    What was your ACT?

    If I understand correctly, you're just wanting an idea of how you stand competitively. I scored a 29 on the ACT twice. I definitely recommend taking it two times to try to improve the score. Nonetheless, I know people here who have gotten lower in the ACT (I think 26 or so is the lowest that...

    I did not bring boots with me to basic. Different years have very different experiences with the boot situation. I got a pair before basic, ran in them, and just got used to the feel a bit. Then, following basic, I had them shipped out here and enjoyed the lighter pair. I'd say it's about 50/50...

    Personally, I think the two greatest benefits of CAP were drill and ceremonies and the application process. Drill and ceremonies is pretty self-explanatory. Knowing the basics of marching, customs, and courtesies pays off at the beginning of basic. Everyone gets to the same level very quickly...

    I actually had my birthday during BCT as well. My suggestion is that you keep it quiet. While your cadre will have paperwork that says your birthday on it, you could possibly slip by.

    2020er from USAFA here. At the academy there are tons of people who got in on their second or third application. In fact, my squad comm took a 3 year journey before getting here. Nonetheless, he is one of the most admirable cadets here and clearly shows the benefits of unlimited dedication and...

    High School Senior Courses

    I definitely recommend taking pre-Calc. I have a friend here (USAFA- different but comparable) who never took anything Calc based before and failed it here because of lack of experience. If you don't have pre-Calc from high school you'll have to skip straight past it. That's a big jump from...
