The Air Force Academy has implemented a new application. I wanted to start this thread to see what questions candidates have?
Where did you see this information? Did you see this on the application?...Because I cannot locate this deadline anywhere.I saw that the new application has a universal deadline of December 31st. Does this also apply for re-applicants or is the re-app deadline January 31st like last year?
The December 31 deadline is for submitting the Pre-Candidate Questionnaire (PCQ). The deadline to complete the entire application is rolling and depends on when the applicant is first promoted to candidate status.On the old admissions portal it says, “applications to the class of 2026 will open on March 15,2021 and close on December 31st, 2021”
This is the pre-candidate questionnaire. Once this is submitted and an individual meets the requirements to be entered into the candidate phase, a full application with a new deadline will appear. This deadline can be from 1 Nov to 31 Jan depending on when the individual was entered into the candidate phase. It cannot be emphasized enough that individuals should apply early and finish the application ASAP.On the old admissions portal it says, “applications to the class of 2026 will open on March 15,2021 and close on December 31st, 2021”
Your DD must go in and submit a new pre-candidate questionnaire. The summer seminar application will not be used as the PCQ this year.My DD applied for the summer seminar back in January. Is that application the same as the PCQ? She has an ALO but no word that she was appointed to official candidate status or access to the candidate kit.
Thanks for any info.
Actually, If Golf is listed as an activity, there is a place to put additional information such as the golf handicap. While I am being facetious in my answer, the explanation area will be viewed by our readers. So if there is relevant information that a candidate wants to convey to the readers, this and the resume are areas to put this information.Does the new application also ask for Golf Handicap and Pillow Preference?
Admissions will only ask pillow preference if you receive and accept an appointment.Actually, If Golf is listed as an activity, there is a place to put additional information such as the golf handicap.

These are the high school transcript, school profile, senior year schedule.Hello! On the checklist it states a request for “Official School Records” has been sent. Do you know what this consists of/how is this different than the HS Profile or Senior Schedule or Official Transcript.
Thank you!
In another thread, @Insider indicated an impending retirement, is it safe to assume you two work together and you are considering a role as the provider of similar inside information to the SAF community?The Air Force Academy has implemented a new application.

It will show submitted in your portal with a date. And if you do extra recommendations, then the name of the person submitting will also show up. At least it did in last year's portal.Do we get notified when a LOR or teacher eval has been submitted?
