whatever people out there. He is just trying to maximize his chances and it seems like he shouldn’t throw in the towel now after 4 years of doing everything he could. Otherwise, why bother taking it again? Really - it’s kind of unrealistic in the first place to even try for an academy in the first place! I mean really – 1200 out of how many get in?? It’s a long shot for all of them!</p>
