    Swab Summer

    Alright, so I don't really know what all of Swab Summer entails, and how it's broken up. I'm very familiar with the Air Force Academy's BCT program and how it is broken up into two sections, BCT 1 and BCT 2. Is this somewhat similar at the Coast Guard Academy? Can anyone share what they know...

    Test Scores

    I just got my scores back from the SAT and I got an 1800 overall, but only scored a 500 on the math, which clearly sucks. Do I have to report my SAT scores when I apply, as long as I have my ACT scores (which I got a 27 composite)? If not, would October be too late to re-take my SAT?

    How is CGA harder to get into than the other SA's?

    So, a lot of comments have been thrown around that CGA is much more competitive to get an appointment than any of the other SA's, and I've heard for reasons like because of the Congressional Nominations and because it's much smaller than USNA, USMA, and USAFA. How does the congressional...

    Parent Concerns

    So both my parents are incredibly supportive of my desire to attend a service academy... except for USMMA. While I admit that USMMA would not be my top choice if I were accepted to multiple academies, but my biggest desire is to serve my country in any way I can. That said, if I do get accepted...

    SAP at Marion Military Institute

    Just checking, if you go to MMI in the Service Academy Prep program, do you still have to pay to enroll in the program?

    Working Out

    Besides running a lot, what is the best thing to be doing to get in/ stay in shape? I'm not a member of any gym, so should I join one?

    Physical Readiness

    I am trying to get a head-start on being physically fit with a short term goal of the AIM program and long-term goal of Swab Summer. That said, I am not a member of any gym, and I was wondering if joining one is reccommended, or would home work-outs suffice? Also, I've heard a lot of...

    Junior Varsity

    I've been playing JV women's soccer for three years now since I started high school, and I am team captain this year. Will not having played on the Varsity team hurt my application?

    Test scores for AIM

    Just wondering, will not providing test scores affect my chances of getting into the AIM program? I haven't taken the ACT or SAT yet, and I won't be taking the ACT until about a week after the application is due.

    AIM program or USAFA Summer Seminar?

    I was just wondering, if accepted, whether I should take the AIM program over the Summer Seminar? I'm on the fence between wanting to go to CGA or AFA more, but right now I'm leaning more heavily towards CGA. Any tips? Which one is better (for those who have gone or heard about it)

    So I was told the application for the AIM program would open up today. Any ideas as to why it's not available?

    Letters of Recommendation

    So, I have a bunch of teachers who have all graduated from the Air Force Academy and I was wondering if a letter of recommendation from them would prove more beneficial in the admissions process than a letter from a "normal" teacher (this is assuming each letter was the same). Would the...

    About me

    Hello! I am junior in High school and I have long been interested in the service academies. That being said, USAFA is my number one choice as both my dad and my brother have attended that academy, but also because I have looked so much into it and decided that the Air Force is where I want to...

    Competitive?

    I am a USAFA 2018 hopeful... but being from CO means it's going to be ridiculous for me to get in! Anybody else from Colorado? Both my dad and my brother have gone to USAFA, and I was also wondering how that influences my chances. Thanks!
