    AFROTC and Corps of Cadets at Texas A&M (TAMU)

    Howdy! Thanks for the information! That's what I originally heard, but I figured I had the wrong/outdated information. Thanks for the clarification. About the class schedules, I was able to configure mine on myedu.com. It is a great site that has all the class information (times, courses...

    AFROTC and Corps of Cadets at Texas A&M (TAMU)

    Hey RaptorDad, Nice to see some fellow Aggies on here. I'm pretty much in the same boat as your DS: TWE from USAFA, AFROTC scholarship, Corps of Cadets. You can select a squadron at your NSC. Mine is July 11-13. I would have preferred earlier though, I can't wait to get down there...

    Class of 2016-Mailbox Stalkers Club

    Haven't done it yet, but its getting close to time for most to turn their paperwork in. May 1 is a pretty common deadline I think. I have a Type 2 AFROTC and some other Texas A&M scholarships, but like you LFry, no deposit or other scholarship acceptance is going to keep me from going to...

    Class of 2016-Mailbox Stalkers Club

    Same here. Just wanted to let you know I'm in the same boat. Hopefully we get some good news tomorrow with the portal update (supposed, don't hold me to that) or by the end of the week with mailings (once again, just according to information from pima). No news might be good news. Frustrating...

    Importance of school profile?

    Thanks Everyone! I couldn't have said it any better! Thanks so much to Pima, Christcorp, and everyone else who helped clear up my assumptions/misunderstandings. I guess its true what they say about people who assume too much...:shake:

    Importance of school profile?

    I understand what you are saying about USAFA adjusting my GPA according to my school profile, but that's assuming that it was reported on the same scale as the rest of the candidates to begin with. Let me restate my question in a different format: Other candidates on here report that they...

    Importance of school profile?

    What about private schools? I must admit, I am a bit confused as to what a "4.0" GPA is because my school weights it differently. The only way at my private school to get a 4.0 unweighted is to get a 100% on all classes, regardless of AP/Honors status. By this definition, I have a 3.8, meaning I...

    Official USAFA Class of 2016 Appointment thread

    Just wondering, Texasrocks, are you a Recruited Athelete (RA)? I am in TX-03 as well (with a nomination), and would like to know if appointments are going out. I know that TX-03 does not rank, meaning that no appointments will be automatically given to candidates who are both qualified and have...

    Is there a way to find out if I'm fully qualified?

    Are the terms correct in the 2016 candidate catalog (the one they sent out early November), because at the bottom of my "application status" section (the very first one where it shows "your status," "your application is...," etc.) reads the following message: -- *When you submit your...

    Primary vs. Alternate

    What is the competitive method of nomination? My impression is that, when compared to the rest of the nomination methods, that he identifies the top 10 applicants, gives them all "equal nominations" and hands them off to the service academies to decide their fate? Is this a correct...

    How are my CFA scores?

    With regards to the whole retaking issue, my ALO, who is now currently the Area Director for ALOs, said that I could take it as many times as I wanted, as long as I did not submit the scores. Once they were submitted, however, it was a closed deal, unless otherwise released by the Admissions...
