admission

Hello all. I'm currently a sophomore in high school and during my first semester I learned about the service academies. I first learned about USAFA and was already set on going there to be a pilot (like everyone else lol). I then learned about the USNA and have always kinda had a draw to the...

Hey everyone, I took my CFA recently and think I did well on everything but the pushups. My proctor said it was my call if I wanted to submit my score but he recommended not sending it. What do you all think? My scores (I am a male) were: Pushups: 31, Basketball throw: 74'2", Pull-ups: 8...

Yesterday we took our CFA. Prior to this we had another one in December. The Defense Attache Office says that they will take the best out of the two and send in our scores. So far if I remember correctly, my scores were: Basketball Throw: 70 ft. Pull-Ups: 12 Shuttle Run: 8.3 seconds? Modified...

Hello, I received a LOA in the mail a couple weeks back for West Point. After my CFA video is received, assuming it passes, what is next? As long as I do good in school, don’t do anything stupid, and remain in qualified medical state, will I get a letter of appointment? Do all LOAs end up with...

I am a female in Dallas, TX applying to the class of 2027 for USNA. Here are my stats: - 3.87 Weighted GPA - 1320 SAT - AP Scholar with Distinction (5s on APUSH, APES, Lang, HUGO; 4s on Euro and Seminar) - Two internships (one with law firm, one with my Mayor) - Varsity swim and varsity water...

We just received an email saying "Congratulations. You have been selected to attend the United States Air Force Academy Class Appointee Event!..." But we have no official email or status update of an official appointment or acceptance in the Air Force Academy. Anyone else had this experience...

1. Is it alright if I haven't heard back yet? I know that they say that you will hear by April 15th, but I imagine if I was unqualified I would've already received a TWE. I'm new to this whole process so any insight into it is greatly appreciated. 2. Should I send them my midyear transcript if...

I'm a high school student who's a junior, and I was wondering if participating in sports is helpful for being accepted at the academy. Please let me know if this is the case. All help is appreciated

Good evening, today I started my application for USAFA. At the pre-candidate questionnaire it stated that you must be a US citizen to proceed. Previously, I thought that I just had to be a citizen prior to arriving at the academy. That being said, I can start my naturalization process October...

Does anyone have the exact numbers/percentages of applicants throughout the entire process. Starting with the pre-candidate questionnaire and ending with appointments.

I have 3 nominations to USAFA and I finished my application today except my Liaison Officer Interview that I cannot schedule (has to be done by the academy my ALO said) and my DODMeds (couldn’t be completed until my application was sent). I was wondering what time frame should I be looking at to...

I submitted my PCQ early, on 4/15, as soon as I received my ACT scores. I was supposed to take the SAT in early May, but then it was delayed to August, and now late September due to COVID-19 (I have not taken it previously as of yet). My initial USAFA application has been reviewed twice, on 4/17...

Rising senior; will be applying for VMI (my first choice) as well as other SMCs this year. I'm from Northern VA, D.C. suburbs. Here's the point: I've got a weighted GPA of 2.9 (2.5 unweighted) thanks to personal issues and a nasty case of teenage depression. I'm probably doomed, but I will not...

Hello all, I am a third-year community college student, still waiting to hear back from the Academy. I read somewhere that the admissions office reviews college students' applications last. Is that true? In addition, out of all the applicants, does the academy make sure to accept a certain...

How common is it for athletes to participate in a Varsity sport here without being recruited? Additionally, do coaches allow for "team managers" and allow for students to participate in practices and, even if they're not first string? Also, are there any cases where a person may not make the...

I am wondering if it is beneficial to my application if I can go visit now (and demonstrate showing an interest), or should I sit tight (and not miss school and take an expensive trip) and let the process play out. Thanks for any thoughts or advice!

Do you need everything on your portal overview to have green check marks next to them by the 31st or are the yellow arrows good as well? (I think yellow arrows mean sent in but not reviewed) Also does the DodMerb need to be completed by the 31st as well?

I am currently a sophomore at a high school with 850+ kids. I am in the top 10% of my class and have an unweighted GPA of 4.0 (weighted is about 4.65). I am currently enrolled in AP US and AP Lang and plan on taking at least 6 more AP classes. I play JV football and do winter and spring track...

I have most of my application finished (All I have to do is record my push-ups) and I keep reading on these forums about a field force representative interview. However, on the application portal, there is no space where it says field force interview, all the other categories have a red 'x' by...

When I went to the Naval Academy summer seminar I took a CFA and passed it. My naval academy application is finished and submitted. For my West Point Application I have the opportunity to request the CFA scores from the Naval Academy. Since I passed the CFA for the Naval Academy is that also a...
