    What are some stats of those of you who have already been appointed?

    We were so worried about DS’ gpa 3.77 and a -C on his transcript. But, his ALO interview said his resume was the best he'd ever seen… thankful but surprised to see his appointment early on Nov. 2. :)

    Summer seminar essay 2

    I strongly concur with Capt MJ. Like your first essay, why are you writing with such a literary style? USAFA is not Brown University:/ Getting accepted for SS will not matter for an appointment to USAFA, but your attack on the actual essay prompts for USAFA application will matter:)

    Essay Prompt

    My job has been to review, edit, and give feedback on college essays for the past seven years. 1.) Yes, Covid essays are cliche unless they are very, very unique...stay away from this. 2.) Everyone was affected, so colleges consider this "whinny". The best essays for SAs are the ones...

    USNA/USMA vs Princeton ROTC

    I can warn you about the 40-minute commute (without traffic) to Navy ROTC (Rutgers). So difficult to schedule with classes! If he will be an engineering major, even worse. The best advice is to pick the Service, not the college/academy, for a long-term view. My DD did Ivy AFROTC scholarship...
