I was in the exact same spot last year. I didn't get an appointment but wanted to reapply. I did so and received an appointment for the class of 2018. 1. You can use your ACT/SAT scores from last year, but you will need to resubmit them (but you do not have to retake them). You must retake...

I've heard good things about the rocky's and I am considering getting them myself. They are expensive but if you use the code ROTC at checkout you'll get 45% off! So for ~$115 that's not a bad deal.:smile:

I have yet to hear anything from the Academy, and I am becoming nervous. I knew that there was a big group of portal updates today but I was not among them :frown: I was wondering when the next round of portal updates is to be expected. I have heard that they update 7 days after the admission...

Thanks everyone, I fell a lot better now. Guess I'll just have to be patient, as hard as that is :redface:

I was wondering this too, my application still says that I am a "Candidate". And I don't believe that any of my areas were low enough to not earn a qualification (32 on ACT, met or exceeded almost all of the CFA scores, cleared by DoDMEB)

Thank you very much! According to last years stats I now have about a 52% chance to get an appointment! :smile: I probably wont be able to stop myself from checking my application page multiple times a day, but its nice to know that I could be getting a personal call.

I was looking at the profile of the class of 2016 that my ALO gave me during my interview and I noticed that there was a category that said "Qualified Candidates" and that there were 2331 of them last year, then it stated that there were 1214 offers of admissions. I currently have my...

Thanks for the help! I'll be sure to get one last addition in before the deadline! Also I have no doubt that AP Calculus and AP Chemistry, along with Track and a few other things, will keep me plenty busy:redface:

I completed my application in the fall, a few months ago. Since then I have faxed two different sheets with additions to my application (joining teams, awards, etc.) According to the academy's website all applications must be complete by January 31st. Does this mean that this is the last day...

Does USAFA check up on their candidates grades at any time? Or is there any other type of "watching" that they do?

Thanks for the help! One step closer!

Today I opened up my online application status page and in the section "nomination status" it reads Status: received. Does this mean that I have received a nomination? Or does it mean that they have received info from my congressman (I had an interview a few weeks ago). Thank you for the help.

Hi, I've heard a lot about a "virtual campus tour" of the academy. I have been unable to find any way to access it though. I am currently a candidate and am filling out my various forms. Here's a link to the video of it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldk-FmCYPCc If anyone has any...
