    USAFA summer seminar

    I agree with the above. Acceptance to the summer seminar means nothing in terms of admission to the academy. That is what we are told again and again and I fully believe that is true. BUT, for those unsure of whether SA and military life is for then, the summer seminars are helpful, in my...

    Cadet for a Day

    Benefit of AIM AIM is held in July and she had accepted a position for a research program at an area university during that time. IF she applies to civilian universities, this may carry a good amount of weight...not to mention the experience. She applied for AIM before knowing the results of...

    Cadet for a Day

    Cadet for Day Our D received the email too. She had to turn down an invitation to AIM, so this will be a good opportunity...if she takes it. Having been to USAFAss and UNSAss, she liked both experiences but is unsure if SA life and, even more so, the commitment beyond that, is for her. She is...

    Rejected to Summer Seminar, chances at appointment?

    Summer Seminar Our D did get into summer seminar and her BGO pounded it into her that it means nothing...think of it as summer camp and a time to tour and learn about the academy. PERIOD. "Your work began in 9th grade with grades, sports and leadership. It continues when you get back from the...

    NASS-Session III

    AIM and USNAA We heard exactly the same. BGO said that NASS is a CAMP. He is STRONGLY encouraging our D to go back for a candidate's visit weekend and his opinion is that for someone like her, who has no family background in the military, NASS is a nice 'visit' but can't touch on USNA life...

    Fires and the Summer Seminar

    OP here...and no, I was not offended by the post regarding checking our D's email. She has a school email address to which we have access and check on occasion and she has no issue with that. She also has a personal one that we never check...as she has never given us cause for concern to do so...

    CFA question

    NASS CFA was given on day 2 (Sunday) when my D went. She said: -take lots of socks and two towels -there is Mass/Church on Sunday as an option. A LOT of kids went, but you do not have to -don't worry if other kids go home after a day or two. It happens. -if he is early to finish the...

    Fires and the Summer Seminar

    Point Taken Agree with you, Blahu...and my husband echoed your thoughts. My point was that she was at NASS and probably not thinking about it. His response was: "She'll think about it when she gets home and figure out she needs to check her email or call." Sigh. I am learning...slowly, but...

    Fires and the Summer Seminar

    Given the depth of the tragedy and loss for many with this fires, this is not of any huge significance. However, I am wondering if the summer seminar has be altered or cancelled at the academy. Our oldest has NASS this week and I cannot remember her email account info. to get in and check and...

    ALO Question

    FYI...in our daughter's case, she did not hear from her ALO at all until after she was accepted to the summer seminar. A few weeks after getting her acceptance, he sent her an email congratulating her and introducing himself. He told her to be in touch if she had any questions about summer...

    NASS CFA question

    NASS and BEYOND Have not talked to her much, but it seems that she likes NASS and USNA...but is not sure about the long term commitment beyond USNA. She is going to have to think that through. She is trying to remember that NASS is a camp...but to look beyond that and remember that going to...

    NASS CFA question

    No News Good News? Interesting! So if the scores are listed as 'recorded' and no one notifies you that you need to take it again, it looks like the assumption was that you passed. Wonder if that is still the same today? S

    NASS CFA question

    CFA Results So, on the REQUIRED APPLICATION DOCUMENTS on the Candidate's admission page, if it states the date of the CFA, does that mean that the candidate passed, or simply that they took the test that day??? S

    Anyone know how the first week of NASS went???

    Clothes! Okay...I have a daughter who will likely over pack. So, they do NOT where civilian clothes on any outings? Wait...actually...do they go on outings? I thought someone told me something about DC, but that could be wrong. Are two pairs of sneakers enough? Also, when flying in do they...

    NASS CFA question

    CFA My understanding is that you can use the CFA given at NASS or West Point SLE for the other SAs. However, USAFA does not give the CFA during their summer seminar (because of the altitude). And I don't think that the USCGA summer program fitness test is the CFA. S

    NASS CFA question

    My D is going to session 2, which starts this Saturday. She then is headed to USAFA. She really does not know if an SA is for her at all. This is all totally new to our family. She has been SO occupied with school that for the first time she looked at the NASS packing list this morning and went...

    AIM Waitlisted

    Accepted Applicants Timeline I think waitlist folks will hear soon. D informed AIM she would not come and received and email offering financial aid. I think it went to all who had been accepted and either declined or did not reply to accept. The drop dead deadline to apply for the aid (i.e. if...

    NASS CFA question

    NASS I agree that this board is very, very useful. It sounds like your son, as a swimmer and one who wants to do well, will be just fine! My dd, on the other hand, is going to NASS more on a fact finding mission to see IF she wants to pursue this. We have let her be and she is working out...a...
