Historically, the majority of Falcon Foundation scholarship recipients have attended NWP; last year 40 of the 66 recipients went there. So even if what Momofteens posted is indeed factual (just to be clear, I am not personally endorsing that speculation), then it would make sense from a...

If his portal still says "candidate," then there's still a chance he may get a Superintendent or VP nomination. Where did he go to prep school? From all indications, do you think he received a strong letter of rec from the prep school?

Concerning your first question...I know someone who got a call in July of last year with a Falcon Foundation scholarship offer so it could happen. (They gave him 24 hours to respond.) Suspect it will depend on the acceptance rate and subsequent trickle down effect. Good luck!

Our DS also selected NWP. What state are you from? We live in Colorado.

DS also received a Falcon Foundation Scholarship offer this morning and has 1 week to decide. He also has a 4 year AFROTC scholarship to consider (and a USMA appointment which he has decided to decline). After mourning the loss of a direct entry appointment for a few hours, I think he will take...

My DS got offered a Falcon Foundation Scholarship this morning and has 1 week to pick his school. Would greatly appreciate your input on the following choices: Georgia Military College Marion Military Institute New Mexico Military Institute Northwestern Prep Randolph-Macon Academy Seems to be a...

My DS got an email from his ALO yesterday stating USAFA informed him (the ALO) that the remaining candidates would know their status by April 30th. So the tortuous wait continues...:(

We are in the exact same boat. DS received two nominations (USAFA and USMA) followed by a USMA appointment back in January. In his case, his first choice is USAFA and he is unsure if his second choice is USMA or an AFROTC scholarship since he really wants to fly (fixed-wing, he thinks). He's...

When you get a chance, please let me know what USMA advertises as their average. I am just going by what we read on Prepscholar, Princeton Review, Niche and CollegeData. Thank you!

Agree, but there is typically some correlation. My real question is why USMA's ACT scores would be so much lower than USNA's and USAFA's posted ACT scores. DrMom's response addressed at least part of that with the inclusion of the prep school appointees' scores.

DrMom, thanks for sharing your insight. I had seen the USAFA class profile but didn't notice the "fine print." I assume excluding the prep school class raises the average ACT several points.

My DS has an appointment to USMA and is getting close to accepting it. My question is to anyone who might have some insight/data on this issue. Why is the average ACT score at USMA (25) significantly lower than the average ACT score at USAFA (30) or USNA (31)? USMA has a rather low acceptance...

18) USAFA_grad/DS/No LOA/16-Jan-19/Undecided/CO/Congressional/Direct Appointment The only reason he is undecided is because he has a nomination for USAFA and that's his first choice since he thinks he wants to fly fixed wing aircraft. We'll see what happens....

Hi. Concerning the SLE packing list, do the attendees pack bed linens for a standard twin size bed or is it twin XL? Anyone know? My son is attending session 1. Thank you!
