Okay, thanks guys. I was worried for a bit there... I'm actually not even sure how USAFA got the scores, because I didn't send them, and they weren't on my transcript.

I first took the ACT and SAT as a Freshman in highschool, and scored very poorly on both (20, and ~1000 math+reading). I retook the SAT a few more times, and ended up with a 1300 math+reading. However, I never ended up retaking the ACT, so my score is still a 20... Needless to say, this isn't...

Thanks gokings!

Does anyone here know if re-applicants have to have another DoDMERB exam? I was always just assuming that they did, but ROTC told me that I was medically qualified for them, and didn't need to have an exam, which the rest of the AS 100's (freshman) did.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but if I remember correctly you could change the evaluators name/info as long as the evaluation had not been completed. Once an evaluation is completed they lock the ability to do so. So to answer your question, your portal should update as each evaluation is...

I'm reapplying to the academy this year and am looking for some advice as to which college classes the academy might like to see on my transcript. Last year I took college level chem I, chem II, calc I, and calc II. The college I'm attending has already accepted those credits. So for this...

You're not gonna like this, but in my opinion the best way to get good scores on pushups/pull-ups is to do them. I put a pull-up bar up and just did them a few times a day and within a month I went from 7 to 14. Your DS has plenty of time before he will have to take the CFA so go ahead and...

As far as I understand, anybody who is entered into the candidate phase from July 1st up until October 31st can apply under early action. In order to apply under early action you have to submit your entire application (including ALO interview and dodmerb) by November 1st. If you do complete...
