    The summer seminar application cannot be used as the Pre-candidate Questionnaire this year. You cannot opt in. This is because the application is being redesigned for the class of 29.

    Air Force Academy Rejects

    If your file is complete, these letters won’t go out until the 21st of April. It’s all in the Instructions to Candidates. 99 percent of the questions on this forum can be answered by reading this document.

    Appointee Kit Link is active

    The appointee kit is not active. Five appointees were chosen to test a reconfiguration of the kit for this year. They are test cases. Additionally, conditional appointment letters will not change to cleared for a while. This was a problem with the new system last year that is being worked on.

    USAFA Appointment List Class of 2026

    Thanks for putting this together. I'd like to shape expectations for this year. The new system development is going well, but is a bit behind schedule. Expect LOAs and offers to be delayed beyond the normal time frame. USAFA is working hard to get back on track but asks you to be patient.

    My HS Class Load is too intense... what do I drop?

    2 APs per year is reasonable. Drop the English. You will need AP calc to get by and also preserve options for a technical major at USAFA. AP US History will teach you the why of defending our country. It also teaches you research skills.

    Late Appointment

    Go for the brass ring! As the first poster said, not all Preppies make it which opens up spots. Additionally, COVID has pushed everything to the right and the medical waiver decisions are not all complete. As USAFA gets DQs on medicals, some spots will come open. I anticipate a small trickle...

    Second Semester Grade Prep School

    This is a huge issue. Contact Ms. Durbeck now. You also need to submit your grades to USAFA. They will be reviewed.

    Everything you need for in processing will be on the portal once you accept your appointment. BFEs went the way of the dinosaurs years ago. USAFA will mail an appointee certificate in April for presentation at award ceremonies and suitable for framing. The Director of Admissions is doing...
