Hello! This is my first post on this website! 😁I am applying to USNA for the class of 2030. This school is my top choice and I recently attended NASS which truly was the best experience of my life and I would say sealed the deal for me. My academics are pretty strong; as a homeschooler, I dual...

Now that I've been through the entire applicant process as a HS applicant, becoming a foundation scholar set to attend with the class of 2030 at USNA, I thought of giving out some handy tips and tricks for my soon-to-be fellow midshipmen entering with me next summer and future candidates. These...

My DS took the CFA at the SLE, and the status on his portal has changed to ‘Received’. Does this mean he has passed, or is it still pending until he receives a decision letter?

I’m going to SLE session 2 and we have to take the CFA on the first day there. Someone said that the CFA score I earn at SLE will go into my candidate profile and that I’d have two months to retake it if I don’t do well. Is this true? Before SLE I expected to take my CFA around...

My son completed most things except CFA. He got the results as below, but got an email that his CFA is not standard. Based on the email, his CFA results are above average except pull-ups. Do you know what's the minimum counts of pull-ups? Basket ball throw: 73, 74, 79 Pull ups: 3 Shuttle Run: 8...

DS is a junior and where we live the extreme heat could influence the outcome of his scores. Can he take the CFA at the end of April even though official application doesn’t open until July? He will also apply to USNA and he already has a qualified evaluator.

I'm in the process of submitting my CFA to USAFA, and while I'm (somewhat) confident I should get qualified for USAFA, I don't know if USNA's standards are different. Would anyone know if these are passing? I have my MOC Interview this weekend, and I would like to let them know that I have...

My CFA in the USAFA portal still reads 'received' after one month. I'm worried it may have something to do with my scores. My sit-up score is particularly low. This was because I started early and those reps didn't count, but JROTC instructor (who administered my test) said that I'd be fine. Do...

Took my second CFA attempt today, heres the scores: Pushups: 28 Modified Crunches: 88 Basketball Throw: 42 feet Shuttle Run: 9.3 seconds Mile Run: 7:22 (min and sec) Pullups: 12 Purely looking at this, how does it look? I know if you fail one event you fail the whole thing, and they don’t...

I've completed my application and I want to get it submitted. Would it be possible to change my CFA Administrator in the portal if I need to change it later down the road? (I haven't taken the CFA yet).

I am trying to find the sheet that I can print out to give my CFA Examiner for USAFA, but I can not find it. The CFA section of the candidate packet states that you should "Give your examiner the CFA Score Sheet you printed from your online status page and ask them to record your performance on...

I am hoping to be admitted into USMA for the class of 2029, and I am worried about the CFA. I am hoping for some tips, feedback, and advice. I will upload my scores here daily (hopefully). 27 OCT 24 Basketball Throw - 44 Ft Pull-Ups - 9 Shuttle Run - 9.82 Situps - 91 Push-Ups - 52 Mile Run...

Hey y'all! This might be a dumb question but I figured I'd ask anyways. I am in the process of applying for my nomination, but my Congressman requires a completed and signed CFA as part of the application. I am in a very noncompetitive district, however I'm assuming I won't do the best on my...

I received a LOA in August to USMA. I injured my shoulder lifting weights in late July and I've been recovering up until now. I took an X-ray, passed DODMERB, and have it in writing that this injury did not tear any muscles but it would still take 1-2 months to recover from. Since then, I...

Hi all, I took the CFA on Saturday and scored the following, which is a significant improvement from my previous CFA(did not submit to USAFA but was a pass at USNA): 42 feet basketball throw 10 pull-ups 9.1s Shuttle run 65 crunches 75 pushups 7:23 mile My shuttle run was done on grass. I...

Hi! So I am starting to become stressed that my current stats are not good enough at all. I am an IB diploma program student, with a 4.9 weight and 3.98 unweighted GPA. I have over 100 volunteer hours, Swim Team Captain (I was voted in by my whole swim team after just moving across the state)...

I’m going to take my CFA in about two weeks but have some questions about the pull up video. Does it have to be the entire two minutes? I can do about 10 with perfect form (trying to get up to 12 for the CFA) but it takes me about 40 seconds. My grip gives out right after so I was wondering if...

I took the CFA a while ago at NASS, and I am wondering if it would be worth it to retake it. I have very good academic stats. I know I will not max the CFA; therefore, I don't know if it would be worth the extra time to try to slightly improve these scores and retake it. Any advice is greatly...

Hi! Took the CFA at USMA's SLE and failed it pretty bad because I was sick at the time (I couldn't even do one pull up). I retook it yesterday and submitted the scores and I haven't heard anything back yet. Just wanted to know if these were passing, thank you! Pushups: 28 Modified Crunches: 62...

I took the CFA at NASS (didn't get into AFASS) and presumably passed, but think I might be able to do better. I know that I can have USNA send my scores to USAFA, but I am also able to submit another second score for USNA. Does anyone know if I get to choose which CFA score USNA sends to USAFA...
