No worries, its your decision to make just thought I'd try to help with my experiences and new perspective on things. But get in contact with your ALO and see what he/ she thinks.

Its quite alright, the academies don't owe me anything and I don't sit on the boards so I don't know why they made the decision they did. I'm just saying that even though I improved on every single part of my application, scores, leadership, CFA, I didn't get in. Its a gamble. That's why...

Nwp is definitely a gamble. I improved all portions of my application significantly and still did not receive an appointment. If I could do it over again I would do ROTC at a civilian college. Worst case you don't get in you're still on track to commission in 3 years. It can also be another...

I'd reach out to his ALO, I've been in steady contact with mine for the 3 years now. Maybe wait until things calm town a little bit, but make sure he keeps in contact with him or her and emphasizes his desire to attend the academy and willingness to reapply. The ALO has seen countless...

About to go in for round three of applying to USAFA- went to nwp last semester and am going to do ROTC at state school next year. Couple questions: Why did you keep applying to USAFA? What's the process of getting a nomination through ROTC? What do you think pushed you over the edge the third time?

I'm happy to answer any in depth questions any of you have by pm. Nwp is a great school but it is a little risky to go as a free agent. I think it's great for Falcons. You get a semester at civilian college so it's really the best of both worlds. The Durbecks are wonderful and are more than...

This is my second year applying, got a nom to USMA and USNA, not to USAFA since I live in such a competitive district (right by USAFA).. Got rejected to USNA already again. But am still waiting for USAFA as well. Best of luck to your son!

My RC told me 1200

Last year I was rejected April 7th I think. I've already been rejected for usna for the second time this year much earlier than last time though. Nobody knows how these things really work except for the people running it. As long as you haven't received the twe you're in the running, so never...

No way! That's my high school teacher at the 1:31 mark! Took ap gov, apush and economics with him, greatest man I've ever had the pleasure to have met. He sparked my interest in the academies and is an amazing mentor! So cool to see him in this video

You have a 12.3% chance of being appointed.

This is my second year applying to USAFA- they could probably send me "you're in" written on a cocktail napkin and I'd still frame it.

Exactly, be careful. Cadets read the USAFA appointee facebook page and they will look at your social media pages. Try not to be that annoying appointee, just be low profile.

I'm in the same boat, I'm from Colorado and didn't get a nomination to USAFA even though I'm a reapplicant with a 34 ACT, 4 years varsity sports, 4 varsity letters, NHS, full time job, etc etc. Hoping that people have some success stories they can share.

Ah, ok sorry mixed you up with someone else. I'm going to be honest, that flexed arm hang is horrible. I don't know if you will have to retake the CFA again or not, but if you failed they will email you tell you to take it again. I would work really hard on getting that time up for the...
