Congratulations! Is it her first choice?

Amazing and congratulations! Can you let us know if you are a recruited athlete or any other special circumstances?

Same with USAFA. Report an issue and they say "give it time". But no change after weeks.

You are really close! Just get that math/sci score up. How many times did you attempt the ACT? True, you never know…maybe there was stiff competition from your district for Usafa. But surprised no prep school appointment. Best of luck! You sound like an amazing young person!

What was your ACT score? Seems like it was good enough to get you in USNA, so I’d assume>30? If not, that’s the big focus. Otherwise just being a reapplicant will give you lots of points with them. So don’t stress, just keep doing well in college classes.

I finally got a chance to read your blog site. And I found the post I was asking about, “USMA Acceptance Rates: Who Didn’t Make It” …had to go all the way to page 3! For some reason I remembered it on the USAFA forum, but apparently I was mistaken.

Haha. Thank you! How would you coach applicants to respond if asked about this during an interview? Seems like the "safest" answer would be to state the current view of leadership but display understanding of the current decision of Harvard case and ongoing litigation with academies. Then you...

Interesting... I'll try to find time to reading these at some time. A few years ago someone posted in the USAFA subforum a breakdown of one of the incoming classes. I don't know where they got the info but the poster showed two columns with test scores, gpa, and extracurriculars. The admitted...

I’m sincerely interested in these reports. I can just google them? Is there a summary report for each?

That’s terrible and I’m so sorry. I wonder if they purposefully did not push for the waiver due to the over enrollment? I can’t imagine them providing LOAs and then revoking them if applicants are triple qualified.

Yes, everyone is different, BUT, these applicants are almost all varsity athletes, so they already are in the upper tier of genetics. My son started with similar stats, except for a faster run, slower shuttle. He was worried he didn’t prepare for Navy candidate weekend cfa. But in 3 weeks, he...

I think you are onto something. I've heard college professors say that IB students are better critical thinkers/better writers than AP students. That is the theory on why AP added AP Seminar and AP Research to their offerings. My son is taking these. Unfortunately, I haven't seen colleges...

My son got that email too! But it said the application won’t be live until July 1st. For some reason I thought it would be sooner so he could get his teacher recommendations in by May/June?

When we visited the campus last Fall, we were taken through an area and ran into some students working with this awesome looking robot dog. They took the time to show us what they were working on, but DS forgot what class and what the students called the dog. Anyone familiar with this? DS wants...

Ok, that’s amazing. That’s worth over 100k. I’m going to advise this….make the pro pilot his plan A. If he truly wants to serve, he can join Air National Guard afterwards and pick the plane he wants to fly. There’s no guarantee of a pilot slot, or what type of plane he will fly at Usafa.

Very true..that’s why he’s not shooting for a 36 even though he thinks he could get it eventually.

What types of fixed wing equipment? Is it just c-130s?

We are in a competitive district so my son took the ACT one more time so that he could go from a 34 to a 35. MOC warned him the at it only takes one person stronger than him to make an appointment that much riskier. My son is trying to do anything in his control to help. But someone else could...

Funny, we were just talking about c-17s and how that would be his 2nd choice. I think he is open. Everyone we talk to says Ang is the best kept secret, but it seems like everyone knows and wants to join!

I’ve never heard of a full ride scholarship for pro pilot. I know there’s full tuition, but not including flight fees. Can you share what program?
