I'm going to just cut to the chase. I graduated USAFA prep school class of 2010 (A SQUAD) anyway, due to an honor hit late in the year I didn't get to go to USAFA. There was actually another kid too, it was so late in the year he didn't even get a trial.
Anyway, I waited a year to go to my university (starting this fall) b/c I never applied to any colleges. I wasn't notified about the Academy until May 2010. I initially went through the process of enlisting b/c there was NO way i could afford college. I found out in Feb. 2011 that preppy alumni have 50% of the Gi Bill to use.
So now that I'm going to college, taking the general classes a Doolie would take (i chose Industrial Engineering major so i'll have calc, physics, english) and all that jazz.
Lastly, which makes me kind of shady for re apply is that i graduated with a 2.1 gpa at the prep school. I was doing fine until the honor hit and the pressures effected my grades.
I just have a feeling that they have a code on my profile, and it'd be a waste of time to re apply? I've been doing my best to just forget about my service academy dream, and it's fine during the day, but i subconsciously dream about it EVERY night. I had wanted to go to USAFA the day i found out about its exsistance (late sophomore year of HS).
Or should i just let it be a dream deferred and just do AFROTC.
P.S.
Is there a thread or website for preppies and cadets that didn't make it through service academies. I think it would be REALLY beneficial for them to get to talk it out. I never got the chance and I think it would've helped
