Hello,

Unfortunately, I did not get accepted into USAFA for Direct Admission. I got a letter stating I was invited to attend the USAFA Prep School and only the prep school. I was not given an option as a falcon scholarship what does this mean for me? By accepting, by everything?

Anyone else on here get accepted to prep as well?
 
I think it's a really exciting opportunity. You get to spend a year in the prep school improving your academics as your profile seems to fit what they are looking for but your test scores are somewhat low. After a year at the prep school you will likely be accepted next year.

I would love this opportunity for my DS, congratulations.
 
You just received what most call the Golden Ticket. My DS was also Offered the Prep School and Accepted his Appointment. He is very excited for this opportunity and from what I hear the Preppies have it so much easier their Doolie year than everyone else coming in Direct Entry. Do some research about the Prep School in your search option. Lots of Threads, very good information. Congratulations! There is USAFA Prep Class of 2019 Appointment Thread.. you should go add your name and for now, list undecided

When did you receive the letter? Did you have congressional, senatorial or presidential nomination?

What were your test scores if you don't mind me asking?

Yes, you have received a golden ticket ! Although you sound kind of bummed, you should be proud!! The academy select direct admission, prep school, or falcon scholarship recipients. You are one of approximately 240 chosen. You have something they see as an asset to the Academy but may need improvements somewhere. My son was a preppie, the year there prepared him for the rigorous studies at the Academy. Some have turned down other acadamy offers to attend the prep of their chosen academy. Congratulations!!

Oh, and I forgot to mention. They do not give you an option of prep of falcon; you’re chosen for one or the other.

Is it better to be chosen for USAFA Prep instead of falcon scholars? My SAT scores was 1270. Everything else was to up to par, but no one for 10 years in my community has been to a service academy, so I don’t know what the standard or bar was for direct admission.

Well, I am partial to the Prep school because my son went there and I do not have experience with the falcon scholarship. The admissions office knows what they’re doing. There’s something they see in you they want.
 
The Prep School is offered to applicants with good leadership potential but needing a bit of additional time to get ready for the academic rigor of the Academy. This is a great opportunity - study hard and keep your nose clean and you'll have a very good chance of joining the USAFA class of 2023. Congratulations.

I’m glad I’m given this opportunity. It’s one thing to read my application on a sheet of paper, but Its another thing to show people that I could shine in person. I think USAFA Prep will give me that opportunity. Thanks!

Also the P is free and you get paid while learning to be in the military before you get to USAFA. It's a sweet deal
 
There is a Facebook Page named "Parents of USAFA Prep School" that has a lot of information. I scrolled back to this time 2017 to read parents' posts. It really helped give us an idea of the Prep school process. Congratulations!
