Sorry to hear of your disappointing news. Good luck on your endeavors at the University of Colorado!Didn't get into the academy. Good luck everyone!
Well said! And thank you so much!@johnsmith27 and @Bamagirl33 I am truly sorry you and your DS respectively received the disappointing news today. Since you were on the waitlist, I have the utmost confidence that you are very talented and will thrive wherever you go. When one door closes, another door opens.
My DS joined the class of 2026 as a reapplication. If he had gotten in initially he would have been class of 2023 and be graduating shortly. He entered older wiser and more grateful to be there. He chose normal Doolie classes as he self-prepped. He took Chemistry, Physics, Calc3, A full year of German. He took a few Engineering classes and Biology. When he finally got to USAFA he was grateful it wasn’t his first college experience.Well, my DS also got the disappointing news today. He will now be attending the University of Georgia. He has an option to transfer to Ga Tech in a year. But I’m super proud of him because after his disappointment, he’s already talking about reapplying. I’ll be trying to research some of these forums about reapplications because I know nothing of that process. Best of luck to everyone. Y’all are, and y’all have, some amazing kids!
My nephew went to Auburn and was in AFROTC. He's now a major flying Vipers. It is an excellent program.Final USAFA waitlist decision of not this year came on graduation day (didn’t look until day after) so now my DS can finally assert that he is proud and excited to be heading to Auburn with a AFROTC type 1 scholarship in the Fall.
Fantastic!! My son really wants to continue swimming, too, even though he is not D1 fast (yet), so is looking forward to the Auburn club swim. The detachment there was so welcoming and really inspiring for him when we visited in March. It is still an amazing Air Force path which is his dream. Do you know, did your nephew have to get a private pilot license in order to be competitive, or did he get enough opportunities through AFROTC?My nephew went to Auburn and was in AFROTC.

He didn't have a PPL. He went to Auburn without being in AFROTC. He went by the detachment in the middle of his freshman year, asked what he needed to do to get into AFROTC. They told him, so he did it. He got a 3 year scholarship, was named honor grad, then was assigned to ENJJPT. He got his first choice of airframe while there. And as far as I can tell, he is having a blast.Fantastic!! My son really wants to continue swimming, too, even though he is not D1 fast (yet), so is looking forward to the Auburn club swim.

Congratulations, 1967chevy! My son accepted his Falcon Scholarship and is going to GMC too! I'll message you his contact information. He is wading through the paperwork now. : )Hey guys, not sure if we’re still updating the table, but I got a falcon scholarship offer after being put on the waitlist. So, if someone could put in today’s date and accepted, that’d be great. Also anyone who is planning on going to GMC this coming year, that’s my school of choice too, so I’d love to talk!
