Hey y'all, Just a quick tip for any 2020'ers who will be on the appointee tours- go ahead and bring a book or something to keep yourself entertained. While on the cadet escorted portion of the tour, you might be stuck sitting in a class while cadets are testing and it might be a bit boring...

I was wondering if some current cadets can give me some advice on preparing for Calc next year. Do you guys think it is necessary to memorize the unit circle, trig identities, and things like that before arriving? In my high school, we were allowed to use notes so we didn't have to memorize...

Hi, So I have looked online, and it seems very difficult to get tickets to the USAFA graduation as just a regular member of the public. Last year, I was able to get tickets through a cadet who knew someone I knew. I remember that when we were there, they were just sort of handing out tickets if...

I have a question about the sponsor program at USAFA. I am a CO native, and my parents think that I should not get a sponsor family because they are intended for cadets that are from out of state. First off, is this an option, to not get a sponsor? Secondly, my parents are considering becoming...

This was posted a couple of days ago on the Academy's website. It gives the names of the cadets who will be holding leadership positions for Fall 2015. I have a feeling we'll all recognize these names pretty soon ;) http://www.usafa.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123443956

Hey guys, Since receiving my appointment yesterday, I have constantly been thinking about BCT. So I thought I would make a thread for those, who like me, need to nerd out about BCT a bit, and don't want to completely drive their families insane with the freaking out! So....what are you guys...

When will those who were not selected typically begin hearing that they were not chosen?

So I just finished with my BGO interview and it was pretty terrible. I think I did a bad job. So does that mean my chances are shot?

So I was notified today (finally!) of the status regarding my presidential nomination. Here is what I got from my counselor: "I updated your file with the Presidential Nomination. I didn't get here as counselor until the end of September so, it was overlooked. You are good to go now. You also...

I know that today is the deadline for the AFROTC scholarship submission. Yesterday, I submitted the final piece of information, which was the PFA. It still shows that my application is "active" and that I still need to submit the PFA. I think it said that my PFA submission was under review by a...

Does anyone know when the application deadline is for The Citadel? I keep looking but can't find anything. I know it is pretty late to start looking at applying to this school, but I have been focusing mainly on the SA applications so now I need to turn my attention to other schools. Any insight...

I have a couple questions on the current studies portion of the application. For the current studies portion of the application, should I just enter what I am taking for the last semester of high school? I haven't sent in my transcripts for first semester in yet, but I am assuming I should do...

I am currently applying to West Point and am eligible for a Presidential nomination, but am unable to find a whole lot of instructions on how to submit the nomination request. I have been able to find sample request letters and such and know how to fill out the paperwork, but I don't know where...

Hi, So I don't know if it is way too late to start thinking about all of this, but I hoping to apply to the Coast Guard Academy. When I was interviewing for a nomination to the other SAs, one of the interviewers suggested I apply to the Coast Guard Academy as well. The problem is, whenever I...

Just curious-- to those who have gotten appointments, where did it first show up? Did it come in an e-mail, in a letter, or through snail mail? Or was it a combination of all three? If so, which one(s) came first? The reason I am asking is because if I get an appointment, I have a cool idea to...

I submitted my Presidential Nomination request over a month ago but still haven't heard back. I know I qualify; my Dad served for 22 years in the army. I am wondering what to do next. Should I resend it? Should I ask my admissions counselor?

Hi, This is my first time posting on the Naval Academy section of this forum, and this may seem like a dumb question, but I was wondering what happens if you go to USNA but you aren't a very good swimmer. USAFA is my first choice but USNA is second and I have begun to worry that if I am...

Hi, I am currently working on securing a nomination for the USAFA class of 2019. My Dad served 22 years as an army officer full time in the National Guard and then retired, so I believe I am eligible for a Presidential nomination. The problem is, I have been looking all over the internet and...

Hi- I have begun the applications process for USAFA class of 2019. One of the questions I need to answer for my congressman on his nomination application asks what I plan to do in the military. I have considered several options, including piloting and military intelligence. So I have a couple...
