Great News: 5.57s Have Gotten "the Call"

At least two people with scores of 5.57  on the (shadow) consular register have now gotten the call for the May class. One said his (official) rank (on the real register), as of last week, was 26/193 and the other said his was 33/190. That's certainly encouraging.

Of note, one guy said he would have expired off the register in 12 days. The other had been waiting since August 2010. So it felt real good to see their notes on the A-100 Yahoo Forum message board. I felt good for them and good for me and the rest of us 5.57s.

I hope the next calls, for the summer class, will reach the 5.57s also. I'm about four or five slots down from one of the people who were called this time around. Those slots are filled with people who've also been waiting a very long time and I'd like to see them get their chance.

And yes, I'm praying for me, too. I would pick up and leave tomorrow if State called. That's how ready I am.

I have been following your journey for some time- I hope and believe you WILL get the call soon. Good luck and keep updating!

Well you've finally restored the comments feature, thank gawd. I'm glad to see you're still alive and kickin on the register! Uhm, any chance you could provide a contact email for your adoring fans? I almost tried to send out a message via the A-100 forum. Mine, as always, is destinaishunknown@gmail.com

Thanks, everyone! I didn't realize I'd disabled the comments feature. Must've done it when I was giving the blog a spring makeover. Even if I don't write, I am faithfully following your blogs. They're addictive, comforting and inspiring. I do hope I will get the call this year. Please send up a prayer every now and then for me!

You are in a great place for June offers if there are no more late round May ones. Good luck!
