I had a similar dillema this time last year. I received both Type-1 and Falcon Foundation scholarships. For me, it was a pretty easy descion based on my goals. My highest goal was to earn a commission. For that reason I accepted my AFROTC scholarship. I figured that not only would I get a year...

I’m not too keen when it comes to recruited athletes. However, I do have a good friend that is committed to play hockey at USAFA. He had the option to come up this year or next, depending on if he wanted to start or not. They said that he needed to let them know by the end of March if he wanted...

This was not the case in my experience... I contacted my MOC's office in mid-March and they told me that both slates for their district have already been offered, meaning that out of the two slates he had open, so far two nominees have been offered appointments. Then earlier this week my MOC...

Mine arrived Jan 3 via tracking and was processed on Jan 8 the day after I completed my app and 7 days before my deadline. I don't doubt that they have it covered and will put it in your app, but if you want confirmation, I would call rather than email. Emails have seldom been responded to for me...

I'm an AS-100 (Freshman) on a high school scholarship in AFROTC and have Invisalign currently. I did get my trays a couple weeks before I contracted, but I can't imagine any regulation that would prevent you from getting them in AFROTC. You may have to not wear them for 13 days at field...

In theory, you should've done all of your training before hand, you won't improve your scores much by training the week of. So assuming you have been training, below is what I would personally reccomend. Sunday: Excersise. I would reccomend running through the entire CFA yourself so you're...

Going off this, what is considered a "competative" college GPA? Obviously college GPAs will be lower than high school, so does anyone have any insight as to how large is the spread for competative college GPAs? Obviously it depends on the college on the courses, but I'm looking for a...

Why do you say usually less? Is it because there usually aren't enough qualified candidates to choose under this slate? Or is it for another reason?

AFROTC Type-1 to TCU

A bit of a follow up question: Would it do any good to inform USAFA about my Type 1? Would it perhaps raise my national ranking? Do they already know? any advice would be appreciated. Thank!

What district in MN are you? I know the 5th district has a congressional nom appointment. I also know of two individuals receiving appointments from the 3rd and 6th districts, but they also had Presidential noms.

I got three nominations, both senators and a congressman. I guess I was just unlucky in that I was competing against a lot of good kids!

Thanks for the support! And Nav you are correct, I meant relative to my AFROTC app, I'm certain there are those who have put in more work in their USAFA app. Additionally, I didn't mean to sound ungrateful for a Type 1. It is a tremendous honor to receive it, and I am very happy; USAFA was...

Hello all, I recently received a Type 1 AFROTC scholarship, but no USAFA appointment. I understand that appointments are not over with (just most of them). I also understand that AFROTC and USAFA are two separate things and do not work together in offering scholarships/appointments. However...

Likewise in MN, thought I think it is unlikely so many states are having this supposed delay, especially since we are up to 110 reported out of a historic 140ish average. I think it is more likely appointments are just not being reported here. Though I hope I'm wrong! Trying to stay hopeful for...

I was in the same situation last year, Boys State or SS. One thing to consider is that Boy's State will get you a small boost in your application as you can log it as an activity. However, SS is an amazing, rare experience to really get to know the Academy and reinforce your motivation to gain...

To all you discouraged about not getting accepted: a word of hope. I was accepted to USAFA SS last year and my best friend was not. Come this year, she already received her appointment and I have had no word. She was very discouraged, but it turns out her package was better than mine, so don't...

Does anything on the USAFA Portal change when they refigure your GPA? My GPA has been the same on the portal since October and it still says "(Your GPA listed may be refigured by USAFA and may not match the GPA reported by your school.)" Does this mean that they have not yet refigured it, or is...

Does anyone know if USAFA does this too? Or is it specific to USMA?
