I GOT IN! all the hard work seems to have paid off. I am attending session B but will be there the week prior as well for XC Camp. Any other session B'ers?
Should we create a facebook group?
I was not selected. I feel like my dreams and plans have all been crushed.
FYI guys...
It's good to get to know each other ahead of time and everything, but the chances of being in the same element as someone you meet on here in summer seminar are slim. Believe me, they'll keep you so busy, you'll have a hard enough time just keeping track of yourself! If anyone has questions about the seminar like specific questions about doolie for a day or anything, I went last year, so feel free to PM me or post a question on here.
This is a broad question. Do you have anything specific you'd like to ask?What was your experience with the SS?
If you are wondering whether or not it helped me decide which academy was for me, I would say, yes and no. If you guys have the chance, definitely take the opportunity to go to more than one summer seminar! Last year I was fortunate enough to be accepted to all three, although I was only able to attend West Point and AFA. Prior to the summer seminars, I was dead set on only shooting for the Air Force Academy, but after going to West Point's seminar as well, my mind set was completely changed! They are both amazing academies! There is so much that you will learn about the academies when you attend summer seminar. As I am now waiting to see if I will receive appointments from both the Air Force Academy and West Point, my greatest advice is to attend more than one seminar if you can, and keep an open mind! Had I not attended the West Point summer seminar, I can almost guarantee that I would not have even applied for West Point... But now, here I am just a few days away from knowing whether it not I will receive my appointment to West Point.Did it affect your views on your future?
If you would let a small setback like this, if it even is a setback, crush you... then I wouldn't recommend applying to an academy. Also, another recommendation... read "Lone Survivor" by Marcus Lutrell... it will teach you what it means to never give up.
