Thank you.

She has communicated with ALO for a year and we went to an AF Admissions Forum recently. This is for Class of 2024 admissions.

DD started the online application and it seems very brief with yes/no questions, a few test scores, and such. It this a preliminary application and a more detailed application continues later?

okay found a new document here: http://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Documents/DD/issuances/dodi/613003p.pdf?ver=2018-04-09-114201-123

I was able to find in the past links to DoDMERB documents which list all conditions and maladies that are noted by DoDMERB as disqualifiers and some that can be waived. I can't find this document or a link on DoDMERB. Anyone has a source?

They will now!

In the BFE, the Appointee has to get a law enforcement background check form signed off in the jurisdictions where they live and go to school, if different. The traffic citation is not a conviction (yet), and would not listed in the background. They do have a question to list police contacts...

Of course USNA qualifies candidates (1) scholastically, (2) medically, and (3) physically =3Q. no dispute. However, candidates increasingly have information at their fingertips and are used to getting real-time results. Yes, they will eventually know if they are DodMERB qualified, and CFA...

Its YOUR education. This comes up a lot. I have seen this with parents who either are Ivy Alums, or (more commonly) have the mistaken idea that Ivy league means more success and $$ in their kid's career later. Why do they think an Ivy school is best for you? What is the purpose of the Ivy...

My DS (now 2020 Plebe) school clubs select the club's leadership positions the end of the previous year, so opportunities were few to none when being a new member of a club. His solution...he started a new club. This actually resulted in more documented leadership and he was the founding...

I seem to recall there is a check box item on the application to identify if English is a second language.
