Hey guys, recently accepted my appointment to USAFA and was running through the appointee kit as fast as possible. I went down to the Brooks Brothers store to get my measurements and for some reason I believe the guy may have made a mistake on my waist. I wear a 34 waist on my pants and thats...

If you do not receive a nomination from your congressman/congresswoman or your senator do you still receive a TWE or are you essentially automatically denies?

I submitted my application a while ago and am waiting for the third board to be released. I was awarded the Ike Skelton Scholarship but declined it before the third board convened in order to hopefully get a scholarship from the third board as I don't believe the Skelton Scholarship is the path...

I received an email today saying that I was awarded the Ike Skelton scholarship. I have been reading into it and I think I get the gist of it, but if anyone knows about the scholarship please inform me. Also, does this remove me from winning a regular 3 or 4 year ROTC scholarship?

Whats a song letter?

I am currently a senior at the Kent School in Kent, CT. I am not a foundation kid but am applying to Air Force and West Point. We have several Navy Foundation kids as well as Air Force foundation kids. If you would like to ask any questions about Kent feel free to message me or reply to me.

*When you submit your application you become a "Prospect." When USAFA processes your application you become an "Applicant." Should USAFA deem you competitive and/or you receive a nomination, you will become a "Candidate." Note that you may receive a nomination and still not be deemed competitive...

I have been 3 Q'd and received a nomination for the Academy. i checked my portal and my status was updated to candidate with an asterix saying competitive candidate. Does this just mean I have been qualified for the school? Is there a difference between a deemed competitive candidate and someone...

Like I said before email your admissions counselor andhe or she will ask for the cycle and batch number. Call ACT and ask for those and then email them to your coordinator. For some reason it is like the Academy has them but hasn't actually gotten to them yet. I had the same problem. Sent my...

This happened to me to Air Force as well. If you call ACT and get your cycle number and batch number then email it to your admissions counselor the process will go much quicker. My scores had been sent for over a month when I called my Air Force admissions counselor and he instructed me through...

Falcons, thank you so much for the reply. I wasn't sure if two nominations to the same Academy would help. I was wondering because if two to the same didn't help than maybe telling them would increase my chance for a nomination to USMA. Thinking I will just let it play out now!

Probably just slower. Maybe send them an email asking but as long as you got the letter it will show up.

Hey guys, I received a nomination from my congresswoman for the USAFA. My top two choices are USAFA and USMA. I was wondering if emailing the senator that I interviewed with and letting them know that I received the nomination or if maybe they knew already? I don't know if two nominations to the...

Mine showed up before I even got it in the mail.

Got mine from Nita Lowey a couple of weeks ago. Nothing heard from Senator Gillibrand yet.
