Right, yes, my band directors are the ones who recommended me for the YLA in the first place, and they said I could be a section leader next year possibly. I'm definitely working for that! And hopefully being drum major my senior year if they let me. I am going to get involved in my church's...

I am in marching band, and when I'm not in marching band I'm in varsity singers band. I was wondering if marching band will compensate for a sport when applying for the USAFA (I'm a sophomore by the way). I am also in something called the YLA, Youth Leadership Academy, it's run by my school's...

Awesome! Sounds great. I heard that you have to play on an AFA team as a student? No problem for me at all. I'll work as hard as I can everyday to achieve this. Thanks for your answers, all of you.

OK, I personally know the karate instructor. Do you think if I JUST do karate, I'll have a good chance of getting in, on top of what I've already showed you? I think I'll join track too if I can get the time.

Thank you. I am thinking about doing track this year (well, next year) for 10th grade. What about if I start doing karate a lot again, will that count? Or must it be a school sport? ALSO, what is the minimum height requirement? I am about 5' 6" right now, which I know is small.. My parents...

Summer seminar at the AFA in Colorado? Another question that I just thought of, so you don't have to have 4 years of sports to go to the USAFA, right? I am extracurricularly active, 2 bands I'm in. I stay fit and go to the gym at least 3 times a week.

I am in high school, 10th grade at the moment. What can I do in high school to help my chances of getting into the USAFA when I graduate high school. I am an all A student, top 25 of my class. I am occupied with marching band and varsity singer's band to do any sports really... I am in this...

Would karate count as a sport, as you advance the same, just through belts. Still though, would Track be good? Though they don't have jv and v (from my knowledge) Also, the AP classes thing, I was wrong, I am taking them soon. ALSO, I am taking spanish all 4 years, I believe that would...

Thank you both. I have tried to talk my dad into CAP, but the nearest base is about 20 miles away... I am getting into volunteering, through my church. Do you think participating in track will help me? I don't think they have captains in track. Do you think the just-1-year of soccer will...

I am currently a freshman in high school and am seriously looking into joining the USAFA. I currently have a 11.0 (out of a 11.0 grade scale) GPA. I am also one of the Top 25 in my class. I am taking all honors for my classes, and as a senior, will take AP classes. My dad said that I have to...
