I went to the doctor to get my tb shot (required by the immunization form), and I was tested positive on the skin test. I went ahead and took an x-ray chest test to see if i had active tuberculosis, and I'm waiting on the results for that. Say worse comes to worse and I do have active tb, what...

I've heard that the academy places 'ahead' cadets into honors classes of the regular core curriculum? How does a cadet go about and being placed into these honors programs? Do my AP scores factor in the decision of which type of classes I can participate in. Also if you were put into an honors...

Does it look bad if you take a standardized test 4-5 times? I'm not much of an ACT person so I've done much better on the SAT. The reason why i take the ACT is so that i have a backup in case my SAT scores are low, but i've consistently been scoring low on the ACT. Also I take it because my...

I just wanted to know if it would "realistically" be too late to apply for westpoint. I've already finished my application to USAFA, and lately I've been thinking about also trying my chances for west point. I am still on the fence and I really need to do it as soon as possible because I'll be...

I was just wondering how competitive California was. I live in the 27th district, in the San Fernando Valley and my congressman is Hon. Brad Sherman. I don't know anyone else in my school that is applying to any serviceacademy (though I did know someone from my school last year who got into...

I know that my form is probably my problem. I just wanted to know how some of you guys approach this portion of...

How often do the boards meet and when. I really want to finish my application before September 1 but that may not happen because I may need 2 more weeks to prepare fully for my CFA. I took my cfa today and let's just say I didn't do well, so I was hoping to finish my CFA by next week...

Hi. I just wanted to show you guys my resume and hopefully get feedback and criticisms regarding it. I was hoping to format it so that the academy doesn't have to assume what responsibilities or activities I've done in the position I point out in my resume. I would be very grateful if you guys...

I wanted to do my CFA with my friend's mom because she is the most convenient for me since I am with my friend almost everyday. I was wondering if it was ok to do that. She majored in Kinesthiesology and I was wondering whether their was any other certifications that is required for her to...

I've already written a resume for general purposes such as internships and jobs. Anyways I've included a rather general image of my accomplishments and extracurriculars (listed in bullets). Considering this, I am not really sure whether the academy would like a general list of all I have done...
