Hello, I applied for the USAFA Summer Seminar on January 5th. I am checking my status on the AF Academy portal, and it remains as "application - submitted" since then. I was wondering if there is anything else I would need to do or that you suggest. Also, I received an email linked to...

My boyfriend, who I've been in a serious relationship with for a few years, just left for BCT today. I'm not worried in the slightest and we've talked and prepared for this for quite a while, but I wanted to see if anyone had any advice for the next four years in maintaining a long distance...

Hey I would really love some constructive criticism on my essay. I don't know if i should add more about my challenges or not. I really want to go to the USAFA Summer Seminar to see if USAFA is the right fit for me or not, im on the edge. Please discuss any personal life experience where you...

Hey guys, I have wanted to go to USAFA since I was a kid. My mom came to the US as a Chinese immigrant, and got her MBA in Business. We've worked really hard, and I want to give back to the United States while also following my passion. My dad was in the Air Force for over 20 years, and I too...

I submitted my candidate kit only to be greeted by the checklist... I know that the CFA is due by the application deadline because that's what the application instructions packet stated. Moreover, most of the transcripts and recommendations don't have to be submitted until two weeks after your...

Hello everyone! I am currently a sophomore in high school and I was wondering if anyone had insight on how I can improve. I did not have a good freshman year at all, barely passed (COVID hit me like a truck), so I'm trying to rebuild. Academically, I maintain a 3.8-3.9 GPA, I take three honors...

Hello, I am currently a candidate for 2026 USAFA applications, and I just submitted my Candidate Kit today (10/16). However, my checklist still has quite a few things on it, and I am not sure if I can complete them by my deadline of November 1st. The main ones that I am concerned about are my...

Hey guys! I'm just curious as to how being a college student effects my USAFA application? Or if there is anything I can expect during the completion of my application? I know that the candidate packet states that my college transcript will be evaluated more heavily as it can show how well I do...

I'm honored and truly blessed to be in the current "dilemma" that I am in. Last week I got into Naval Academy Prep. I also got into USMA and now I've also received an appointment to USAFA. I love all three academies and am most in love with USAFA and USMA. I want to pursue a career in aviation...

hi, im a junior right now in high school and I have wanted to go to USAFA for a long time already. I just finished my first semester with a 3.5 which seems a bit weak looking at the standards on the webpage. My fresh sophomore years however were worse as I didn't apply myself. Trying my best...

Hello! I'm a prospective USAFA cadet. In the end, I want to be commissioned as an officer in the Air Force. Ideally, I'd love to be admitted to USAFA. I love the camaraderie and tradition that USAFA brings, but honestly, I haven't been where I need to mentally lately. Last year I moved to a new...

This is not a typical situation so I am asking for guidance from anyone who may have experienced something similar or knows someone who did. Up until the end of my junior year of high school I planned on applying to USMA. That being said, I applied for all summer seminar programs at the 3 major...

Hey guys. I have a bunch of questions about the military that I haven't been able to find solid answers on. My brother is going to (hopefully) become a Marine this fall and he has inspired me to join the military, as well as my grandfather's service as a Green Beret. I'm now in 10th grade of...

Hello, I am currently a second year applicant to USAFA. I have a few questions regarding engineering majors at the Academy and the time constraints that come with them. Such as how an engineering major might restrict a cadet from participating in other activities at the academy. If am I...
