Service academies are free of charge.

You do not need to be in touch with recruiters if you do not want to enlist. It's your career. If you want to become an officer and set yourself up for a great career, then do it. Don't let what your recruiter says sway your decision. Politely decline, and be on your way.

Northwestern Preparatory School in San Bernadino, CA is a great option for USAFA prepsters. 15 of 18 free agent students got appointments this year.

Thank you for giving genuine recommendations.

Hello, I am looking to earn admission to USNA (as well as USAFA and USMMA as secondary options) for c/o 2029 after my Turn Downs this cycle. I am unable to afford attendance at a 4-year university this year, so I am looking into attending a preparatory college as a self-prep. I have: 3.7UW GPA...

Hello, I am considering attending Northwestern Prep next semester. I was rejected from both USAFA and USNA this cycle and was not offered a FFS or a USNA foundation scholarship. My ALO/BGO's insist that I was a highly qualified candidate but simply did not make the cut. The $14k cost of the 6...

TD CA-32

Still without a decision this morning. Just got rejected from USAFA. This is the last decision I'm praying on!o_O

How did you receive a TD? Through portal or email? You seem to be the first on this forum that has gotten an official turn down from USAFA (to my knowledge).

I'm in the exact same boat as your DS. Wishing you luck.

I got a TWE email this year from USNA, but the actual thin white envelope in the mail does not exist anymore.

If I were to participate in NROTC at my local community college for a year or two, which is a crosstown with UCLA, would I have to transfer to UCLA after CC to continue my NROTC route OR could I continue it with a different school/different unit? Also, if I were to transfer to UCLA, does being...

If that is the case then it sounds like your issue may be more significant than a missing status. I would definitely contact your NROTC application coordinator.

Thank you for the answer. I am interested in CW Engineer, and Crypto-Warfare for the Navy. I am also becoming interested in the general role of SWO on ships/submarines, which I would have to serve in for a certain amount of time before having the chance to transfer. I think that the Navy is a...

Navy ROTC will most likely be the route I will take to commission. If you get good grades, are in good standing in your unit, and crush the PFT, are you highly likely to be selected for a spot to commission?

Where did you find these stats on last year's scholarships? I'm not questioning your credibility, it's just that this seems to be contradictory to what most are saying. I really hope it's true though!

The only answer is that it is worth it if you really want to go to USAFA. There are many other ways of commissioning as an Officer in the AF and USAFA is only one of them. If graduating from USAFA is something you really care about then it is 100% worth it. If your sole goal is to commission...

The SSN/Birthday login system should still work. It is linked on the login page for Netfocus. Try to use it again because it is the only current way to see your status.

Same message for me.

I had a UW 3.7 and Weighted 3.96 with a 1380 SAT and was not awarded a scholarship.
