DS is a self prep at MMI now. Best decision! I have only grown more impressed with their program as time has gone on. If your parents are hesitant, take the time to visit . It was a very last minutes decision for our DS as we did not hear from our academy until very late April. They...

DS going to self prep at MMI starting in August Very impressed with the school and those we've spoken to. Are they are on the same timeline with academy deadlines, etc? Last year we had everything submitted by early Nov. I'm wondering how scores and feedback from MMI would be when they have...

What sorts of things make you 'not pilot qualified ' at the academy ?

While you are waiting to hear about FF check out MMI in Alabama. It has a top notch wrestling program with some former Olympians as coaches I believe. A dad of a FF grad shared some great info about the school, and in my searching on their website and YouTube videos, I happened to see their...

Waiting to hear as well. Have heard last years came beginning of May.

The aeronautics degree...B.S. with a military emphasis is through Liberty U in Virginia. Their Air Force ROTC detachment is in partnership nearby at UVA. We went to visit Embry Riddle in Daytona Beach, and the ROTC rep explained that ROTC only offers scholarships for degrees which are needed...

Thank you, a bit old school here with the acronyms. Read through all the posts here again last night, and got a better idea how FF picks work. Aeronautics school at Plan B university didn't fall under approved AFROTC scholarship programs, so we need to be self pay, and only want to commit...

Congratulations on your appointment for this year! Not sure if this is the thread to ask this on, but can you talk a bit about what you did over this past year, that you feel led to an appointment this year over last? Thanks!

DS received a non-select letter in his portal Thursday, but no TWE. Would they have told him if he was being considered for a FF scholarship? Thought we would need to move forward with financing at plan B university now, but maybe we should hold on for a bit yet?

Do they tell you the specific areas they are looking for improvement ? How do you find out about prep school options?

In PA, District 9 Have not heard anything
