Summer Seminar Participants

Get used to checking in there :thumb: It is the one you will use to check your application status.
 
I was just making sure that by logging in I wouldn't submit a PCQ (I didn't need to since I applied to summer seminar) :thumb:. I did log in, and it says exactly what frootytooties's says. Mine has all of the info I submitted for summer seminar except for my class rank. Does the admissions office add that when they get official transcripts?
 
We wondered the same thing because my son's showed his class rank on the SS one, but also showed "not provided" on this one. I thought he'd be able to update his resume when he went in, but you couldn't change anything (other than email, address, etc.).

He had his new ACT scores sent directly to the academy. Does he need to request and send an official transcript, or not yet?
 
The application is open to class of 2014, when do you actually get the checklist and information reguarding cfa and transcripts?

currently mine just says
status:applicant
Application:competitive

oh can you submit more ACT scores as your applying?

The official app will be opened up in August, and you can send more scores (SAT/ACT, or any other additions) to replace your older ones. Note that you need one English teacher, math teacher, and "other" teacher to evaluate your academic performance, so you may want to get their emails ahead of time.
 
I got session C, is it going to hurt my chances for getting in if I cant do a pull-up on the CFA (I'm a girl)?

Not that I know of, but it would look impressive if you were able to get a couple... I'd shoot for seven to get a max score if I didn't have to do eighteen!

There is the arm hang option for girls, but I'd try to shoot for pull ups.

I'm also a girl, and I asked my ALO is you can actually get in without doing a pull-up. He said yes, because your score on the CFA is a combination of all the events. Try to shoot for at least average on the events though, if possible. Getting a pull-up bar and doing as much as you can everyday helps a lot. My dad bought me one last fall, and initially I could barely do one. I started by doing the one I could, and then do a few negatives (jump/boost yourself up, and then let yourself down at a controlled pace). After about 3 months I was able to do 5.
 
I completely agree with Mikil. I bought myself a pull-up bar earlier this year. Initially, I could only do a chin-up (palms facing toward you). Now, I am up to 5 pull-ups (palms facing away). I would definitely get a pull-up bar and practice. You can buy pull-up bars that screw into a doorway, or ones that are removable and don't damage a doorway at all.

This is the one I got:

Just had to add myself (=
 
HCDS session C

Have to call ALO on phone. Rank is "LTC" how do I address him when speaking?
 
Thank you. That is exactly what I need to know.
 
Like RaptorDad said, make sure it's Colonel and his last name. When you first speak to him.

And any replies to him, make sure to include "sir"


Hello Colonel Jones, I called to ask _______

Thank you Sir, I'm fine.

No Sir,

Yes Sir,

Thank you for your assistance sir.

Pretty simple, but most teenagers tend to forget the sirs when the very dedicated officers put them at ease.

I am So excited.. I originally got rejected because of a Diversity push... and also because of my ACT score. But i wrote a heartfelt letter and my ALO helped me get onto the waiting list. Waiting list payed off and now im IN... WOOO HOOO
Remember they want to see determination. I know we all got into the SS but for the LOA , If you just give up then thats the end of it but if you keep pushing and make it known that its your life then you stick out to them. Thats the theory that got me in
