After the academies have determined who they are going to offer appointments, do they notify the non-selected that they did not get selected? If the Naval Academy is on a rolling admissions, do they tend to fill their available slots a lot earlier than the Air Force?When does the Naval academy...

If you have to stop and change planes or have a layover in Denver you may as well get off and grab a car to drive. The car rental place will come and get you and the rental lots are very close to the airport. It is only about an hour or so to get to Colorado Springs. You can also do some sight...

What should the Naval Academy Portal show if a candidate is qualified by DoDmerb? Should it say "qualified" as the Air Force Academys' does, or will it simply have a link to the DoDmerb site. Does the Naval Academy update the portal with medical qualified status? My candidate received a letter...

Christcorp, a student has a unweighted GPA of 3.90 and his high school does not weigh the scores. Our state provides a program that allows high school juniors and seniors to attend a local community college to complete their last two years of high school. The students have to pass a college...

The only thing holding up the completion of my son's application is the interview with the Blue & Gold Officer. He had an appointment with one in August set up. Then the officer canceled the appointment because he said we lived too far apart. Our family had already told the officer that we would...

Does anyone know the formula for converting a ACT score to an SAT score? What would be the SAT score for a 28 ACT English, Math, or Science score?

Session B was June 8th-12th

ScoutPilot, I am not referring to "Firsties". I am referring to incoming students (freshman or softmores in terms of other universitys) who are underage. I wouldn't expect anybody to "monitor or babysit" an adult who is at the legal age to drink. My expectations would be that if students are...

Mr. Mullen, thanks for reminding me of some of the reasons I like the academy....pasted from your post (volunteer work; hidden demonstrations of humnaity to emulate; great displays of leadership, etc.)

Thanks Bandit, I was actually referring to on campus and not to facilities off campus. So, the monitoring would come from who ever is responsible for the kids while they are on campus. No, I didnt' realize that Haps bar was next to Arnold Hall....thanks for that information.

I was recently super surprised to hear that alcohol incidents occur frequently at the service academies. I thought that the students would be monitored more strictly. How much "partying" really goes on at the Air Force Academy?

It seems if they issued her a candidate # with a user name and password, then they consider her a "candidate". Does she have access to begin filling out the forms for the application when she logs in?

took and completed eye/physical on June 23rd. Does dodmets automatically forward the results to dodmerb? or are we suppose to do something to make that happen. I am looking at dodmets web and the space is blank where it indicates "Date submitted to dodmerb"

Have any 2015 Air Force Academy applicants been able to go online and provide information to complete the application? The webpage says that the applications opened up on March 31st. My son went to ss and so completed the pre-candidate application for that. He did not fill out other application...
