I think you are onto something. I've heard college professors say that IB students are better critical thinkers/better writers than AP students. That is the theory on why AP added AP Seminar and AP Research to their offerings. My son is taking these. Unfortunately, I haven't seen colleges...

My son got that email too! But it said the application won’t be live until July 1st. For some reason I thought it would be sooner so he could get his teacher recommendations in by May/June?

When we visited the campus last Fall, we were taken through an area and ran into some students working with this awesome looking robot dog. They took the time to show us what they were working on, but DS forgot what class and what the students called the dog. Anyone familiar with this? DS wants...

Ok, that’s amazing. That’s worth over 100k. I’m going to advise this….make the pro pilot his plan A. If he truly wants to serve, he can join Air National Guard afterwards and pick the plane he wants to fly. There’s no guarantee of a pilot slot, or what type of plane he will fly at Usafa.

Very true..that’s why he’s not shooting for a 36 even though he thinks he could get it eventually.

What types of fixed wing equipment? Is it just c-130s?

We are in a competitive district so my son took the ACT one more time so that he could go from a 34 to a 35. MOC warned him the at it only takes one person stronger than him to make an appointment that much riskier. My son is trying to do anything in his control to help. But someone else could...

Funny, we were just talking about c-17s and how that would be his 2nd choice. I think he is open. Everyone we talk to says Ang is the best kept secret, but it seems like everyone knows and wants to join!

I’ve never heard of a full ride scholarship for pro pilot. I know there’s full tuition, but not including flight fees. Can you share what program?

I read that USAFA didn't allow students a chance to complete their CFA at last years' SS. Is that the case this year?

If you want to payback the service committee by serving in the ANG, is that possible? Do you get to pick the ANG? DS really wants to fly fighters/bombers. It seems like this route would help guarantee that if he gets to choose.

I’m not allowed to link the video, but search YouTube for gain service academy channel. They have a video about this. It’s maybe why so many high qualified hs applicants were denied.

Did you take it? How’d you do?
