I am incredibly blessed to have received my appointment to USAFA. From what I’ve gathered, Mentor ALO’s sometimes present acceptances at Senior Awards Nights. However, I have a close relationship with a family friend who is also in the USAF. Is it uncommon or frowned upon for officers other...

What’s the handle/username? There appears to be a few.

I attended the virtual session this past year and although I wasn’t actually at USAFA, it absolutely was helpful. Having the opportunity to talk to faculty, cadets, and graduates gave me a lot to think about; it was invaluable. Attending summer sem can also provide TONS of great talking points...

Does having a green checkmark next to “DoDMERB Medical” on the USAFA portal indicate that I am medically qualified, or just that I have completed my medical exams? The medical status tab on the USAFA portal (and my dodmerb portal) both still say that they are awaiting receipt of remedial/AMI...

Just received my nomination from MD-05! Still nothing back from the senators, however.

I attended the virtual USAFA Summer Seminar this year and I highly recommend it. I too wanted to attend in-person, but the Academy does a great job of making the virtual program just as intriguing.

I received an LOA to USAFA with my remaining conditional items being a nomination and DoDMERB clearance. I was disqualified and need to have a remedial done (and likely waivers). However, I haven’t heard anything back from DODMETS about scheduling the remedial despite reaching out several times...

I got my LOA on October 31st. My deadline was Nov. 1st but I submitted everything by August 31st.

I submitted my college transcript to the admissions office and it was received on Oct. 6th. About 10 days later I followed up just to double check it had been uploaded to my file. Admissions responded by saying it has been posted to my record and will be processed. However, my portal still...

I’m finishing up my DoDMERB process and expect to be disqualified for a (possibly) waiverable condition. Can I still obtain a MOC nomination if I’m DQ’ed but actively undergoing the waiver process? What about if my medical status is not yet determined?

I took my CFA this afternoon after prepping for months. However, I did poorly on the sit-ups and shuttle (much below the averages). I was unable to find any “pass/fail” guidelines online and on this forum so I was wondering if I may need to retake the CFA because of my sit-ups and shuttle. BB...

For the final portion of the USAFA application resume section, the prompt states: “Please identify any hobbies and interests that may be directly or indirectly related to your intended program of study at USAFA. Briefly describe the impact you had within each activity/position. Please list...

Hello! I’m a junior in high school from Annapolis that has been interested in USAFA for around 5 years now, and am super driven to become a USAF officer! Here is a little about me. Academics: - 3.96 (UW) 4.43 (W) GPA and top 7.7% of class. - After senior year I will have taken 13 AP classes, 2...

I've gone to the Microsoft Teams website following the link provided by USAFA and used the same email I used to sign up for Summer Seminar, but I keep getting a message that states, "You can only access this site with a work account. Sign out to log in with another account." Is anybody else...
