    Appointee Kits are now active

    Is anyone else having trouble registering for MiCare? When I go to add a provider, "MiCare In Processing Provider, Cadet" doesn't turn up with any search results. I did find USAFA Case Management though.

    Appointee Kits are now active

    @tex2021 Got a quick response! I was told that they tend to run almost 1 size larger and it was recommended that I order an XS. Thank you!

    @Insider If we run into technical problems on the appointee kit (Parents' Club Info/Release Form link is down) should we let someone know or just wait it out?

    I'm sending an email asking about shirt sizes to the contact Insider referred me to. I'll let you know what I hear!

    Appointee Kits are now active

    Thank you! Would you happen to know if the BCT issue shirts are the same as last year? I was looking at at a thread from last year (https://www.serviceacademyforums.com/index.php?threads/bct-t-shirt-size.43433/) that said they run a bit big. I typically wear a XS/S, so I'm thinking I ought to...

    USAFA vs. USNA

    Could you expand on size/aviation? What are people of smaller sizes able to fly?

    Appointees Tour

    Hopefully this will also be helpful! Though I'm pretty sure clicking on it just leads to more information. The registration process takes a bit more than just clicking yes or no. "Appointee tours are only for individuals who have been offered an appointment to attend the Air Force Academy and...

    High School Classes

    These courses are suggested on the website, though they may not all be required. For instance, my school doesn't even offer CS. Four years of English including college preparatory courses in composition and speech Four years of math including algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus and...

    Denied

    Been there and felt that! But really, don't be discouraged and try not to worry about it too much. I was in the same boat last year -- denied from USAFA Summer Seminar. I was pretty devastated but I scoured the Internet for explanations. Ended up finding this forum and saw posts about others...

    How Admissions looks at ACT Scores

    @dol-amroth "Students who score below 580 verbal and 560 math on the SAT Reasoning and below 24 English/reading and 25 math/science reasoning on the ACT normally will not be competitive for an appointment." http://www.academyadmissions.com/admissions/the-application-process/academic-performance/...

    CFA help!

    Not sure if this'll help you, but my squad leader at USNASS gave us some advice that personally works pretty well for me. For the push ups, pump out as many as possible before you start to realize your arms are tired. Then, start pumping them out by tens, fives, or whatever increments you can...

    USAFA Class of 2021 Appointments

    Of course, I'd be happy to. I submitted my application on November 1st. Academically I'm pretty mediocre I suppose. My ACT was a 32 Composite (35E, 29M, 34R, 28S, 30W), and I definitely have a ton of regrets regarding my GPA. Weighted 4.1/unweighted 3.7 with a few Cs in more challenging classes...

    Nebraska Nominations

    Just got my USAFA nomination letter from Congressman Fortenberry via snail mail! Kind of getting nervous now though because maybe it was a bad idea to rank USAFA as my #1 for all three...
