Hello all, I am currently applying to both the USMA and USAFA for class of 2026. I am currently interested in a career in the medical field. As of right now, I am trying to find the best option between USAFA and USMA in terms of chances of being able to enter Medical School right out of the...

Are the 40 Squadrons really all equal (mixed with all majors, interests, and more or less randomly assigned) or are they specialized somehow? For example, is there an engineering or soccer heavy squadron? Also, is it true that you will be assigned a Squadron before Inprocessing Day? How do...

The offices of Senator Rob Portman and Senator Sherrod Brown will be co-hosting four informational nights regarding the service academy application process. Due to COVID-19, the seminars will be held virtual this year. We are offering four dates, April 20th, April 27th, April 29th, and May 6th...

This is a simple question, but my DD wants to clarify. M-days are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, meaning you have M-day classes three times a week. T-days are Tuesdays and Thursdays, meaning you have T-day classes twice a week. I know some classes are not on this exact schedule, but is this the...

Hello! I was hoping to get some information on the specific details in becoming a pilot physician. I just started my application to USAFA'26 in hopes of admissions and graduating with a bachelor's in Biology then going off to medical school. When I finish I would like to go to pilot training...

Hello all! I have been accepted to USAFA for class of '25, and have not yet heard from Navy. However, I am trying to prepare myself for the possibility that I might have to make a very difficult decision in the next few weeks if I'm also accepted to USNA. I wanted to get some experienced...

Hello all, I am a current 4/C MIDN at Virginia Tech. I was in the college program until yesterday, I was just awarded a 4 year National Scholarship (thankfully). Paying for college out of pocket was getting very old. As I search through these forums, I see a lot of stress about GPA and SAT...

Hello, I am applying to USNA and USAFA, and I was medically disqualified by DODMERB and will need a waiver. On the DODMERB site, it says under waiver review for both. I have heard conflicting information about the waiver process. Does each SA only process waivers if the candidate is determined...

Good Evening, I have been consuming a lot of this forum, but I decided it was about time I posted a question myself. So I've received a Nomination to USAFA from a particularly hard district (700+ Applicants in CO-01), and been served a Medical Disqualification. I have noticed many people of...

Hello, I am writing this post because I am in desperate need of advice. As I was applying to USAFA, I filled out the Form 2030 and falsified information. I did this out of ignorance and didn’t even consider the consequences. I understand that lying is not tolerated at USAFA and take full...

I was told that there were a couple of remedial exams that I had to go to, but I've been having a lot of issues scheduling them. One provider still has not received my referral, and another assigned provider for a different condition does not exist (provided address doesn't lead to listed...

Hey there! I am currently a high school junior who is in the application process for the academy and it is my dream to work for a federal law enforcement agency (FBI, DEA, ATF, etc.) in the future. After watching just about every youtube video and reading every article on all the military...

Good morning everybody! I have been fortunate enough to receive an opportunity to play football at USMMA, but before that was even a possibility I was set on attending USNA or USAFA. Of course I would love to continue playing football, but I know that it does not last forever and I that is why I...

Hello everyone! I was recently granted a waiver to USAFA! I'm very excited but after reading the notification letter I was a little worried. Questions: 1) Even though I was waived to attend USAFA will I not be considered for a pilot or special operations career field because I was not...

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...

Hi all, I am a current candidate for USNA and USAFA c/o 25. Both applications are completed (but working through a medical DQ), all nominations applied for, and I have so far received a nomination from my MOC to USNA (my first choice), JROTC to USNA, and Presidential to USAFA. My AFJROTC...

Does receiving 2 noms vs 1 make a big impact on your chance of acceptance?

Hello, I’m currently a candidate for USAFA ‘25 and am curious what the forums think of my odds of being appointed. I understand there’s no crystal clear cut way to determine odds but I figured I’d post this and see what you have to say. Below are my stats: GPA: 4.3W (multiple honors and...

For example: Army reserve soldier gets appointed to USMA and USAFA SMP cadet gets appointed to USMA, USCGA and USNA An enlisted U.S. Army soldier gets appointed to USNA and USMA Is it looked down upon if, for example, you are Guardsman that is interested in several service academies? I'll...

Hello all, This evening I visited the USAFA application homepage and I was surprised to find that the portal listed my nomination as "received". This was puzzling since all of my congressional boards had told me they would not be notifying until late December regarding their decisions. I did...
