My DD was a Falcon and had a friend who got a TWE. He went to one of the prep schools, and they both got in the following year. Just another avenue rather than regular college that I know worked.

My DD accepted her FF after much disappointment that she did not receive a direct appointment, and I think it was the best thing that happened to her! She went to NWP for a semester, and second semeseter got to "adult" on her own in an apartment while going to community college to finish out...

May have missed this if someone else posted it, but this was sent to the Parents Clubs From the Supt for context: Official Statement by USAFA Superintendent, Lt. Gen. Richard Clark: USAFA Statement on Diversity and Inclusion Training Parent Club Presidents, You have likely seen, and are...

Thank you @Dad_2024. This was a beautiful and poignant prayer.

Hello all, This is the response I got from the Waiver CA CDE regarding a waiver for a private school: "It would be a local decision in consultation with the Local Public Health Officer and the State Public Health Office. Only the Superintendent or Head of School is allowed to submit the waiver...

I just sent a comment to Newsom via the link, and inquired with waiver@cde.ca.gov about the possibility for a waiver for this small private prep school in the middle of nowhere. We will see. Have not mentioned to Durbeck’s. Hate to bother them if there is no hope. They had a plan before...

Thanks Hopeful Mid 2024! Great and very helpful thoughts :).

Thanks Dad 2024! I was looking at AirBs. Cancellation policy is strict, but AirB has been changing some of these to accomodate for COVID. Good insight into schedule :). I love your prayers!

Out of towners - where are you lodging? I looked last month then got busy. Need to figure this out :). Thanks!

Hello! Just circling back on the Forum. I think DD is volunteering on Wed so I am not sure if we will be staying longer or driving back to CO on Thursday. Would love to meet some of you NWP future Falcon parents! Keep us in the loop in case we are still there to join for Thurs dinner...

All great comments! My DD got an FFS a couple of weeks ago, and wasn't sure about it as she was in the same boat with regard to not really understanding FFS. I think the question that got her wheels turning and to her ultimate answer was "Would you have accepted an appointment to USAFA?" Of...
