    How Competitive?

    I will say, I did that calculator for fun and got 3% chance of being accepted. I recently graduated. Again... athletics, academics, leadership.

    CFA Fail Help!

    Nice improvements!!! Nearly a whole minute off the mile time. When are these due to submit? If you have a few weeks, I would suggest continuing to practice the CFA to get those scores even higher. You will continue to improve. If you are within a week of the due date, I would submit as you...

    If I drop my health class (half year) and have a W will that hurt my chances for admission

    You should 100% take the course. At the academy, you will be surrounded by people with upbringings opposite to yours. You have to learn to find the strengths in that, it seems like you are only seeing the downsides. At the end of the day, you have to put your opinions aside and do your job-...

    CFA Fail Help!

    Something that has helped me through any PT tests I've had to take (especially at USAFA), is making it a routine. Instead of JUST doing the PT test to practice, I would start my workouts with the test. I used it like a warmup. It became routine quickly, got easier within a week or two, and just...

    2024 Job Drops?

    Not to sidetrack the conversation, but I'm a USAFA grad with a PPL from years ago. Due to my PPL, I cannot go to IFT before UPT. I tried to send up a waiver, that got rejected because the AF doesn't want to waste resources on someone 'already prepared'. If I could, I would go to IFT in a...

    AP test and the USAFA

    Only take the one's you're certain you can do well on. In the 4-5 range. It would be worth the money to take one or two of them, but don't take all of them. Validation at USAFA isn't just you took the AP exam, but you have to excel at it too. If you don't think you'll get a 4-5 on any, save your...

    2024 Job Drops?

    Correct, I'll be clocking in at around 13 years minimum. I hope to have a career in so for me personally, that is fine. I'm at a base and trying to knockout a few masters classes. If I knew it would be until Dec 24 I would've taken grad school more seriously... but I am learning a lot where I...

    2024 Job Drops?

    I'm a 23 grad and projected to not start UPT until Dec 2024... unfortunately her class will be impacted the most by reducing slots. Maybe even 25 too but I personally suspect they won't be impacted as severely as 24. Good luck to your daughter!

    Chances of Getting into USAFA? (Female Prospect)

    There is. You will be briefed on resources more than anything, but if you go to the Chaplain or MFLAC they can counsel you with little/ zero impact on your career.

    Chances of Getting into USAFA? (Female Prospect)

    Really interesting data points. I'm glad you brought those up. I think the SAPR program at USAFA is great. Personally, I think the numbers might have gone up due to the SAPR program improving, and cadets felt more comfortable reporting. Therefore, it appears to be a significant increase in cases...

    Chances of Getting into USAFA? (Female Prospect)

    I'm going to say the opposite of what has been being echoed above. You sound like a very similar candidate that I was, and I recently graduated from USAFA. Sure, apply for the other service academies if you want. But I put ALL my eggs in one basket with applying to USAFA because I knew I wanted...

    Advice for take 2

    Both. There are limited slots specifically for enlisted, and just from what I've heard from friends, it is harder to get into USAFA while already serving than it is if you were straight from high school. It's not impossible at all and I don't want to discourage you, but it does SEEM to be more...

    25% of my class went to grad school. All have assignments. The 500 is for those going pilot. The rest are non-rated, aka nearly anything except pilot.

    Graduation Fact Sheet: c/o 2023

    COVID was tough for the class. Many left after the few months while at home. A lot went through the honor violation process after that year due to Chegg and other online resources. Some were kicked out, some left voluntarily after that. Expect Class of 24 to be similar, as their freshman year...

    Advice for take 2

    Not a prior-E cadet, but most of my friends are. Getting into USAFA while being a prior is difficult. I echo those above me, your leadership HAS to know your intentions to come here. Expect to have to go to the prep school first, then going to USAFA. Sounds tedious, but a lot of my prior E...

    Dry cleaning and Laundry

    It is "included"- i.e. comes out of their paycheck. They should know how to use Goodwill for that and if they don't, ask someone in their squadron about it. If they really need to do their own laundry they must ask permission from their squadron commander but they are not entitled to the laundry...
