About a month and a half ago now I received my Falcon scholarship. My brothers friend (who is currently in the academy) went the NWP, but does not recommend it over Greystone for the sole fact that Greystone is two semesters of a university and NWP is only 1. According to him, some of the...

3/7/17 That's what it says on the application portal.

I am assuming that I got my scholarship because I was disqualified due to lack of certain advanced classes. I am pretty a pretty small school in Idaho so I didn't really have very much of what they wanted, so I was kind of expecting this to happen. But thank you! My biggest question right now is...

So I just got my Falcon Scholarship letter, and I am not entirely sure what to do next. I know that there are 6 prep schools to chose from and I am guaranteed entry, but what more? I know that NWP is like 12,500$ and my brothers friend went here (with the scholarship) and paid like 400$. I have...

Hello. This is a thread for people who have already received class of 2021 appointments. What are your credentials? For example, SAT/ACT, GPA, extracurricular stuff, and anything that would contribute to your appointment.

So would ROTC increase my chances more than going to a prep school? I would think that the prep school would be better because it is made for people wanting to attend academies, but am I wrong?

So I haven't gotten an acceptance letter from the academy yet (really hoping I do), but I have already been accepted into the Northwestern Prep School. My brothers friend who is currently a sophomore in the academy went there because he missed the academy his first year by 10 people. When I told...

Thank you for your guy's help. I have just been worried that the classes would be brought to keep me out or from getting a scholarship. Thank you

This is the Original Poster again. I'm not sure if this makes a difference, but I live in Idaho. I don't know if coming from a smaller state helps or hurts my chances. Thank you.

So I feel like I have a pretty strong application. 31 superscored ACT 33 English 28 Math 29 Reading 33 Science 3.8 GPA National Honor Society - 2 years (max) Eagle Scout 4 years of Marine Corps JROTC and also an officer within that program Team Captain of Cross Country (as well as lettered of 2...

Hello. My Marine Corps Major told me today that he may be able to nominate me to the USAFA. I already applied for the Congressional Nominations (I haven't heard back and I wont for awhile), but my ALO said that he cannot nominate me since we are a Marine Corps ROTC. However, when researching it...

Thank you. I am currently writing my writing sample with my grandma (who used to be a teacher), and that is the only reason I haven't submitted it yet. Other than that, I hope I have enough to receive an appointment. Thanks.

My ACT individuals were: English 30, Math 28, Reading 29, and Science 33. I have since retaken the ACT but I can tel you that the only one I possibly could have done better on is math (I haven't gotten the scores back yet). Yes I do do two varsity sports and I have for all four years of high...

So if I start on a language program now, and notify the academy that there was no Spanish for me to take, will it count for anything? And also, if my ALO tells them and I include it what would you say my chances are of getting in with what I have presented so far? Thanks.

So the story with the Spanish is that for 3 years now, the teacher has basically quit within about 3-4 weeks of school, and the class was cancelled or a substitute was placed in the class and they just had a study period and then the second semester they got to redo their schedule. I talked to...

This is the original poster again, and I figured I could provide a little more information about me. Bun CFA scores were pretty good: Push ups 50, sit ups 95 (max. He made me do 100 and I finished hat 100 with about 25 seconds left in the 2 minutes), 10 pull ups, 9.2 shuttle run, 83 or so...

so I am very interested in joining the USAFA, and I just have to hit submit on my writing sample and I will be done. I have a brother of a friend who is in the academy, and I have been talking to him quite a bit about the lifestyle and the admissions requirement. I have participated in 4 years...
