    Two at USAFA

    Well, you can have an adequate GPA by doing well in some classes while failing others. So not being in the lower 25% doesn't necessarily mean that you haven't flunked a required course, perhaps twice, or even a few required courses. These twins were in different classes, one 2015 and one 2014...

    Questions/Personal Opinion

    FWIW, my DS is a 3* and says that the mental strain is greater on this year's Doolies than it was last year; however, the physical is less.

    Summer sessions

    Plans are to get him back on the 22nd (Friday) but we heard rumors that they had to be back by 1330 that day rather than in time to report for duty on the 23rd. Never had any confirmation either way. One cadet told his mom he didn't need to back til the 24th. We're going with the 22nd.

    Summer sessions

    But it doesn't list any times, just days, even if it's 43 pages long.

    Summer sessions

    The calendar shows the first session starts June 2. On June 23, it says first session ends and second session begins. So if a cadet has first session leave, when is check out and when is check in? Is that posted somewhere? I couldn't get the USAFA site to load.

    Thanks & prepare for plan B!

    Agree completely. We kept plan B in place until A-day and only then withdrew from the other school and returned the scholarships. Had something happened during basic, however, he had another top engineering school lined up.

    Football question

    Just be sure to have everything set up ahead of time. I know a cadet who wanted to play soccer but could not get an escort to try-outs when she was a basic.

    After a nomination, what next?

    We didn't relax until A-day. We held Plan B just in case he was sent home. The "flu" at Jack's Valley had us wondering for a while. Now, I'm canceling ROTC, housing, classes, and 4 scholarships that can't apply to a service academy.

    2011-2012 calendar

    Wasn't the calendar updated in May to move Recognition and Spring Break to one week later than shown on this link?

    Food Poisioning at USAFA?

    DS said he felt a little queasy and light-headed on Friday so stood down. They bussed him and a bunch of others to quarantine on Friday, where he finally was bored enough to write a letter home. He hasn't been seen in any of the Webguy photos the last 5 days.

    Do I HAVE to apply for a nomination from BOTH senators?

    Don't forget the vice-presidentia application in addition to the senators and representative. Try to cover all channels if you want to go.

    Question: Number of Applicants and Candidate Pool

    FWIW, I don't think the status "qualified candidate" ever appears on the application. It will still say "candidate" after medical qualifications are met and a nomination received. Eventually, around 1100 will see the status change to "appointee."

    USAFA Admissions posted to FB that they already have over 7000 applications for next year. Good luck to you all.

    USAFA with Associates?

    I have talked with a currrent C3C who entered USAFA last year with a BS in Finance from a top 10 business school. Four years, full schedule, just like everyone else and just like CC said.
