Looking at the Self Appointment list for USAFA, it looks like the first big wave that we saw last year on March 14th hasn't happened yet, so feel free to drop your predictions on when it will be.

I logged into the Portal and saw that the group picture of graduating cadets has disappeared. (Checked this on 2 different devices as well.) Does anyone know if this is a sign of a future application decision or was this just recently changed?

My congressman publicly released his list of nominated students about 2 months ago, and one of them is currently at USAFA's Prep School. Assuming he gets appointed to the Class of 2028, how would this effect the "five appointees at each Academy over a four year period" rule?

Do the 4 items needed by a guidance counselor (Transcript, Schedule, Records, and School Profile) need to get manually approved or do they automatically receive a green checkmark on your checklist once submitted. I'm asking because I've had a red checkmark next to those 4 even though they were...

Just finished up my eye exam and I have a Red/Green deficiency. Everything else for DoDMERB is good however (20/20 Vision, Great Medical Exam, etc). How will that deficiency effect my medical qualification? I was also planning on pursuing computer sceince already, so I'm not worried about pilot...

Just took the CFA today and got my scores submitted. Here they are: Pushups: 64 Basketball Throw: 81' Pull-ups: 14 Sit-ups: 73 Shuttle Run: 9.3 Mile: 7:10 I exceeded the averages on pushups, pullups, and the throw, but didn't on the sit-ups, shuttle run, and mile. Would this be considered a...

I was taking a look at previous class profiles noticed that a significant amount of candidates aren't fully qualified each year. What exactly does fully qualified mean. Does it mean that your DoDMERB is checked off, you passed the CFA, got a nomination, etc?

Should your evaluations and recommendations be turned in and completed before you submit your candidate kit, or is it fine if they get submitted a couple weeks afterwards?

Let's say someone receives a nomination from their District Rep., and 10 nominations were awarded by him/her. Who are you competing against? Is it those other 9, or everyone with a district rep nomination? Everywhere I look I see mixed responses and I don't see anything published by USAFA...

I'm applying for the class of 2028, and was wondering about how often I should meet with my ALO once I get my application really rolling, and around how often I should keep in touch beforehand. My Candidate Kit opens in July by the way.

I've been working on the Pre-Candidate Questionnaire, but whenever I try uploading a scanned copy of my SSN, it says "File Type Mismatched." Is anyone else having this problem?

Does the Air Force Academy have something similar to the USNA's Blue and Gold Officers? I'm getting ready to fill out the Pre-Candidate Questionnaire this week, but couldn't find anything on this.

I'm currently a Junior in high school and only participate in 1 extracurricular (marching band). I have a leadership role in there, but that is likely not enough. I spend most of my time at the gym, but don't partake in any sports. My ACT score is only a 24 as well. Given that I have a very slim...
