    AP Scores- does USAFA care?

    Admissions will never see those scores. I believe they only go to the Registrars Office.

    Falcon Scholarship, What is the full meaning?

    I never challenged your DD's qualifications. In fact, I applaud your DD for the work she put in to get where she is, as all the other Falcons and I know this is no easy scholarship to get. My original post on the matter indicated that her reception of both an NROTC scholarship and Falcon...

    Falcon Scholarship, What is the full meaning?

    When we asked LT. Gen. Kelley about those few cadets who did not receive their appointments from years past, grades and behavioral problems were the two reasons he gave. I've watched more than enough cadets have appointments stripped away from them because of behavioral problems, both sponsored...

    Would you say 12 pairs was just the right amount to bring?

    BCT Physical Preparation

    There's a section inside your "Instructions to Appointees" document that tells you what you're workouts should look like. It even has an 8 week running program to follow!

    Falcon Scholarship, What is the full meaning?

    Marion also has a flight program called flying tigers. Several of the current falcons are involved!

    Which USAFA Affiliated Prep School?

    With all do respect, LT. General Kelley, The President of the Falcon Foundation, told us directly that we should strongly consider USAFA since they had gone out of their way to prepare us. However, he indicated that should we decided that USAFA was not for us, we would simply be responsible for...

    Falcon Scholarship, What is the full meaning?

    The Falcon Foundations acceptance rate is extremely high. Yes, there is a risk you wont get in, but it is only if you really screw up. To receive the NROTC scholarship your daughter must have been really exceptional, which to me would indicate she wouldn't have academic or behavioral problems...

    Which USAFA Affiliated Prep School?

    Yes, you can apply to other academies. I wouldn't say it's encouraged or very common, but there's nothing stopping you. Per the contract with the Falcon Foundation, should you decide not to in-process to the academy and take your oath, you are responsible for repaying the Falcon Foundation in...

    Prep School

    If the academy is what you want, take the FF Scholarship. As long as you don't screw up academically or have discipline trouble, you'll have your appointment for the C/O '22 in hand by March. I think my prep year at MMI has better prepared me for the Academy, both academically and mentally. I...

    Which USAFA Affiliated Prep School?

    With the Falcon Foundation, you have a golden ticket to the academy. Abide by your contract, stay out of trouble and any of the schools will get you your appointment. What you need to ask yourself now is, "what type of prep year do I want?"

    Boot Info

    I did some digging in some older threads, and it would appear that a large number of people said bringing your own boots wasn't a good idea (at least in years past). Most of the posts in the thread said it was up to cadre if you could or could not wear them and in reality breaking in the boots...

    Got my Falcon Scholarship. Now what?

    I am currently a Falcon at Marion Military Institute in Alabama with nine other Falcons. If you have any questions, I would be more than willing to answer your questions about MMI or the Falcon Foundation in general!

    How did you find out?

    If I'm not mistaken, the portals tend to update at around 5 AM EST with an email following soon there after. You'll receive an email from admissions whenever a new document is added to your inbox.

    Appointment Package

    They don't send the BFE's (Big Fat Envelopes) any more. It's all electronic now. It would appear that the electronic "package" should be hitting the portals soon as it normally seems to happen in early to mid March.

    USAFA Class of 2021 Appointments

    I am a current Falcon at MMI that received an appointment. I put falcon foundation in the LOA/ no LOA portion since it seemed appropriate for my circumstance with the academy.

    Falcon Scholarships

    I graduated high school with a 3.6 unweighted GPA in a very competitive college-prep high school with a history of high acceptance rates to the academy. My high school sent three direct to the academies (2 USAFA, 1 USMA), two to USAFAPS, and one Falcon (me) out of my graduating class of just 210...
