[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you, 11:46.  I'm the PP who guessed this is a young man looking at the service academies.  OP referenced 3/5, and there are five service academies.  In my case, it was #2.  I had an appointment, and it was rescinded when I failed the medical exam which uncovered an issue never before diagnosed.

I applaud OP supporting her son's desire to keep this low key, since I'm sure the ups and downs of interacting with well-meaning family may add to his stress.   That might not be how others handle it, but if that's what's best for this applicant, she should do her best to ask the family to respect that.

Since it's out, yes. He's applying to all five but knows there are more hurdles to jump through even if he's accepted to just one (and depending on which, he still might turn it down, depending on how he ultimately feels and how the safeties come in). But really, the last thing we want is to get everyone spun up then have something show up on the medical exam. Unfortunately, we have Academy grads in our family, and they're kind of (and I mean this in the most loving way) nuts. [/quote]

Academy, military and state school families lose their collective sh&t over certain things, and college acceptances are one of them, OP.  Smart to keep everything quiet until the final decision has been made. [/quote]
