When I get to the academy, will I have the choice of whatever intramural sport I would like? And if I do mountain biking, will they have bikes or will we have to bring our own bikes and equipment? Or will we have to buy it all when we get there? Thank you

This year I am taking Calc BC at my high school as I expect most others are as well who applied to USAFA. I have a B- as an average for the year except for the sixth six weeks. This final six weeks we are preparing for the AP test by taking tests everyday and I am really struggling with this...

Would y'all say it is wise to buy boots ahead of time and break them in before BCT? And for the current cadets, are these the right boots? My older brother is in AFROTC at Texas A&M and before field training he was issued these boots by the AF. They meet the qualifications and I want to have the...

I have a very good friend of mine who applied to the Air Force Academy this year and was deferred from early action to normal selection. He had a pretty strong application with above average SAT scores an average GPA and many leadership positions in extracurriculars activities. He also applied...

Today I found my three letters of recommendation that I thought I had already sent to the Academy but were still in my application file. Now that all required parts of my application are complete, and an admissions board is meeting today where supposedly 90% of appointments are given out, should...

Has anyone heard back from Senator Cruz or Senator Cornyn. I received an email from Cornyn saying they were going to review the candidates on Friday November 22nd and then contact them shortly after. And I know this is a stretch but has anyone heard anything from Congressman Hensarling?

I am eligable for a presidential nomination because my dad was in the air force for elevan years and is now on reserves. Can I be granted a presidential nomination to only my top choice service academy or can I be granted a presidential nomination to all academies that I am applying for?

This may be too specific of a question, but does anyone actually know the weight of individual parts of the application? I know that academics is 60%, Extracurricular and Leadership are 30%, and Selection is 10%. But how much is GPA weighted compared to how much SAT/ACT and Class Rank are...

Do the letters of recommendaion have to be in by November 1st for early action or can I submit those later like SAT scores?

Is there anyway to remove items on the application? I had to take the ACT last year on a certain day between and very late night and a very early morning and my scores are a VERY bad representation of my abilities.

I am an Air Force Academy candidate and just realized that the academy recruited for cross country. My average 5K time is about 19:24, with a few races better and a few worse. I know this is a very specific topic but does anyone know the difficulty of being recruited for cross country and the...

On the AF Application, it sais that because of the government shutdown, the DoDMERB exam does not need to be scheduled until November 1st. Does this mean that I have to, before November 1st, schedule the exam, but the exam can be taken after Nov 1st? Or does this mean that the exam still has to...

Because of the government shutdown, the Air Force Academy said that instead of having the DoDMERB exam finished by Nov 1st, you only have to have it scheduled. Well the day I was going to schedule it was the day of the shutdown and with the way it's looking now, I don't think the governments...

What address do I send my transcripts and school profile to?

When it says college courses taken in high school on the personal data record, or form 146, does this include AP courses or is it only a seperate college or dual credit? It says "if so submit a transcript" so I am guessing this just refers to a seperate college but still not sure.
