My daughter is a Plebe D1 athlete at USMA

She committed to play at Army the summer before she started her senior year and started the application as soon as it was open (I think Aug 1st of her senior year). Her Congressional nomination interviews were in late September (3 consecutive weekends for her) and early October with nominations getting kicked out within 2-3 weeks of the interviews.
