Good luck to those who may be waiting still. Congrats to those who are FFS recipients. Son got nonselect letter this afternoon. For him to be in the company of such talented, driven and focused candidates was truly an honor. He feels the same way. God bless each of you in your endeavors...

Thanks for your reply. DS got the nonselect letter this afternoon. He is pondering applying to service academies again. Best of luck to your son and the other prep cc's.

unitedwebe, I am reaching out to you for info about your sons offer to go to academy prep school this time last year. When did he get his offer and do you remember if FFS offers were made before he got his academy prep offer? Just trying to keep optimistic for my son's sake. He doesn't...

Thanks so much for that info! Keeps the faith alive!

Question for the former academy prep cc's: do you remember if the Falcon Foundation Scholarship offers came out before you got offered your prep academy spot? DS is still a candidate, but not a recipient of the Falcon Scholarship. Nobody is posting about receiving a prep school slot. Just...

Misery loves company! I am feeling your pain and anticipation! Are you enlisted or high school candidate?

Would someone answer this? I am wondering if you all were candidate status as of this morning or previously received TWE? Thanks!!!!

Congrats all you FFS awardees! I see no word of any Academy Prep offers. My DS received no emails to check portal and is still in candidate status. Do the academy prep offers come out after the FFS offers? Just hoping he is in line for some good news one way or the other. Anyone know if...

I am sorry. I was hoping you would get your appointment. I wish you the best!

I like your thinking!

Great! Sounds promising. I will certainly do that. Think I will just sit back, armed with all this info, and see how his candidate status eventually plays out! If he gets an offer of appointment or prep school, I am on it. Thanks, all!

Did your DS get a USAFA prep school offer next class? If so, may I ask when that offer came? Thanks!

I did call the gift shop at the Visitor Center by the Academy. They didn't have anything there. The girl put me on hold to check and came back and said they didn't have any shirts or anything like that. She referred me to the PX. Is there another gift shop I could check? I looked online at...

Yes, it will. You will see they have a different GPA than your transcript so you will know they adjusted it, if they do make a change. My son's was adjusted upward also.

Thank you so much!
