You have a very good package put together. My wife and I thought the same with our DS. He had the grades and the sports...8 varsity letters in 3 sports with two team captaincies. He was also the drum major of very large marching band. Year round part time job and volunteering with physically...

Good luck to you and I hope you get your choice.... My son is there but still has a few years to go.....he mentioned that pilot slots went pretty deep in the class this year.

Haleym are you a firstie? Did you go rated by chance? When is the non rated slate announced?

Wondering the same. DS emailed cadet command asking for confirmation.

It's early yet for sour grapes. I believe there are two more boards. I am in agreement with many here that the candidate in question's stats are good and probably scholarship worthy. We don't know how he interviewed or how strong his essay was .......what about the PFA? My son was lucky...

Prep school or civil prep offers really should be viewed as great opportunities. I have 1 at USAFA right now who roomed with a preppie and a civil prep and both of whom have done well. They were great help for SAMIs and other military order issues. I have another with a Coast Guard appointment...

I actually believe its more common than you think. If you don't win one of the slates then you need to have a high enough Whole Candidate score that will put you high enough on the NWL to get an "at large" appointment. I will say, however, that landing a senator's nomination in a highly...

I have a son at USAFA right now who is on the pilot track. If your son wants to fly fixed wing USAFA is the way to go...perhaps USNA as well although I believe they they have quite a good number that go helos. If he is set on fixed wing then USMA would not be the place to be. The three...

What is his preference? He has more opportunities to win a slate which is great. Even if he isnt a slate winner it sounds like he will be pretty high on the NWL and stands a good chance for any of the three.

this really shouldn't be a surprise when you consider the senators receive a few hundred apps for so few spots. They want to spread the wealth among their constituents. States like Wyoming, ND,SD may be able to give out multiple noms.

Son received his certificate yesterday in surprise ceremony at school. Lt. Col. from the local battalion came to one of his morning classes, dressed in uniform, called son up to the front and discussed the ROTC scholarship process. The whole class cheered at the end and son was pretty...

DS received 3Q letter before the PE request was posted. Does anyone have a better understanding for the rationale behind the PE SOE? I thought the CFA would suffice.

No word yet from a local battalion. DS did receive email from #1 choice stating congrats on the 4 year award and a call from #4 choice asking when he would be completing the application and if he would come to the university for a tour. It would be great to see the actual paperwork or "winner"...

Is ALO a rated position.? I saw that 368 from your class went pilot and 18-19 went RPA. Would you know if all that requested pilot received a slot ? And did the 18 RPAs request this assignment? Thank you....

DS maxed at least two of six on the PFE, ran a 5.10 mile, and has lettered in 3 sports. He also received his 3Q letter so I can only surmise that this is a new requirement for all. We would also love to know the content in the SOE .

DS just texted that he received email from 1st choice school....4year winner...we are thrilled and so proud of him. He is to expect confirmation email over the next few days and he says his app still says boarded.... good luck to all...and thanks for willing to serve our country!!
