The replies are suitably relevant, but vague enough that it could just be information gleaned from browsing this forum or other sites on the internet. It’s...

    Summer Seminar notification date

    Not getting into Summer Seminar has absolutely nothing to do with your application stats for an appointment. They are two separate processes with separate goals. Going from “I didn’t get into Summer Seminar” to “I’m just going to do SMP” is a ridiculous jump and shows no understanding of the...

    USAFA Waiting Page C/O 2028

    Take a look at AFrpaso’s graph from yesterday. That will give you a great view of the past few year’s appointment data spread. Nobody else is going to be able to give you a better answer.

    Standards in Free Fall

    Big Wave?
