[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to one and have a role in congressional nominations, in case I can help answer questions [/quote]

Thank you! Dc is being recruited by an academy coach- two different ones but dc is more focused on USNA. But dc is still going through the normal process and had his interview with an officer. It didn’t go great. Guy told dc he needed to prep much more for his congressional interview. How should he prep?

Also we are worried about the medical clearance. Dc took adhd meds as a freshman for a few months. Was mostly off by sophomore year and done by last year. [/quote]

Grad and interviewer back again. If I need to guess why he did not interview well, I will speculate that he did not come across as someone who is pursuing this because he is eager and excited to serve in the Navy after graduating, and/or he has an unrealistic expectation of what Academy life entails. Those tend to be the most common reasons why I will say that someone is not deserving our highest recommendations, in comparison to the other candidates we’ve reviewed. This assumes, of course that, grades and SATs are on par, etc.

Does that sound like it could be the issue? I’d need to talk to him directly to help. [/quote]
