    Webguy and AOG

    A new form appeared on the admissions portal about the AOG. My parents are interested in the BCT Webguy photos, but the price is steep to pay every month for the course of 4 years- especially because 6 weeks of BCT is the only appeal. Is there an option only to have a membership for those...

    Clueless

    I have been awarded a 4 year AROTC scholarship, however I intend to accept my offer to the Air Force Academy. I've heard various things on how to approach this situation, one of which was to keep the ROTC scholarship as a backup plan if I were to somehow have issues regarding I-day. Do (parents...

    Interview formalities

    I have an interview coming up for my MOC. I know that there will be upwards of 14 people on the panel arranged in a horseshoe, with me in the middle. I'm not nervous for this part because I have already met nearly all of them. My question is: do I shake their hands? There are 14 people, and if...

    If I send my scores by mail, what address do I send them to? Would it be HQ USAFA/RR 2304 Cadet Dr, Ste 2300 USAF Academy CO 80840 Sorry, I'm really unfamiliar with the ACT score report process. I sent in a hard copy of my SAT (with my transcripts, I think) and it was fine. Also, If...

    Updating SAT scores

    I got my new SAT scores in October and had them sent directly to the academy. I noticed WP had updated them about a week later, and AF has the note "USAFA receives official test scores (ACT and SAT) on a regular basis. If your scores are missing, or if the scores above do not reflect your best...

    Sports

    I'm entering my senior year in high school and every fall I have been swimming. However, I'm not a fast swimmer who goes to competitive meets. I also was one place short of becoming captain (it was a team vote). So after some thought, I think I want to start cross country running. Will the...

    Essay questions and advice

    For the second essay "writing sample" the question asks for "attributes, life experiences, unique perspectives, and/or special talents" Would I be at a disadvantage if I simply talked about the qualities I possess that would make me a good cadet? Rather than an experience, perspective or...

    What can I do?

    Hello, going to the academy has been a dream of mine for a very long time. However I'm starting to get discouraged. I'm a junior, so I've been trying to apply to a variety of programs for this summer. So far I've been denied from SS (I believe this is because I didn't receive my SAT scores until...

    Eyesight

    I'm not sure of what would be PQ for eyesight... If you go in and you're not PQ, I hear that depending on certain aspects they will preform surgery. Would that make you PQ? Or if you're eyes are correctable to 20/20 in general would it make you PQ? Or is it totally out of the question?

    When to start?

    Sorry if this question has come up in the past- I didn't take a thorough look around the forums. When do you start contacting people for nominations? I know of a rising Junior who has already contacted representatives- is that too early? And as a side note, when do you contact your ALO?

    Hello!

    Right before my brother went away for Navy bootcamp I was starting to think about how great serving your country is. With that I decided I wanted to go to a service academy and now I'm torn between the US Air Force Academy and West Point. The real thing that is getting me is that I have what it...
