Thanks, That's what I figured. I followed the check list with a few exceptions. I'm both excited and nervous. I haven't really trained all to much lately, so it'll be interesting. I mainly want this week to help solidify my desire to attend the academy.

Alright thanks, I'll bring some snacks, and I won't bring any dress wear. The dance was a post on here, but I looked at the schedule and saw that it said there is a dinner on the last night for parents to come to if they would like. Aside from that I'll be doing PT or classes. Will I have any...

Hey guys, I leave in the morning for summer seminar and wasn't sure if you guys had some recommendations in terms of items to bring? I followed the check list, however I was thinking that someone might have a useful item to bring. Aside from that I heard that there was a ball/dance/something...

I thought I would update everyone. Just got accepted as a delegate for Boys State! Honored and excited!

Thanks Rocko, I really haven't thought about it that way. That few weeks since I found out my class rank (142/419) I've been kicking myself. Just two or three B's less and I'd be top 20%. Two or three more and I'd be top 15%. Anything past that I'd be top 5%. However you're exactly right. I...

It is true That's a good point. It's hard NOT to think about it! I couldn't imagine myself elsewhere. The best that I can do is portray myself that way for the admissions counselors.

I did see that thread. I actually found this forum after reading about 10 different threads about GPA. Seems that nobody knows what the Academy does to your GPA.

I am most concerned about my GPA. I'm not sure what exactly to think about it. All of my peers are in that top 15% of the class and here I am getting high B's in most of my classes. Not many people have confidence in my acceptance to the academy. Lately with a lot of our top students getting...

My goal is to bring my score up just a few more points. I will say that my brother has set a high standard. Am I trying to achieve that same goal? Yes and no. I want to go to the academy because I want to. Not because I feel the need to. The idea of attending the academy both excites and...

Thanks! I am aware of how difficult it is to get in. The difference was that my brother graduated third in high school out of over 800 students, never got a B in his life, and had a 35 ACT. As well as plenty of leadership roles. He was accepted a month after applying through a senatorial call...

Hey guys, I'm new to this forum, and actually just found it after searching for my answer! I was wanting to get a few opinions from you guys. I am currently a junior in high school. Air Force is by far my number one option. My high school is a rather competitive high school that is one of the...
