Hello FFS recipients and parents! I’m just wondering, now that everybody has had a little time to research and process and listen to the call yesterday, how many are going to accept their scholarship? Are there any other athletes out there trying to decide? This is my DD’s dilemma. She now has...

Thank you for that info! Did your son do a community college for the second semester? I am going to suggest DD gather a list of questions and schedule a call with the Durbecks...next week. Guessing they also help with retaking CFA, physical and ACT? I know this year she was completely finished...

My DD also got the call. Whew, what a roller coaster of emotions. DD has decided to just give herself a week off from all the research. Quite honestly, she is exhausted and right now the thought of starting the application process over is overwhelming. Her grades, athletics, leadership, CFA and...

Following! My DD left for school very excited. She has a lot of the same questions you do. I agree about looking forward but I do believe full understanding is important...because taking the scholarship does mean giving up other offers. I can’t wait to follow where all the FFS’s go! Maybe you...

Congrats!!! Are you going to accept the offer? My DD received a Falcon Foundation Scholarship today. Lots to process.

Our wait is over! Falcon Foundation Scholarship it is! Time to research!

Thank you so much. I just took a screenshot of your reply and sent to her. That is pretty much what my DH said this morning.

I know this has been covered here a lot, I read a whole thread about moving forward with plan B and if an appointment comes, jump ship (so to speak LOL). My DD has been accepted by 6 of her 7 plan B’s. #7 is dropping decisions next week. Here is her dilemma: Her second choice after USAFA had...

I completely agree with AROTC-dad! You should apply and give yourself options. You are the only one who can decide if you want to start from scratch halfway to your degree. You can’t go wrong either way. I personally think those who apply 2 and 3 times deserve tremendous amount of credit for...

Was the email from your team or someone else in Admissions. Just curious, what team color are you? I just asked my DD and she has not heard anything from them since December, and then they were replying to a question she asked. Does anyone know if they just randomly assign candidates to...

EXACTLY the same situation here with my DD. Her friends are selecting roommates and planning for sorority rush..she is looking at boots for BCT. 😂 She has had a good attitude but is just so ready for answers. I am so proud of the work she has put into this. Praying that she....no WE...don’t...

Thank you! Congrats again! 😄

Congrats on your golden ticket!! Curious, did you have any athletics or did you crush the CFA?

I just stumbled on to this (below) on the Academy Admissions page...what we were talking about above. Late Selections Some appointees do decline their appointment offers, and we select other qualified candidates to fill those vacancies. In such cases, we may not notify replacement candidates...

I am wondering if appointments are offered to the “next in line” if the person ahead in line declines. We live in a competitive district and are friends with a family whose DS was already been offered an appointment to two SA’s including USAFA. He has also been admitted to some ivies and MIT (so...

That came directly off the admissions page. I have only been on this forum for a few months and have loved the input from several members who are absolutely in the know. I appreciate those who take their time to answer (often redundant I’m sure) questions from newbies like me. Lately I have...

Also directly off of the site...here are the only required courses for each of the 4 years.

I have read stuff to the contrary. For example, this quote came directly off of the Academy Admissions page: Note: A solid foundation in algebra is more valuable than exposure to calculus.

Did someone in admissions tell you this or did you read this somewhere? Specifically those classes? I would imagine solid grades while earning dual enrollment credit would be a looked at favorably. I read a lot of posts here where people with no creds give advice based on pure speculation...
