    Falcon Foundation vs. AFROTC Type 1

    I had a similar dillema this time last year. I received both Type-1 and Falcon Foundation scholarships. For me, it was a pretty easy descion based on my goals. My highest goal was to earn a commission. For that reason I accepted my AFROTC scholarship. I figured that not only would I get a year...

    Am I reading a situation wrong?

    I’m not too keen when it comes to recruited athletes. However, I do have a good friend that is committed to play hockey at USAFA. He had the option to come up this year or next, depending on if he wanted to start or not. They said that he needed to let them know by the end of March if he wanted...

    USAFA Class of 2022 Appointment Thread

    This was not the case in my experience... I contacted my MOC's office in mid-March and they told me that both slates for their district have already been offered, meaning that out of the two slates he had open, so far two nominees have been offered appointments. Then earlier this week my MOC...

    Waiting on College Transcript

    Mine arrived Jan 3 via tracking and was processed on Jan 8 the day after I completed my app and 7 days before my deadline. I don't doubt that they have it covered and will put it in your app, but if you want confirmation, I would call rather than email. Emails have seldom been responded to for me...

    Invisalign

    I'm an AS-100 (Freshman) on a high school scholarship in AFROTC and have Invisalign currently. I did get my trays a couple weeks before I contracted, but I can't imagine any regulation that would prevent you from getting them in AFROTC. You may have to not wear them for 13 days at field...

    Prep for CFA...5 days out.

    In theory, you should've done all of your training before hand, you won't improve your scores much by training the week of. So assuming you have been training, below is what I would personally reccomend. Sunday: Excersise. I would reccomend running through the entire CFA yourself so you're...

    How heavily weighted is the college transcript in the Air Force Academy Process?

    Going off this, what is considered a "competative" college GPA? Obviously college GPAs will be lower than high school, so does anyone have any insight as to how large is the spread for competative college GPAs? Obviously it depends on the college on the courses, but I'm looking for a...

    ROTC Nom

    Why do you say usually less? Is it because there usually aren't enough qualified candidates to choose under this slate? Or is it for another reason?

    Type 1, but no appointment

    A bit of a follow up question: Would it do any good to inform USAFA about my Type 1? Would it perhaps raise my national ranking? Do they already know? any advice would be appreciated. Thank!

    USAFA Appointments

    What district in MN are you? I know the 5th district has a congressional nom appointment. I also know of two individuals receiving appointments from the 3rd and 6th districts, but they also had Presidential noms.

    Type 1, but no appointment

    I got three nominations, both senators and a congressman. I guess I was just unlucky in that I was competing against a lot of good kids!

    Type 1, but no appointment

    Thanks for the support! And Nav you are correct, I meant relative to my AFROTC app, I'm certain there are those who have put in more work in their USAFA app. Additionally, I didn't mean to sound ungrateful for a Type 1. It is a tremendous honor to receive it, and I am very happy; USAFA was...

    Type 1, but no appointment

    Hello all, I recently received a Type 1 AFROTC scholarship, but no USAFA appointment. I understand that appointments are not over with (just most of them). I also understand that AFROTC and USAFA are two separate things and do not work together in offering scholarships/appointments. However...
