Eric,
Please see the two emails below concerning the academy process.  My son wrote his Northern VA Coordinator as a follow-up to his attempt at outreach to the West Point Southeast region coordinator.  Bottom line is that it appears the final decisions on remaining initial offers of appointment will be made by end of March; and as you'll see, he has been put forward on a short list for special consideration for appointment.  
This is an update and not trying to push you all on the VP letter... Believe me, I very much appreciate your efforts and understand how difficult these things can be.  Just wanted you to know how things are developing.
Thanks again for your help,
Mike

Hi Nicholas.  With the deadline for Applications (Feb. 28th) just having passed, I know that he has been extremely busy these past few weeks with other Candidates who had not yet completed their applications.  You might want to try to email him again now.  Also, his phone # is 845-938-5726.  I understand that he is shooting for the end of March as the time when all Candidates who are on the waiting list will know whether or not they will get Offers.  For what it’s worth, today we (the MALO team from Northern Virginia) submitted your name on a very short list of Candidates who (in our opinion) should be given special consideration.  I hope that something good comes out of this for you.
 
Best regards,

Col. McCann,

I wrote an e-mail to Major Tolman about a week ago, but haven't received a response yet. Is there another way I could contact him? I just wanted to ask a few questions about my prospects at West Point, what being on the waiting list means, and if there's anything I could be doing to improve my chances of being selected. I just want to know as much as possible about the process, because this is incredibly important to me. If you know the answers that would be great, I just wanted to get a little bit more information from anyone. 

Thank you,

Nicholas S. Mathis
