I've been interested in applying at USAFA, but I don't play any sports other than my school's rifle team (I have lettered in rifle). I just don't have the time to join another sport. Being appointed would be absolutely amazing, and I'm wondering if I can make up for this with my CFA scores...

Hello guys, In my essays should I reinforce the activities on my resume to further explain why I chose about those activities and what I gained from them OR are the essays to reveal a new part of one’s self/life that is not known anywhere else on the application? Thank you.

Good afternoon all, I go to a high school with ~300+ students in each grade level.

I was recently diagnosed with PTSD from a school shooting. I am on Xanax and Trazadone due to it. Would these factors harm me in the admission process?

I had went to USAFAPS last year and I withdrew a month before graduation. USAFA had been my dream since I was 15 and I had applied 3 times before I finally got an appointment to the prep.

I posted about this same dilemma about a year ago, and I have to start with a summary before I get down to the questions. Attending any of the academies was the only thing that I wanted to do the entirety of high school. I had a very competitive application built up, but ended up moving high...
