Our DD needs to decide if she will reapply to a SA, apply for ROTC (tomorrow is class registration), or just give up. She applied and had nominations for USAFA and USNA. She had a strong application but was slammed with a list of med DQs that was too much to overcome given the time. We...

Sorry if these questions are repeats. Our DD and I did not see it when we read the General Info. She plans to email Mr. Mullen later today. The general info and her recent DQ letter mentioned the Waiver Authorities MAY request AMI. Does than mean she could be denied a waiver without any more...

I'm dad so apologize for not saying this is for our DD. She totally agrees with the advice and her grades and SAT should give her some good options. She'd love to be an officer, loves space, medicine (Flight Surgeon?), anything science/math, even languages. The good problem she has is the...

Even if tests were to become "not required," my guess is SAs would not ignore qualifying scores from candidates who took them. Similar to other schools who claim they are not required for an application, many/most of those same schools also say they still expect them if applying for a...

DD took test this weekend in State College, PA. We drove 4.5 hours. Apparently it was a popular choice with hundreds of kids lined down the sidewalk and around the school. We were lucky and arrived early! Testing started late due to volume but otherwise sounded like it went well.
