@qwerty123 First post, starting the thread. Tell me again how people who have been offered an appointment aren't allowed to participate?

@Wishful - it looks like a new member resurrected a 7 year old thread. OP last responded in 2011... That makes me think the new member did some digging before asking the question. Thanks for the great advice to the resurrector (if that's a word), but the OP ought to now be a graduate if they...

I'd edit my response if that would make you happy, but it doesn't really change my message. You're taking a shot at a kid that changed their mind, and assuming your kid was next up. USAFA counts on about 200 slots going unfilled over the course of 4 years, since they're limited by statute how...

Last year, on the Thursday before TX, this video was taken of the C/C's receiving their appointments. It's going to be another month or so before they get official word, less than a week before graduation.

If your DS/DD is not a prior, there are information sessions at drop off, but most of the same info is presented on Friday of Parents' Weekend. Priors actually report 3 days early to take care of paperwork in advance of the direct entrants, and there's nothing for parents to do that day besides...

Long time lurker with a C/C at the prep school - I'm hearing it was, in fact, a Nerf Gun battle at the P, starting late into the evening (low light outside) that was reported (falsely) as an active shooter. Social media/instant communications picked up the ball and ran with it. The lockdown...
