What is the primary gun that will be used for training at Beast?

Can anyone provide some pros and cons to each academy or point to any existing threads that compare the two, particularly relating to post academy opportunities. Thanks

Is it important for EA II applicants to send in their first semester grades and if so when do they need to be received by?

My admissions officer has asked me for any updates to my file. In my update, would it help or hurt to mention that I have been accepted to another academy? I don't want to be seen as bragging, but at the same time much of the advice on this forum says that this is no time to be humble. Does it...

Doe the RC know what WCS an applicant has before the applicant goes to the admissions board? Or after, if the board adds points? I know the WCS is a closely guarded piece of information and never shared with applicants, but I was curious how involved RCs are in this part of the process.

Does anyone know what day of the week the CCEB meets? I received notice that my file will go to the board in the near future and I am wondering if the CCEB usually meets on days that holidays fall on the next two weeks and therefore would be deferred into the middle of January. Any insight is...

I understand that each academy makes their own waiver decisions, but is there any sense that any of the academies are harder than others to get a waiver? Does any applicant or parent have an example of being waived at one and denied at another? Thanks!

Does anyone know if there is any chance that an EA II applicant might hear of an acceptance prior to Christmas? Or January 1st? I know the official notification date is Feb. 1st, but I am just wondering. Thanks.

I realize the Board has thousands of applications to review and no one knows when their file will be reviewed, but will a candidate know when their file has been reviewed? Of course those fortunate to get a LOA, they will know, but for others will there be any indication or formal notice that...

Web portal status changed today to "conditional". Could this be good news?

I submitted my file early, which was competitive with past class profiles, and was told that my file looked strong. DQ by DoDMERB in September. No sign that the USNA will seek a waiver. Has anyone been processed for USNA waiver yet?

Is it acceptable to ask your MALO or RC where you rank based on the applicant pool in you area? MOCs in my state only give one nomination per candidate so for applicants that are pursuing two academies the selection of your top preference is critical. Without a LOE or LOA from either academy...

I received a medical waiver which is awesome. I know it is a needed step in the process, but can this also be a positive sign overall?

If the academy approves your medical waiver, is that a highly positive sign that you are very competitive or just another step in the process?

I am not a candidate for the USAFA, but I thought you all might be interested in reading a very disappointing story about the decline of the Air Force that appears in today's Wall Street Journal. Budget cuts appear to be decimating the Air Force. Hopefully the trend will be reversed. You could...

Are all applicants notified by mail or email when their record is scheduled to go to CCEB? If applying for EA II, do they hold all decisions until Feb. 1st or could a candidate hear before then? Thanks!

My application has been in since August. Waiver has been requested for my medical DQ issues and remedials were completed with excellent results in September. Everything moved quickly, but now all quiet since then. Is this normal? Any ideas about how long it could be before I hear anything? Or...

What role does the Blue and Gold officer interview/recommendation play in your overall candidate score? Is there some type of ranking or score they send to the academy? My interview went very well according to my B&G Officer, but I wonder if they tell that to all the candidates.
