The academy said it is recommended that we have our wisdom teeth removed before attending I-day, because having it removed while at the academy will take cadets out of activities for awhile. Is it too close to I-day for me have them removed? I have heard terrible tales of students having...

I now have an appointment to both the Naval Academy and the Air Force Academy. Is it possible to find out if I am physically qualified to go to pilot training in the future? How can I find out soon, if flying is even a possibility for me? I have had surgery on my arm twice.

About how many cadets get into the ENJJPT program and go to Sheppard AFB straight out of the Academy? I assume it is very competitive, but if you are in the top of the class can you make sure you get to go to ENJJPT?

Is there currently a Combat Shooting Team and the Air Force Academy? and who would I be able to contact to find info on the team and the requirements to join. I want to start practicing for the tryouts.

Just got a call today that I was one of 2 in the state to get the MO ROTC Scholarship. He said that the results were just released, so I assume you guys will be hearing back soon. Now I have to choose between ROTC and the Naval Academy. Hard decisions.

I was under the impression that my acceptance to the summer seminar would take place of the pre-candidate questionnaire, so today I emailed my ALO if I should complete the Questionnaire and he said to do so. Should I do the Pre-Candidate Questionnaire? will this conflict with my SS application?

I just also saw my march scores! And I did terrible on the writing section(580/800) will this hurt me or does the academy not look at writing? And for your question, sometimes people have bad test days. For example my calculator died when I was taking the ACT. Best of luck

I have only taken regular Chem and am signed up to take AP Chem next year. At my school I am only allowed to take Physics senior year, but it is not AP:thumbdown:

Thanks, tomorrow I will call my ALO and try to get my summer seminar week switched, and if it comes to choosing one or the other I will choose boys state I know the Academy is what I want so I'm going to do anything I can to get an appointment, even if it means sacrificing the Summer Seminar

I just found out today that i have been nominated to be sent to Boys State, and i've been told that it is a very venerated leadership program. Unfortunatly it is on the exact same week that I have accepted to attend the summer seminar at the Air Force Academy. I was wondering which one to...

But this is only going to be my first time taking the test and I assume it will be the worst one. Will constantly updating my scores be looked at the same as if I send the best score after I've taken them all? Will they completely disregard terrible scores and only use the best test score...

I am currently a junior and will be taking my first SAT in two weeks. I understand that the Academy looks at the best score, if I take multiple. I was wondering if I should NOT enter the AFA's code on the SAT and then send a photocopy of the score report if I like the scores. Should I wait...

Session B Arizona

I was and am under the imression that the Air Force Academy is the better choice for those looking to get a pilot slot, since a significant number of cadets go into flight careers. But, I just recently talked to someone from AFROTC, and he stated that AFROTC was an equal or better path to take...
