[QUOTE="AlabamaBuzz, post: 128467, member: 906"] He is now at the US Air Force Academy. He originally was accepted into an elite early medical school program (takes 10 students nationwide each year) with an outstanding schollie package, but after a couple of years, he decided that wasn't for him. He found his love for flying, skydiving, base jumping, etc., and so he knew the USAFA had wanted him out of high school, so he tried again, and they still wanted him, to my amazement. They only accepted 11% of the applicants, but somehow he still got in at age 21. He is majoring in Aeronautical Engineering, but he really just wants to fly jets. Yes, Dottie, he did consider Tech, but he did not even make the final, on-site interviews for the presidential scholarship, which was kind of sad. The local alumni organization did the regional interview, and I was told he did extremely well. Not sure why he wasn't chosen for the on campus final interviews. That saddened me more than the private schools that rejected him. I hate to say this, but some schools are using quota rules to make sure they are getting the diversity they need to have. I am not saying that is a problem, but I am saying that I believe it happens. [/QUOTE]
