Congratulations amak22!! If the AFA is what you want, I'd jump at this opportunity!

Thanks for posting. And congratulations on your USMA appointment!

Anyone heard anything yet?

Oh oops, okay thank you! I must have skipped that whole top section of the page trying to read about the requirements. Sounds like it will be a great second chance opportunity for those top some odd 100 kiddos. Here's to hoping!

Yes! Thank you! I Google too. It's also the best for school projects. I was wondering though if there is a certain number they take every year on average.

Do you have any insights on how candidates are chosen for the FF scholarships? Thanks.

Thank you for the encouraging words. Our DS's dream has always been to fly for the USAF and the rejection was devastating, esp with no chance for the Prep School. He does have some hope in the AFROTC scholarship but we have heard that pilot slots are far more difficult to get. We are researching...

Ours also had that line about the course recommendations. I think that part is pretty generic. Call me obsessed or call me crazy, but I have also been racking my brain and reading the forums now about FF. Plan B is AFROTC and reapplying for my DS, but FF would be so much better in his eyes!

I have heard of others with the same line in their rejection letter. I think if it doesn't say you're not eligible, then maybe they're still considering you for it?

Exact words from rejection letter were: Thank you for applying to the Class of 2019. However, I am sorry to inform you we will not be able to admit you to the Air Force Academy or the Air Force Academy Preparatory School this year.

My DS is not eligible for the PS as stated on his TWE. Is the criterion the same for FF? He would love any chance for that.

Thanks for the answer!

What is the difference between the AFA Prep School and Falcon Foundation? Sorry if this question has already been answered. :)

PJdaines, my DS is in the same boat. This seems like good news since you are still in the game, and if they are considering you for a medical waiver that could indicate they deem you competitive. As far as I can say from reading all the forums and the DodMERB website, there is no timeline and...

Thank you for posting your new info.
