    Physical Test?

    What exactly are the events for the test required for an AROTC scholarship? Is it the APFT (2 mins pushups, 2 mins situps, 2 mile run) or something else? Also, why do I have to include two public colleges in my "intended schools" list? Do I actually have to apply to the ones I put down? Thanks!

    Letters of Recommendation

    Just to make 110% sure, West Point does not ask for optional/required letters of recommendation, correct? I have teachers on board with Evaluations, but I don't need any formal/traditional recommendations? I'm pretty sure USNA does encourage this, so just checking. Thanks!

    LOA -> Appointment - Decision Window?

    If a candidate receives an LOA now and accomplishes all the additional requirements (nomination, complete file, medical qualification, etc.), when, roughly, will they receive the offer? And if it is received very early (i.e. well before the large March pool), will they have to respond early too...

    Home of Record State

    In the ROTC application, it asks for the "home of record state" for myself and my parents; how is this different from the state I put as our address?

    DoDMERB, DoDMETS, DoDwho?

    So I got the letter with all the info about my DoDMETS account, I've gone to both appointments, and my "status" on that site says all my info has been received (it is blank under the "Date Withdrawn Date First Chase Letter Issued: Date Second Chase Letter Issued: Date Submitted to...

    "Eczema"?

    I had one bout of what my doctor called eczema when I was 12, with minor patches in 3 places; it was treated with an over-the-counter cream and went away, and has not come back since. Knowing that most known eczema cases are a recurring problem, will I have to appeal this one-time issue, and if...

    DoDMERB Letter Before App Mostly Done?

    I got my letter detailing how to schedule my appointment in the last couple days, but I am confused as to why I have it already (I'm not complaining, just wondering if this has happened to anybody else and why it might be). For USMA, I have yet to do all 3 teacher recs and essays, and their...

    CAR Update

    I just received an academic award (one of the AP ones), but I've already submitted my Candidate Activities Record; how do I update it? Also, is this award (I'm sure a lot of candidates have one of them) something I should even put on the CAR? Thanks!

    MA Cowan/Markey Nomination Application?!

    It's been awhile since Ed Markey was elected to the Senate (to refresh non-MA residents' memories, John Kerry, the previous long-term senator of MA, just became Secretary of State, and Ed Markey was elected in his place in June after a brief interim term by William Cowan), yet William Cowan's...

    SLE -> USAFA and USNA CFA Scores

    I took the CFA at SLE, and if I plan on using those scores for USAFA and USNA, how should I go about sending them? Do I put a USMA contact in the forms on the AF and Navy applications? Or do I just contact USMA admissions and ask them to send the scores to the other schools, and after they have...

    Interview

    Hi SAF, I have a "first meeting" planned with my ALO very soon, and I was wondering what kind of questions I should be ready for (besides "why do you want to attend USAFA"). Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks in advance!

    AIM Questions

    AIM is coming up, and I have a few questions for anyone who may have been there in the past. 1) I've read that a sizable number of attendees drop out. I by no means plan to give into whatever pressure may make people to do so, but I was wondering why exactly so many people cannot make it...

    Value of GPA?

    Hi, I am applying to USAFA class of 2018, I go to a very challenging private school and work extremely hard, my SAT scores are >2300 (taken it once), but my GPA is roughly at a B+. Will the actual difficulty of the school be taken into account so as to compare with GPAs at less rigorous...

    CFA

    I'm taking the CFA this summer and have been working towards doing my best possible when the time comes. I would like to ask, however, if I might be at risk of failing one of the events so I can make sure to work extra hard on that one to avoid failing the entire test. My sub-average events are...

    SLE Questions

    Hi everyone, If anyone has attended SLE in the past I would greatly appreciate if you could answer some of these questions: 1) How far / what pace is running during physical training in general, excluding the CFA timed mile? 2) What are the most physically strenuous activities (i.e. a lot of...
