Perhaps I didn't explain the situation enough. This is his first time applying and we were not exactly prepared. We didn't know that he would have to submit the acceptance letters and additional documentation by a certain deadline. Yes, he has been deployed twice this year, so I myself have put a considerable amount of time into helping him with his application. But he's 27, too old for most schools to accept him as a freshman, and has only 6 college credits, too few for most schools to accept him as a transfer student. Because of that his options will be severely limited to which schools he can apply for, including his top choice which was NC State. I would just hate for him to get accepted into the program only to be kicked out because 1) we didn't get the documentation submitted in time or 2) because he couldn't get accepted into a school. We have talked about it and both realize that those are two very real possibilities so we're just chalking this year up as a learning experience and hoping to be better prepared for next year.
