Usafa Elgibilty

[Hussain2008]

Hey,

I am a 10th grader aiming to go to Usafa and I'm currently on track in terms of academics and extracurriculars, however I skipped a grade and will be 17 by February of my senior year, after the application process is over. I didn't think this was a problem until I read to apply you need to be a 17 and i would be 16 at that time.

Is their any exceptions to this rule or do I have to give up on usafa?

You do not need to be 17 to apply, you need to be 17 by July 1st of the summer you'd enter.
