Jwmiller6, I just saw your message and thank you! I can't send a PM because I don't have enough posts, but I'm sorry I haven't responded sooner, I just haven't been on in awhile. I got the call from Senator Begich's office last Saturday and got my third nomination as well! I know this may...

I don't know when the "prime" application time is, but you might want to wait until the beginning of your senior year. You will have to send an official copy of your school transcript, and if you wait, your senior year schedule will be included. You will also need recommendations from a teacher...

I know that Alaskan nominations are not as competitive as other states(like Texas or Virginia), but you should still turn in your best application. You might see people talk about their MOC's doing interviews, but Alaskan MOC's do not.

I received my official letter from Senator Murkowski today also (I'm Far North's DD). I have not heard directly from Congressman Young, but on my USAFA application page he is listed as a nominator. I was not interviewed for Senator Murkowski, Senator Begich or Congressman Young. A couple...

1500s is 2 part. I wouldn't consider myself a superstar and I was accepted within a week or two after applying. My SAT was 1250 at that point (math and reading) and ACT was 28. Test scores are not everything. It will be difficult to tell when you will hear back, but the sooner you apply the better.

I went to summer seminar this summer, and I personally thought it was both challenging and helpful. You have PT every morning at about 5 am to 6 and there's extra conditioning on Doolie day, as well as a practice CFA and intramurals . Those of us who weren't acclimated to the altitude had a...

AFA_Hopeful You should submit your scores. My test scores were not extravagant. I had a 28 ACT and combined SAT of 1890. I applied within the first week of the application's opening and I received acceptance by late December/ early January. I live in Alaska, and I think that helped my...

You will be able to start the application, save it, then go back to it. The earlier you have your application in, the better. It will just give them a chance to offer you a slot sooner! The application for USAFA summer seminar is only for USAFA. All other academy programs require a different...

There is also a LOT more to the application than GPA and test scores. Plenty of people who attended had 4.0s and 2000+ SAT scores, but there were also quite a few who did not. I also think where you live is a strong factor for summer seminar. I had a 28 ACT score too at that time, but I live in...

You should just put your current grade in those classes. They only ask for the grades in those classes to get a general idea on what your capabilities are. If you do apply to the academy later, this will not be a problem. Don't stress about the summer seminar application. The experience is...

Summer seminar app answer I honestly don't think (and I could be wrong) that there is a time where most people find out. Personally, my roommate and I found out at the end of December, but I know others did not find out until much later. I also live in Alaska, so I think that helped my...
