<p>Disappointment? I hope not for long!
Congratulations! Your son is in a select group of young people. The Naval Academy WANTS him! Yippee!
He will apply to his congressman and senators next year for a nomination. He will also qualify for a SecNav nomination. If you live far away - they will do the interviews by phone. It’s no big deal. Just have him contact the offices next summer - he may not even have to redo the entire applications (unless the MOC was defeated).</p>
<p>You don’t have to worry about him getting an appointment. If he wants it and puts forth the academic effort he will get it. It’s not like there are 300 NAPSTERS competing for 200 appointments. USNA has basically set aside an appointment for him and it’s his to lose.</p>
<p>Unless he still wants to compete for an appointment to USMA he need not take the SAT again. He will take it again at NAPS.</p>
<p>Again - Congratulations!!</p>
