@Twins4us Some of my Falcon Scholar friends got calls today about their appointment and they were all told their portals would be updated March 3.

You should if they were below 1550. However, I did not, because of COVID. My old SAT scores were 1400 so I wasn't too worried and I was specifically told if I couldn't retake the SATS due to COVID it was okay.

That was for last year :)

They don't exactly say, but almost all of the time it's someone who needs better academic prep but is well-rounded and desirable in every other way. I've heard of people who needed better CFA prep as well.

I am a Falcon Scholar and I never received a TWE.

I’m a Falcon Scholar and I was told if I get my grades up and passed the CFA, I was practically guaranteed a spot for USAFA. This is a fantastic opportunity and you’ll be even more successful at USAFA with an extra year’s prep under your belt.

You're very right. I just have to hope and pray for the best and accept whatever comes.

I didn't know that. My parents live in Okinawa. I wonder if they would deny that request because of COVID.

I prefer to be anonymous about both of those :)

Do they have wide or narrow feet? I have wide feet so I'm steering clear of Nike and I'm trying to get an idea of what I should try out.

You could always consider ROTC, unless you don't want to join the military.

Falcon Scholars had a Zoom meeting with Admissions.
