question Thank you for all the info!!! What is "SFT"?

My son received a 4 year AF ROTC scholarship to an instate school, or a 3 year to an outstate school. This information was via email, and he electronically accepted the 3 year outstate to the school he had already been working with. I am surprised that we have received nothing via (snail)...

TWE Got a TWE for my son here in Minnesota. We got it after we returned from our family spring break vacation. It was dated March 18th. The sad part was the included generic letter. It lists all the things he can do to improve his score, but he already has done and accomplished all...

our experience Initially my son was interested in Merchant Marine Academy (as well as AFA, NA and WP), but after really looking at their academic programs, he decided that he was no longer interested in the Merchant Marine Academy. He stopped sending them information and informed his MOC that...

MN here We are from MN too (district 01), and have heard nothing. I have seen a couple of appointments on the AFA thread (I think) if not there, then on West Point, as I watch all three of them. My son received nominations for all three. We have heard nothing on any of them. The waiting is...

According to facebook: US Air Force Academy (Admissions): There are a lot of different people in the process, but at the end of the process there is a board that includes the USAFA Superintendent, the Commandant, the Athletic Director, the Dean, the Director of Admissions and others who...

Thank you! You all bring up very valid points, and I sincerely appreciate the insight. I guess in the excitement of the college, it never really occurred to us that this particular man may not even be a part of the program when my son would be starting. These points will be talked about and...

This past week my son had a college visit at a very good college of engineering school. We decided it was best to also meet with the AFROTC and NROTC since his applications for scholarship(s) are still pending with them. AFROTC was an impressive meeting, full of information and...

Do you have a link (Do you have a link to that page?)...never mind, I found it!!!

We are MN-01

Minnesota Has anyone from Minnesota received an appointment yet? Thanks, and good luck to all!

Thank you for your "food for thought". My son has always envisioned himself as a military officer and had spoke of enlisting "when he turns 18" for years prior to finding out about the military academies. They all just match very well with his ambitions and dreams (well, the USAFA and USNA a...

A young man from our city received his appointment quite late (May 10th) as he was some sort of a secondary choice. The first choice decided to take a full ride sport scholarship to a private university, and did not notify the academy until May 1st (which I believe was his deadline). So as...

My DS has received a Congressional and a Senatorial nomination to the USAFA and then also a Congressional nomination to USNA and also West Point. USAFA asked him to retake his CFA in December, (and he did) showing major improvement in all areas except pushups. West Point recently sent...

Thank you for this, but do you know that they actually want them? DS's ALO said not to send anything after January 31st, unless they request it. I have looked through all the information and cannot find anything that says they want the grades...or if they want "official transcripts" over a...

Hi, do you know if AFA wants the kids' 7th semester grades? If so, do you know the best address to send them and do they need the official transcript again? :confused: Thanks for the advice... I hope we all start to hear more and more about appointments now that the nominations are...

That is the best post I have read all day! Thank you for the words of encouragement. I am sure you remember all too well how trying all of this can be. You don't know when and how to be excited! I am afraid to assume anything. My DS has so many irons in the fire because of the uncertain...

Thank you! A giant thank you to all of your for your insight on this matter! His ALO said that this is a good sign that they want him, and want to see how much improvement he can show. She too said she has never heard of a second chance on this test. She said that all of the other attributes...
