if you are recruited athlete then the coach has vested interest in you getting into prep school so they will help where they can. If you end up with a "D" I would let coach know so they can remind admissions that they want you, if it is even an issue. Don't know how much difference it will make...

I'm going to say in my unprofessional opinion, they will probably not rescind your prep appointment for D, but could chose to do so. I am guessing they gave you a prep appointment because they felt that you needed more work on math which you will get at prep school to prepare you for the USAFA...

just found out they will get issued another Laptop when they get to USAFA. the prep school laptops are just loaners they get turned back at the end of the year. DS also took his personal laptop since you can not access personal emails from prep laptops.

Thank you all for sharing, very cool that they call the entire class into auditorium to announce they have received appointment at the same time, since they spent the last 10 months working together towards that goal.

I'm going to say after since spring break has come and gone and I have not heard anyone getting appointments from the USAFA prep yet. If anyone has please share.

Yes DS is at USAFA Prep, not to be confused with the private preps. I believe the private preps are still in the pool with everyone else that is applying that year. It was described to me that USAFA preps are pretty much guaranteed a spot at the academy as long as they keep good grades and...

DS is still waiting for official notice to AFA. He did say some cadets where told that they would not bee getting an appointment and gave them the choice to finish prep year or go home early. They are already down to 90% of original numbers, DS said most left of their own decision.

Air force prep we would have to fly out. DS has LOA so I am guessing he will get appointment but My job as parent is to worry.

we said our goodbyes at the airport with our DS when he left last year for AFPrepschool. we had to choose our travels so we went out for parents weekend since we could spend more time with DS. If we could afford it we would go out for every event.

Is Prep Graduation an event parents should plan to attend. I know we will see DS a few days after but did not if it was a must see for parents and worth the trip out to see. Will they find out if they have an academy appointment during that time?

My DS class had a lot drop out over summer, mostly priors that decided they did not want it that bad. They had a few drop out during school year some on there own other for disciplinary reasons. Everyone I have talked to has said if they graduate prep and want to attend academy they will get an...

Thank you All preps must reapply for nominations use all available sources, senate, representative and VP. Was not a big deal for parents, DS son handled and received nomination from senator over Christmas break. No real admission application like they had to complete for prep, everything is...

Last year we went to see out DS at prep parents weekend. They have many events for families to connect with there preps. They have families go to preps classes on an abbreviated schedule like a HS open house. We saw prep football game and prep soccer played the Academy JV squad. On Saturday...

Last year we dropped our DS off at airport. We could not make trip out for every event so we choose to go out for parents weekend. Now trying to decide if we should go out for prep graduation.

I panicked about that stuff and still do, it is all part of being a parent, but these preps really do know what they are doing, guess that is why they where selected to attend. DS had no issues with completing nomination requests at prep school but he may have had all his letters electronically...

Hopefully I will have that answer in couple of months. The laptop is the preps so I am guessing that the laptop will be good for the Academy as well. At least I hope, so they don't have to purchase another one.

Sometime in August the prep school sat down with all the preps and went over the USAFA PS Statement of Understanding they must sign. This details the expectations of the prep to get an appointment to the academy. 1) seek a nomination from all sources available. 2) maintain academics at the prep...

They will get a laptop at the prep school, they buy it along with uniforms and books and class fees etc... DS took his own after Christmas break for personal use. you can not connect personal commuters to the prep network. The cost of these can be paid up front or taken out of preppies pay...
