Hahahaha!!! :thumb:

Hey! I'm from the 16th district in Illinois too! I got in through Senator Kirk, though. What city are you from?

Does anyone know how many cadets wanted aviation in 2012 verses how many got into aviation? This question is very important to me, but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere.

I got am email, but I can't log in either!! This has been the most suspenseful 20 minutes of my life!

I'm from Illinois. I'm not sure. I have some of the same questions as you. Knowing when doesn't change the outcome, so I guess it doesn't matter all that much. It just helps me be less stressed in waiting if I have a timeframe to which I can look forward.

TheChicagoan, Did you receive your appointment through a nomination by Senator Durbin?

I just called the admissions office, and my counselor told me that yesterday they were informed that we should all hear something by the end of this week. Good luck, everyone.

That's what I thought... Thanks!

Even if we incoming plebes are issued the ipads, we would still be paying for them out of our stipend, right?

Based on my experience... Last year, I was accepted to each the Air Force Academy, West Point, and Naval Academy summer seminars. To be honest, the only one I was even considering to attend in the long run was the Air Force Academy. But, because I thought it would be cool to visit West Point, I...

SLS session 1, 5th platoon, squad 2! The best!

Hey! I was 5th Patton 2nd squad at West Point SLS session 1 too! Who is this?

I received a type-7 AFROTC scholarship, and if I use it, I will be attending Illinois. I am still waiting to hear from USAFA, though. I also just received an appointment to West Point which threw a monkey wrench into my decision making situation.

1. Of the two summer seminars, I would say that the morning PT at the Air Force Academy was more physically demanding (doolie for a day was awesome!). 2. It was a year ago that I attended the summer seminars, but I remember them both keeping me about equally active. There was not much down...

So, this morning I was annoyed at awaking from an awesome dream I was having (I cant even remember what the dream was now) to a phone call from a number that I did not recognize. I reluctantly answered the phone while still half asleep. I said, "Hello?" in my stupid, gravelly morning voice, and...

This is a broad question. Do you have anything specific you'd like to ask? If you are wondering whether or not it helped me decide which academy was for me, I would say, yes and no. If you guys have the chance, definitely take the opportunity to go to more than one summer seminar! Last year I...

I spoke with the AFROTC detachment, and I was told that the type-7 scholarship is capped at $18,000. It is essentially a type-2 scholarship for in-state only, according to what I was told. This is why when I asked if the type-7 scholarship would cover the university's $3,500 in fees, the...

FYI guys... It's good to get to know each other ahead of time and everything, but the chances of being in the same element as someone you meet on here in summer seminar are slim. Believe me, they'll keep you so busy, you'll have a hard enough time just keeping track of yourself! If anyone has...
