    I would like to start the process... but still "Under DoDMERB review"?

    I would really like to start the process of medical tests but I am still just waiting to hear from DoDMERB. USAFA says they will submit your information to DoDMERB once you have completed three of the application tasks, which they did. My DoDMERB account says "Date to Contractor" on October 5...

    A couple questions about formalities at the interview.

    So I have my MOC interview on Monday and I was hoping I could get a few questions answered. Thanks in advance! :smile: 1) If it is a board of maybe 5-8 people is it appropriate to shake all of the hands? At the start, end, or both? I would usually shake hands, introduce self, thank etc at a...

    Nomination Essay: How do I refer to the school?

    My top choice for academies is USMA and second is USAFA. Now I am writing one of my essays for a nomination and it seems awkward to keep saying that I want to go to "one of the service academies, this is what I like about the service academies, and if I went to a service academy", etc. It seems...

    Candidate Activities Record.

    I am having a little confusion wit the Candidate Activities Record, specifically the Resumer section. What they ask for in each section could be redundant if you think about it the way I do. Under "academic accomplishments" do we list academic awards or would those go under the "award section."...

    Submitting a photo- which one?

    For my MOC I need to send a 2x3 photo of myself. I am not sure how much importance they place on this or why, but I am trying to decide which photo to print and send. Should it be a formal one- me in graduation gap and gown with valedictorian medal? The thing is that that just feels so "stiff"...

    Can I get nominated to 2 academies?

    I understand that in competitive states (I live in one) the MOC will "talk" to ensure that an applicant does not get nominated twice. Does this refer just to the same academy or just one nomination overall. I know I cant get two to USAFA for example, but does living in a competitive state also...

    Letter to Request Nomination Application

    One of my senators requires that you first send a letter requesting the application packet (as opposed to my other sources which have it available online.) I think I remember seeing a format for this somewhere but I cant find it now. Should I say anything besides my address, email, and the other...

    College facts/ statistics

    My school makes all rising seniors prepare a college packet including worksheets on our top two schools. One of my choices is USMA and there are a few obscure questions in this packet that I was hoping someone might know the answer to. -How big is the library? -Do they have tutoring...

    What are some essay questions?

    My high school gives rising seniors a big college packet to complete over the summer. One of the parts is to find an essay question for one of your top college choices and write the essay. I am not applying to USAFA this year but rather next year because of age so I dont know what the essay...

    Sports predicament... what would be best for application?

    I know that I have good enough academics and leadership to be competitive so physical is the one area I am worried about. I am working very hard to get the CFA scores to where they need to be but I am wondering what to do for sports. I go to a small school so I can play any sports with out...

    Looking for some statistics for a college packet

    My school makes all rising seniors (even those of us who are way ahead of the game) prepare a simple type college packet with worksheets on our top two schools. My number one choice is USAFA and there are a few obscure questions in this packet that I was hoping someone might know the answer to...

    R-day Rehearsal 6/24

    Hi, I signed my mom and myself up for the rday rehearsal on June 24. We also told some friends about it and when they went to sign up they thought they needed to print some kind of confirmation at the end. Now I do not remember seeing this but it does make sense that there should be some kind of...

    What if I am studying abroad?

    I am too young to enter the academy the year I graduate so I am hoping to spend the year studying abroad with the National Security Language Initiative (a scholarship from the Department of State). I believe the nomination is the one step of this application process which would cause difficulty...

    Can I get more info from anyone who has attended R-day Rehearsal?

    I know this seems very far in advance but I have other events around that same time and my mother is just the type of person to plan ahead. I was hoping to get information from anyone who has attended the R-day rehearsal (practice day with civilians.) I believe it is on July 24 this year and I...

    Age Requirement Dilema

    The academies require a cadet to be 17 by July 1 of the year they start but I will graduate high school at 16 and will not be 17 until August of that year. So I guess the problem is that I would be a month and a half to young for the academy. Now would they make an exception (I am guessing not)...
