Pima, does a prep school appointment get charged to the slate?
And when do notifications for prep school to out?

http://www.usafa.edu/superintendent/pl/Incoming/NominationGuide.pdfNo, a USAFA Prep school appointment does not require a nomination and does not get charged to a slate.

I believe those attending prep schools do require a nomination.
Last year they went out in late April. But they could be later this year as it seems like admissions is farther behind this year than others, probably just because of the cuts.
I have a friend (AD) who manages 6 of the 13 programs that the AF recruits for and she told me that USAFA did not meet their recruiting goal for the first time this year. She said that General Ayyar and General Rice have been in talks to figure out what to do. As far fetched as that sounds it kinda made sense to me when USAFA admissions (march 14th on FB) said that they had only "roughly 35%" of their slots filled. Either things have gotten that bad in the civilian world or USAFA is simply just making people wait too long. (Most people are getting offers from other universities and have to make a decision.)
Regardless if its true are not the good news is that there are still slots available so if you havent been denied by now thats probly a good thing. If it IS true then I still see it as a good thing for us bc USAFA will likely make some more "exceptions" to get those slots filled...

So this guy walks into a coffee shop with a large frog growing from his head, he stops in front of the Barista and starts to study the menu. The Barista can't take her eyes off the frog on his head and after a couple of moments pass in silence she can't contain herself any longer. So she asks "if you don't mind sir, how did that happen"??? The frog replies "Well I don't know, it started off as a mole on my butt"...
BDummmp Dumpp!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I tried....
Romad goes wandering off muttering about how things weren't this tough in Peoria....
A+ for effort Romad! Thanks!
My DS is getting offers daily... every day by mail or email - we have an offer for "late admission application" or "free application" (probably something to do with the type 1 AFROTC scholarship). Today was a hand written letter from Texas Tech admissions office...
I know it's pretty late for afrotc scholarship, but is there any way you know to apply for one? (idk what the types are)
thanks for any help much appreciated!
YorkieMom -
I thought of you today... we got a dish set (tea cups, saucers, plates, etc) with Yorkie's on them at the Base Thrift Shop where I volunteer at. I should have taken a picture! I will on Thursday!
I checked out the Official USAFA Acceptance page from last year and it seems that there were two waves in the BFEs. One which was like what we experienced last thursday and friday, and then one the following thursday and friday. There were a couple that trickled in after that. Feel free to search through the forums and post the link if you find that page. Good luck everyone!
