I have been accepted to usafa but am greatly considering rotc at another school. Is there an option to 'defer' my appointment for the following year? I visited last weekend and some cadets said that on their online application they could choose to accept, deny, or defer the offer. Thanks so...

Hello all. First of all, I want to wish all those still waiting from the Academy the best of luck. It sure is nerve racking, but a decent amount of appointments are still being handed out in both April and May. Anyways, I am visiting the Academy as an appointee next Monday and Tuesday. I am...

I hope this thread can give insight on the social and spare time aspect of cadets at the Academy... which I have not exactly seen too much of... :eek: Can we discuss the amount of free time and the freedoms cadets are given at the Air Force Academy? I am also interested about when cadets...

For all those hopefuls and/or committed appointees back at home awaiting BCT and the unique life at the Academy-- what are some books to read including guidance and insight on cadet life at USAFA? I've been dying to find a book like that. Or perhaps a documentary or movie:rolleyes:

I have searched for this sort of information all over the web, and find uncertain answers... Of those graduating from USAFA, do most want to fly? Of those, how many are able to become pilots? Is this a highly selective process?

I just had an incredible experience on a 7 day cruise (this past week). I met so many Spanish-speaking teens my age and gained a greater appreciation for language. Currently I am in my 4th year of German (I really don't care for it), and I have no experience with Spanish in school. If I...

Hey everyone, 1st semester is over here in Maryland, and I was curious if and how they should be sent to the Air Force Academy. Also, are they worth a lot to the admissions decision? Secondly, my class rank has changed (very slightly), however for the better. I want my application to be in...

Ok, well first off, I want to wish every USAFA applicant/parent/familymember good luck!!! Anyways... nominations... I applied for a total of 4... the (1.) presidential, (2.) local congressman, and (3&4) both senators. In short, I got all FOUR nominations! (very thrilled) But I don't...

Hello all! And Happy Holidays from Maryland! I just found out I got a nomination from my local congressman. Under my nomination section of the Air Force online application, it reads: Nomination Status Status: Received Nominators: • Presidential • Senator Barbara A. Mikulski •...

I currently have 2 nominations. A presidential military affiliated and a senatorial. Let's say I don't get the appointment slot in either nomination, are the national nomination pools super competitive? And is that my only other shot? I'm rather worried

I received my letter from my senator saying I got a nomination to USAFA! I live in Maryland, so the competition was tough. However, I realize that the senator nominates 10 per academy, and only appoints 1 of the 10, is that true? I'm slightly confused, am I in good shape? Can anyone explain...

Hello! How many people apply, and how many of those receive the presidential nomination from USAFA? Is it just based off Candidate Score? Thanks so much!

I have completed my application, except for my CFA. Two quick questions: 1. are most LOAs given in October, or is there still hope in Nov, etc. 2. How do my stats below look in terms of admission. I must say I am very intimidated whenever I read some student's SAT/extra curricular involvement...
