I love golf and am hoping to be able to play a lot (for fun, not on team) at the Air Force Academy over my next four years there. A few questions though. When would I have the opportunity to play freshman year? I know there are two courses on campus; are freshman allowed to play during the...

My high school counselor and I calculated my GPA to be 3.91 (freshman-sophomore year). When the Academy updated my portal, they recorded my GPA as 3.84. I understand that sometimes they make corrections to base GPAs off of their scales, but my 3.91 was unweighted and very accurate. Do they...

I'm not sure if it is different for every nomination source, but do most congressmen and senators allow for ACT and SAT scores to be superscored? My two senators and congressman have no information about whether or not they do and their offices are currently closed. I understand that the...
