Jeez, folks; it's only the beginning of February, and we're talking about PPW. From experience, it's a very long ways away. I got accepted about a year ago, and the time between then and PPW felt like a lifetime (especially through plebe summer). And don't worry about the blanket and stuff...

KY-03 Pretty competetive, as all of Louisville is in that district GPA: 3.54 UW, 3.8 W Rank: 149/463 School: Highest ranked in the state, also very competetive SAT/ACT: 34 Math, 34 English, 740 Math, 680 CR CFA: 62 ft bball, 9.2 shuttle, 16 pullups, 75 pushups (max), 92 situps, 7:10...

I had a 34 in English, 34 in Math on the ACT (the only two they care about), and a 680 CR, and 740 M on the SAT, I got a BFE, even with my subpar GPA (3.5) and rank (158/463) But I did go to the most competetive school in the state, and took the hardest courses I could (7 AP's completed...

lol he's just lying some 1000 or so were sent out by march, and the rest were sparsely in between after that and without a nomination, it's impossible

lol of course not. by that logic, you could easily do quick bursts of 5 pullups until you max it out. the average is like 10. they are cadence pullups, so they're equally timed apart, and you're given the call to go up and down (yes, down). or atleast, that's how it was for me

Male CFA BBall throw: 62 ft (5 below avg) Shuttle Run: 9.2 s (0.3s slower than avg) Pullups: 16 (2 below max) Situps: 92 (3 below max) Pushups: 75 (max) Mile: 7:10 (~25s slower than avg) my mile was slower than expected because my hip cramped from the situps, but hey, NO EXCUSES

I'm only a rather above average candidate, so i definitely need something that will make me stand out. Not playing the race card or anything, but does being of a foreign nationality help (still a US citizen and everything though)? If so, how much? Also how about location? I'm guessing...

no no, I've been a "candidate" in their website since september. That hasn't changed. But I've fully completed my application, and everything I need to have is on file and ready for review. but the mail I got recently said I was an "official candidate"

Just got a little index-card-sized mail from USAFA saying they recieved my nomination and that I am now an "Official Candidate". But wasn't I already a candidate before? Does that mean I am 3Q? Thanks.

Of course, there's not know-all-tell-all person around here, and I'm aware you can only give me opinions, but I think most of you have a better idea. GPA is a 3.50 unweighted, but I've taken 7 AP's and all honors courses. ACT: 32 composite: 34 Math, 34 English, 30 Reading, 29 Science...

39's a mighty high english score.... but you seem to be at or very close to the averages (assuming you meant 29 english :biggrin: ) And i think it was sometime this month, but I believe it meant they would not accept any tests TAKEN after a certain date, they'll still accept scores til...

no no I'm aware of the whole process. I just finished it lol. But I was just wondering if I am what would be considered 3Q i.e. someone with a 1.5 GPA would not be academically qualified, thus not 3Q and someone with a 15:00 mile and 0 pullups and 5 pushups is probably not physically qualified...

It took OH SO long. but I'm glad I finished it. at the beginning, I had doubts as to whether all of those little boxes would become checks or not. But alas, finally. I'm done. Essays written, interviews done, medical stuff sent and received, transcripts from school, test scores from...

From what I've heard, the 3 Q's, so to speak, are scholastic (or academic), physical, and medical. Some people I came across considered a nomination the 4th Q. Scholastic (short and general): -GPA: 3.50 (3.75 W) -SAT: 2110: 680 CR, 740 M, 690 W -ACT: 32 composite: 34 E, 34 M, 30 R, 29 S -I'm an...
