    The First Semester (what to expect)

    Good question, as I had no idea what the numbers would have looked like when I was in your position! I only know of one person who chose to leave, and he was in my company over the summer. He left pretty late for some personal reasons, so I did not know for sure his decision process. It was not...

    The First Semester (what to expect)

    Sorry for the late responses, my days are getting busy again! I struggled the most with chemistry and calculus (surprise!), but I eventually learned great study habits and ended up doing way better at the end of the year than I thought that I would be able to do. I wish I had a hidden secret...

    Chances at securing appointment

    I have just gone through the whole application process and somehow came out the other side with an appointment, so hopefully I can give you some of the information you're looking for. When I first started applying at this time last year, I was skeptical that I had a chance. The odds look really...

    Distinguishing aspects of the AFA

    Hey everyone, I have been wondering about the differences between the AFA and the USNA. I was appointed to both and am well aware of most of their generic aspects. I want to study aeronautical/astronautical engineering, and both schools have basically the same program as far as I can tell. I...
