Here's a copy of an email originating from the Parents' Liaison with a time frame and some clarification on what will and will not be allowed: All this just in about Acceptance Day. The Acceptance Day plan is that the base will open on 2 August to the public so parents will be able to attend...

Like the others have responded, I don't believe so -- but not really sure. One piece of advice for BCT this summer, start running now -- and when you think you've run enough, run some more! DS said getting into "running shape" was the best thing he did prior to I-Day.

@2000124627 First off, congratulations on accepting your offer! You see on here all the time to be patient and wait for a possible offer of appointment. It is a marathon and not a sprint. Well, you are in a different situation - much like my DS. Luckily he received and accepted his offer of...

It is possible to receive Dual Enrollment credit at USAFA. DS received validation for an English course taken Dual Enrollment at a community college during his senior year of HS. Upon recommendations from his advisor, during DS's first semester C4C year he submitted transcripts from the...

Charlestonmom, thank you for your reply I appreciate it. Sorry I missed your response -- I typically don't get on here much over the weekends. DW is on Facebook and we have gotten a few pics and videos. They had a blast and really enjoyed the game and the trip. Might make today's GR's a little...

Same thing for DS two years ago, green checkmark and nothing further about CFA.

Anyone on here planning to attend the game - actually the AOG tailgate? Just got word that my DS and his drill team will be performing at the tailgate. Since we won't be making the trip, was hoping for a few pics or short videos. PM me if anyone is willing to snap a few shots. Thank you and...

@jaredc just a few quick notes in addition to what is already listed: Talk to your wrestling coach about being team captain - if you haven't already. Try to attend Boys State this coming summer. If Jared is your real name, talk to admin about changing your user name. And remember, if you...

@Rynokenny55, Last year DS received the body fat request from USAFA. It was a pretty basic form/process which required a medical professional to actually do the test and certify the results. As I remember, the directions were clear and a nurse was acceptable. We did not go to our Dr.'s office...

This may stray somewhat off OP's question, but IMHO it may be helpful to OP and lurkers as well. When speaking with many of the parents at our DS's awards program for Boys State, we realized that there is an often overlooked aspect to Boys State (BS) and Girls State (GS). The American Legion...

I believe the GPA listed on your portal is the refigured one. Behind the GPA you should see the following statement: (Your GPA listed may be refigured by USAFA and may not match the GPA reported by your school.) Which would explain why your GPA is different from reported--IF it was...

DS received an email notifying him that he had a new message from USAFA Admissions in his portal.

Requirements as posted on https://www.academyadmissions.com/admissions/outreach-programs/summer-seminar/ You will need the following information available to complete the application: Full legal name Mailing address/home phone/email address High school and junior class size Social Security...

Goose, from the Academy's outreach programs page (https://www.academyadmissions.com/admissions/outreach-programs/summer-seminar/ ) it is stated that selection is based on a "whole person concept". It also lists requirements to submit English, Math and Science grades. So from available...

DS took a state administered test in his HS in October and he says his scores have been posted in his portal. Not sure how long the scores have been posted, but he received his results from ACT two weeks ago. The test date was around the middle of the month.

DS's stats are very similar to all the other hopefuls on this site, some who have received LOA's and some who have not. A few of DS's stats that I think stand out are (in no particular order): Top 2% of class of 320 Eagle Scout with many palms National finalists for Samsung scholarship...

Congratulations usafamax!

DS also received an offer of appointment with a JROTC nomination. MOC nominations have not been released yet in our state. We were very surprised and excited -- made for a great Thanksgiving weekend! Also heard that a distant cousin by marriage had received an appointment as well. So there are...

There are a couple of engineers from Purdue in his family tree -- so there are definitely some biased opinions for sure!!
