2013 Appointments

yes, they wait for college students to submit their second semester results to send out the instructions. For high school students, they already got there first semester grades and they know that the their final grades will reflect that since classes are year round. Also because the majority of high school appointees are in AP/IB classes and they tend to be somewhat lighter/easier the last semester because of exam prep. They have the same teachers, same classes, same routines YEAR round. BUT with college students you might be taking certain classes that they want to see results from. You're taking all new classes that semester from the first with different teachers and a whole new routine. I think they wait on college students just to be completely SURE....with high school they know what the appointees will receive. Mostly because the final semester is all down hill.....nobody is going to have a major drop in GPA or fail a class the final semester of senior year. It just doesnt happen....

Thats what ive heard at least....could also just be a processing thing. not sure exactly

Got my appointment at the end of March! I sent in the acceptance and received the candidate instructions packet within 10 days. The April 13-14 orientation was great! Met flyboy91 there! Hey!
Now I'm working to keep up grades, running most days, and working on upper-body strenghthening.

Congratulations to all the the other appointees, and good luck to everyone who's still waiting!

Chemistry B-
Chemistry lab C
Calculus II B+
English B+
Air Force A

3.02 term average
3.10 cum. average
 
Well, I don't have the time to scan through 55 pages of the thread, but to answer your question; I have to ask a question. You show a 3.02 semester and 3.10 cumulative gpa. What was your gpa when you APPLIED to the academy, and what was you current GPA at the time the gave you your appointment? College is not High School. A 3.85gpa in High School can't even compare to a 3.85 in college. But, doing basic math; if you have a 3.10 gpa cumulative; and your 3.02 gpa for the semester brought that down to a 3.10; then basic math says that if this is your freshman year at school, and you've only had 2 semesters; then you were probably holding close to a 3.18 gpa prior to the final grades of this semester. Therefor, I would say that it didn't drop that much and you're probably OK for the appointment. The best thing for you to do is to ask your ALO and ask them to check with your academy counselor. But your semester and cumulative gpa isn't that far from each other. That means that mathematically, it's very unlikely that you had a 3.60-3.90 when you applied and received your appointment. Unless of course you somehow applied with all high school grades given and didn't mention college grades. But again; that's unlikely if they gave you an appointment. Best of luck. Mike....
 
Well when I applied, which was right after graduation, my finishing high school gpa was a 3.97. I got the appt. in february after i sent in my first semester transcript which at the end of the semester in december was a 3.18, you're correct. I guess the only thing i'm worried about is i got a D in my chem I lab last semester and after working harder in chem lab II i only come out with a C because of issues with the final. So i'm not sure if that will be good enough increase.
 
You had a "D" in chem lab; and THEN THEY gave you an appointment. Now, you brought that up to a "C". So in that area, you actually improved.

As you can see; college is definitely different than high school. There are those who didn't get an appointment the first time around; and DIDN'T GO TO COLLEGE the first year. They worked and whatever. They re-applied and received an appointment the 2nd time around. So basically, the college grades are different than high school. And the academy understands that. I really doubt that you have anything to worry about. They gave you an appointment AFTER RECEIVING your 3.18 gpa transcripts. You only went down .08 on your gpa overall. And the one area you were the weakest in, you actually went up. If you're concerned, I would call your counselor and ask about sending in your 2nd semester transcript. Many students graduate high school literally a couple days before showing up for "I" day on June 25th. They will be there before any transcripts are for the 2nd semester. I don't know of anyone who was at BCT for "X" amount of days/weeks and was told they had to leave because the academy just received their transcripts and they weren't good enough. No, had you failed a class, you are expected to tell them. But you're in college; you passed all your classes; you received credit for them (Not that credit means anything for an academy degree); but it shows you passed everything. I believe you are fine. But contact your ALO and counselor if you're worried. best of luck... mike.....
