    Friday appointments

    This may have already been discussed, but is the TWE, an actual TWE or is it also portal bound?

    When will they say "no"?

    Thanks so much...my son keeps doubting himself and then acts like he doesn't want to go. However, the other day when asking what his other friends are doing after high school, it was mixed. He said "I guess I'm the only one that knows what I've wanted to do since birth". Soooo...we all know...

    When will they say "no"?

    Not sure if this where to ask this question, I've seen it posted before, but never saw the answer...will people continue to get appointed over the next few months as well? Obviously the majority will be in March/April, since the appointed ones have until then to yay/nay, but was wondering if...

    Is it possible to fail the CFA?

    My son posted his scores in the evening, and had an automatic generated letter that was sent to him by the next morning that he needed to retake the CFA. He did his test outside in 35 mile an hour wind and had a 8:04 mile, WE think that is what "failed" him. He retook the CFA and everything...

    Early Action - Are they all LOAs or some MOC

    *****So my DS got notified he is being deferred to the Regular Selection period in March and "not to worry, about 50% of the appointments are from the Regular Selection period." So what does that mean? How many of the "early action" selections given LOAs and just need a nomination and how many...

    Admissions Question-CFA

    The portal would indicate it needed to be retaken and he received a notification, so if there is a check mark stating it's been received, my guess would be that it was "okay". It was an automated system, once my son entered his scores, he received the notification in the middle of the...

    Admissions Question-CFA

    My son submitted his scores and they weren't great initially, he tried to do the assessment in 35 mile an hour winds. He received an automated letter stating he may want to retest. So he did and improved his scores (and did it indoors). So they do allow another chance to test. His 2nd time...

    Kansas Nominations

    Yes my DS received the congressional nomination as well for the USAFA, very timely! And like everyone else, nothing from Senator Roberts' office yet. I know Early Action is basically just a yes, no, or keep waiting...but the waiting is going to be the end of us all :wink:

    ACT Question

    He is signed up for the December test. Actually he's really good in math, just needs to "re-learn" some Trig/Geometry that has eluded him over the last two years. I appreciate everyone's advice and it is well received! Wait wait wait wait....and I also agree that it is one of the things that...

    AFROTC Question vs. USAFA

    Thank you, that was my main question...is it an independent process? He will go ROTC even if he doesn't get into the Academy or get a scholarship, but I believe he would be a strong candidate. I also know they don't guarantee he would be commissioned into his "field of study", if he goes...

    AFROTC Question vs. USAFA

    I could spend hours looking for the answer, but I think someone here will know...my son like all of your children is "dying" to go the USAFA. We are putting back up plans into place. One of them is AFROTC, however hows does an AFROTC scholarship work? He probably already knows this, but does...

    ACT Question

    Awesome, I completely agree with everything you are saying, just totally helps to have it confirmed! Pima, you are right, and we've said that about different aspects of the application process, as long as he puts in the best application he can there are no "what ifs". He is a great test taker...

    ACT Question

    Thank you baileydb! He just needs to study...he literally has not studied for even one minute. It is a terrible habit!! I know the score won't make or break him, but he shouldn't leave anything to chance. I'll be signing him up today!

    ACT Question

    I completely agree with everything that everyone is saying, thanks for confirming!! He is a great math student, but his last two classes were statistics and college algebra through a college program his is doing. He is in pre-calculus type class now and Trig is the next section. We have a...
