A lot has changed in the past year, and I haven't even logged into the forums in many months. That's because my trip is over....but yours is just beginning. I just wanted to pop in and give a word of encouragement to all these fantastic young men and women (and the parents) that are on this roller coaster.

I remember this time last year, I was combing these forums looking for every bit of insight into this crazy ride.

Keep faith...get those applications done ASAP...get plan B and plan C in order...keep doing awesome things and good things will happen.

As I told my DS last year at this time (application was done 30 Oct and we were in for the long wait working on back-up plans), the hard part is done. All the work that went into getting to the point where you are competitive is truly admirable and shows that you are amazing.

The waiting is not easy. It's stressful for the applicant and the parents. Rolling acceptance means that you could be waiting a while. My advice is to get the application done and enjoy your Senior year. When the call comes...it will be the best day of your young life.

Then...accolades, awards, visits from Congressmen, tons of inprocessing paperwork, graduation, a few fleeting weeks of summer, shedding tears on I-Day, and Basic Cadet Training.

Before you know it, you are living the life of a cadet...and loving it.

Keep the faith...enjoy the ride. It will be over before you know it and you'll be standing in line for another roller coaster.

Good luck! Of course, I'm happy to answer questions if I can.

I am looking to apply to USAFA. I am currently a sophomore in high school. I am involved in high school class council, Civil Air Patrol (working towards Mitchell award), and am secretary in the astronomy club. I also am volunteer tutoring at my local library. I am taking all honors classes (we aren't allowed to take aps until we are juniors). I am running cross country and track at school. What else can I do to strengthen my resume? Would you say that I have adequate leadership activities?
 
That all looks fantastic. Keep it up. I am sure you have been looking at all the advice on the forums. There are some extremely knowledgeable folks on here (Pima, Christcorp, Fencersmother all come to mind), read and heed everything they have written. Grades, SAT/ACT scores are extremely important, as well as your ALO interview. Start building relationships with teachers, civil leaders, etc... You will need strong Letters of Recommendation, and those are easier to write if people know you.

You certainly have good leadership activities. My son was a CAP officer and active in school clubs. Win some awards if you can and try to find something out of the box to do (summer internship, Boys State, etc...).

The best advice I have is follow your dream and don't get discouraged. My son told anyone who would listen that he wanted to go to the Academy since 8th grade. Truthfully, no one paid much attention to it until his Junior year. Don't be discouraged because of lack of support, as you get closer, folks will be tripping over themselves to help you out.

Your extra-curriculars sound great. Push to get the Billy Mitchell early so it shows up on your application. My DS started CAP late after making Eagle, so he's pushing hard to make it.
One question: Did you take the PSAT as a sophomore for practice? Whether you did or did not, get yourself a prep book or better yet a tutor so that you can knock the PSAT out of the park your junior year (and The Plan = pre-ACT). And then practice taking the SAT and ACT as many times as you can. Good luck!

Thanks, W TX DAD. We really needed the pep talk. DS completed app early and waited for ALO to submit interview +2 weeks after the deadline. So your encouraging words are much appreciated. Best of luck to your DS and your family. God bless!
Btw - does anyone know when/how often the admissions board meets?
 
I don't know how often they meet. But. if you stick around the forums...
you'll know when they meet. You will start seeing waves of appointments.

Don't worry too much about the Early Action. We learned last year that an Early Action decision could mean that they decide to consider you in the normal admission cycle.

The first waves (not LOAs and not recruited ICs) for us happened right after the new year. Then, the waves were pretty steady up until April/May, when there were large numbers of appointments.

W TX Dad, thanks for all the information. I hope your DS is doing well and hanging in there at USAFA. When did your DS find out about his appointment?
 
He's hanging tough. I am sure he is ready for the next week to fly by, but so far...he loves it. Even as a Doolie.

He found out on Jan 8 last year.

If anyone is wondering what set him apart for early decision, I simply don't know. Everything on his application was well balanced, but nothing was over the top. MOC slate...not an IC...not top ranked in his class...didn't get 1600s on the SAT. Normal volunteerism, summer job, CAP leadership. His application was very similar to the young men and women I see on here all the time.

I wish I had some great insight into what got him in on the first wave, but I don't.
 
Usafah, yes, keep up with sports you enjoy, and a few activities about which you are passionate.

One thing that concerns me (and it's just my mom-radar rearing its ugly head) is the wording of your question: Do these activities seem adequate?

Adequate... are you participating in CAP or Astronomy club just to be able to list an EC? Do what you LOVE!

W Tx is correct. No one will be able to tell you exactly when board meets, but if you watch the forums you will see "waves" of appointments start. In the past, the "big wave" hits about mid March. Most found out in March about appointments. That's when DS received word of his appointment back in 2014. I always encourage applicants/parents to not be upset if they do not get EA. Not very many receive EA appointments. I wish I had found this forum while we were waiting. Maybe it would have given us a clue and helped us relax a little at the time. Just expect to wait until March at least; If word comes earlier than that, then great ! Some get word of appointment all the way up to June. One thing is for sure: I Day is the same for everyone !! Don't forget to enjoy the journey.

Amen to that.

I can tell a fair number of people I've met didn't fully believe me when I told them this, but I honestly love my life here at USAFA. Yes, even as a freshman. Even with annoying doolie rules (which, by the way, are really not that big of a deal in the final analysis) and training sessions (which bond friends like nothing else I've ever seen).

Is it hard? You better believe it is. Stressful? There's a reason why we have a medical facility right in the cadet area. Long nights with little sleep? I average about 5-5 1/2 hrs per weeknight, and only rarely get a chance to nap during the day.

But would I trade my position with anybody else? Nope. I am still about as star-struck by the Academy as I was in 9th grade, even though I now know what it's really like. I know this isn't true for everybody, and I definitely don't look down on those who may not enjoy it as much as I do. But honestly, the Academy is everything I hoped it would be and more. I am thankful to God for the privilege of being here, every single day.

I would encourage appointees (and candidates) to always remember their eagerness to come here. This attitude of gratefulness and determination will help you more than you can imagine in BCT and beyond. Trust me when I say that there will be times when you wonder how you're going to make it through the next day or so. Remember why you came, and never regret your decision. It will all be worth it in the end.

(Oh, and nice photo W TX Dad. Those were some good times...)

Thanks Wildblue, those are such encouraging words and gives us all a glimpse of the upstanding young man you are. I am going to bookmark your post so I can save it for my DD when she becomes a doolie. :)
 
Wildblueyonder...I loved what you had to share! It is encouraging to hear from cadets that are still so happy about their acceptance to USAFA and even all of the challenges of Doolie year! My son (who is a C1C) is still happy about his acceptance to USAFA and the challenges, the honor, and the pride that he has taken in being part of the Long Blue Line. He has said from the beginning of his journey that USAFA was the best place for him....and he will always be thankful that he was selected for the privilege of attending this amazing academy. The friendships and bonds that you will form will be important for the remainder of your lives. It is so wonderful to know that the challenges and obstacles do help to create the character that will make all of these talented young men and women such gifted officers.

------------------------------

Just to give everyone an idea of rolling admissions....this is last year's appointment thread.

It's said that this forum normally represents about 10% of the applicants (which seems to be accurate, 1258 in class of 2019).

As you can see, Feb had about 45 appointments. If the 10% rule is accurate, then only about 1/3 of the appointments were given out before the huge wave in March. A few in April and prep appointments in May.

Keep the faith.

I am taking all honors classes (we aren't allowed to take aps until we are juniors). I am running cross country and track at school. What else can I do to strengthen my resume? Would you say that I have adequate leadership activities?
