The minimum GPA for scholarship recipients is, I believe, 2.5. I've read through the scholarship contract and there is some ambiguous language in the document. Under the disenrollment section it says "... must compete favorably with applicants for POC enrollment application." What exactly...

Congratulations on the USAFA appointment!

Thanks - I have a meeting scheduled with a ROO to discuss this issue, but they have already given me incorrect/inaccurate information that has caused a lot of unnecessary stress, so I'm trying to get information from some other sources as well.

Yes - if we have to pay back $136,000 that would be $90,000 more than if I didn't do AFROTC and just accepted the financial aid offer - so that makes it doubly scary!

I have a question for any AFROTC Type 1 scholarship winners from any of the 3 boards this year. Does the contract language regarding potentially having to repay the tuition costs for your first two years if you are not selected for Enrollment Allocation (EA) in the Professional Officer Course...

I was deferred in EA - but not turned down outright so that was a good sign, and I look at this the same way. It sounds like it will come down to whether or not the accepted cadets who are most similar to my profile accept or decline. I have 3 excellent "Plan B" options in another academy...

Thank you. I will take a look at the "lunch and learn" recording. It sounds like the USCGA is looking for pieces to complete a puzzle, which makes sense.

I have been offered a spot on the waitlist as well, which I will accept.

I was placed on the waitlist. There is an informational meeting tonight regarding the waitlist. My main question is how many prospective cadets are on the waitlist and, historically how many waitlisted students receive and offer.

I was fortunate to receive a 4-year AROTC scholarship as well as a 4-year SFROTC scholarship. I am intending to study a health-related engineering field (biomedical engineering), so the AROTC scholarship option is the direction I am leaning toward for two reasons. The first reason is that the...

Thank you.

For those of you who have received a decision, was it posted on the "My Application" page in Bears Den? That seems like the logical place but I figured I should ask.

A passing score with 552 points and a 51% percentile rank looks like this: BB throw 67, pullup 9, shuttle 9.1, situp 72, pushup 54, run 6:42. If you spend the $10 and get the calculator, you can enter your own scores and see where you should focus. I thought it was a good investment for peace...

I paid $10 to access a CFA score calculator online (do a search to find it). You can enter scores by event and see where you fall in terms of percentile, total score, at risk vs pass etc. You could use that as a guidepost, but I believe each SA may have their own standards. The site the...

When I sent my passing CFA scores from my USNA SLE to the USAFA, they suggested I retake/resubmit it. I think my situp count was low, but we had been doing a lot of abdominal exercises, and I was sore! I retook it and about doubled my situp count, but dropped a bit in some of the other scores...
