    CFA Scores

    Your portal won't say whether you passed or failed. You will be emailed by USAFA if you need to retake it, but your scores should be passing. Either way I would recommend training situps, pullups, and practicing the basketball throw and taking the CFA again. Good luck

    Lingo at USAFA

    "3 Bears"- 3 hills at the base of Eagles Peak which become subsequently longer, higher and steeper; the location of a coveted training session that doolies must earn (and sometimes don't complete until Rec); a place where doolie quads turn to iron

    gpa

    GPA is a pretty small part of the application, and it helps that your low grades are from freshman year. If they can see an improvement in grades from freshman year to when you're applying, you should be in good shape (especially if you're taking tougher classes). GPA is a small part of your...

    How can I build running endurance?

    For the basketball throw you just need to practice, especially if you have never played a sport that involves throwing (baseball, football, throwing in track). It would greatly benefit to take some time to figure how to use your bodyweight to your advantage and get some momentum behind the ball...

    To WATCH or not

    We can bring a watch if it's not a smart watch and doesn't have metal. I got a Timex Ironman and I love it.

    USMA v. USNA

    My advice for someone just starting the SA application process is to keep an open mind for all the academies. When I was in your spot a year ago, I was set on USNA. After getting an early offer from USAFA, my mindset changed. The vision you have for your future may change multiple times over...

    COVID Vaccine

    I'm not sure if it'll be required later on but, as seen in the email USAFA sent out, "we encourage all cadets and prospective cadets to get the vaccine as soon as they are able to under the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention tiered approach". It wouldn't hurt getting the vaccine because...

    All I would recommend is continue looking for service and leadership opportunities in your community that will make your application look that much better. As for the ALO Interview, mine was over an hour on FaceTime. Know your reason and purpose for wanting to attend USAFA. There are a lot of...

    My Presidential nom showed up in my USAFA portal about 4 weeks after I mailed in the paperwork. It was a different story with USNA; I mailed the Presidential nom paperwork to them in August and my portal didn't update until December. As long as USAFA admissions says they have everything they...

    Need help with summer seminar application

    Completing your PCQ alongside the seminar application won't affect your chances of getting into the program. Just make sure your PCQ shows you're a qualified candidate to compete for an appointment. Keep in mind that if you don't get selected for summer seminar, it does not mean you can't get an...
