<p>For those of you with “just normally outstanding” applicants waiting for an appointment… be patient.<br>
My son was one of those average applicants, but had a strong interview with his MOC and won a primary nomination. His BGO had warned us that Florida was a HIGHLY competitive district with hundreds of applicants - not the most encouraging information. And yet, he got his phone call on February 1, 2005 but no one was home… so they called at 7:15am the next day!<br>
One midshipman from our area (I believe he is class of 2010) was wait listed and got his call the DAY BEFORE I-day! He quickly changed plane reservations (he had accepted an appointment to another service academy) and flew to Annapolis.<br>
Hold on to your dreams… and as one parent said, pay your plan “B” school’s deposit “just in case”.</p>
