It's definitely the road less traveled... it can be done but it's not easy. If you can stick it out though, it speaks volumes about your character. I was a Free Agent at NWP in the '15 class and 6 out of 30ish Free Agents from the class made it in... so you really do have to fight for your spot...

Free Agent from NWP here! Now a C4C at USAFA on the brink of recognition. Loved my experience at NWP. The Durbecks are very wise people, and NWP gave me every opportunity to get an appointment. Not to mention I got to come into USAFA with 40 or so of the best friends I've ever made! If you...

Verizon is definitely the best regardless of dorm. AT&T works well in Vandy and is decent in Sijan. Sprint is what I have and is on and off depending on where you are. Best advice is to wait until you get here to see where you end up location wise, but I'd also recommend buying the civilian wifi...

My squad mate at USAFA is from Guam and I could route any questions you have to her!

Yep, best decision I ever made! -20er

Advice from a 4 *: As far as mental preparation goes, It's almost impossible to prepare for what you get thrown in to. The transition, the non-stop yelling, the quick thinking and the belittling all seems to come at you at once, especially since the cadre can modify their training to how they...

I will PM you

Could not have put this better myself. Just attending a prep school or re-applying alone will not get you there. However, using the extra year to your advantage to hit the accelerator and really improve your weak areas is what will make you successful the second time around. If you want it...

Last year my TWE came in the afternoon, and this year my appointment came in the morning. Don't give up.

You will still have time. In fact, most of the Falcon Foundation students that went to NWP had no idea the school even existed until they received the scholarship. I believe the scholarship gives you a list of prep schools to choose from. Also, if you know that you would like to attend a prep...

At Northwestern Prep, the weaknesses of your application will become very apparent, as you are starting the application process over from scratch while making significant improvements. To make sure you understand where your application was weak/needed improvement, the director of admissions...

If USAFA is where your heart is and you receive a TWE, do not give up. Even if you don't receive a falcon foundation scholarship, there are still prep school options. I received my TWE last year around this time, applied to Northwestern Prep the same day and was accepted the day after. I went to...

You will learn 20 vocabulary words and their definitions (verbatim) per day, practice SAT/ACT Math questions daily, complete at least 3,000 pages of reading over the semester, and learn how to properly dissect sentences. Everything is tied together and sharpens your attention to detail. My SAT...

I would highly recommend NWP. I too didn't get in last year because of low test scores. I went to NWP as a self prep, improved everything on my application and now have an appointment. PM me for details

When I requested to join the group on a Friday I was not added until the next Monday.
