Hi! I’m a current candidate for USAFA, and I figured I’d post a question on here. I’d ask my mentor ALO, but they never responded to me? So I have some basic questions I never really got answered. I’ve managed the whole application process well enough otherwise. My congressman said I was their...

Hey everyone, I’m a candidate from New Jersey’s 5th Congressional District (NJ-05), and I wanted to ask a few questions about the nomination timeline and how competitive this district typically is. I’ve already completed both of my interviews: Congressman Gottheimer’s panel Combined...

Hey everyone, I´m doing my USAFA checklist, and I ran into a problem with the Drug and Alcohol Abuse Questionnaire. When I first filled it out, I accidentally selected that I’ve never tried marijuana, but I actually have tried it before, and I planned to correct that answer before submitting...

I am working on my SRAR and was wondering how in depth the 12th grade coursework section needs to be. Obviously it won’t have grades or anything yet since I haven’t even started the year let alone finish it, but do I need to do anything besides just write down what I’m planning on taking? Like...

I accidentally added something twice on the extracurricular activities section. Is there anyway to remove one of them so there isn’t a duplicate? I don’t know if this is gonna mess up my application and I don’t want it to. Thank you!

I am applying to the NROTC program as well as the Naval and Air Force Academies, and all three of these (and nomination applications) require references from a math teacher. I feel that my AP Physics teacher would be able to provide a better reference than my calculus teacher, and he is...

I am trying to get everything in order early before USAFA summer seminar session A. Any advice on what I should bring extra of/shouldn't bring/should bring but isn't on the packing list? Much Appreciated. I could only find older discussions, so I wanted to ask in case of any updates.

Hey y'all, At the end of every semester, I post a thread just to get some feedback on where I am at and what I need to be doing better. I understand that no one can give me any accurate views of whether I will get in when I apply. This is just to get feedback on what I should be doing. By the...

Sadly I was TD today for USAFA. I wiped off my tears and now I'm determined to reapply again. I'm still waiting to hear back from USNA… but if I do get TD from the navy then my plan B is NMMI. I will do self prep,do ROTC, join CAP, join the army national guard and improve my whole profile for...

Starts a little after 5 mins But the whole segment is worth a watch Proud to be USAFA today! Okay back to the book by Hitler I found in the library

USAFA states they aim to release decision by April 21st. But that’s Easter Monday. Which is considered a holiday. And Good Friday tomorrow is also a holiday(or so I think. My school doesn’t have school on these days because I go to a catholic school) … do you think they will work on these days...

Morning, I’m applying to USAFA and USNA. I’m still waiting to hear back from them. In the mean while NMMI is my top back up choice. They recently gave me a scholarship for full tuition and board. ( I’m not sure if I need to pay anything else like a meal plan or uniforms???) If anyone from NMMI...

Hello everyone, I have recently been appointed to both USMA and USAFA in hopes of joining the medical field. I am aware that both are very competitive with their medical program/scholarship, with only about 2% (20 cadets) getting it each year, however it is something that I want to do. I want to...

Hello, I have received an LOA to USAFA, and I am just waiting on a DoDMERB waiver. I submitted my last requested AMI in December, and I have not heard anything from USAFA or DoDMERB. Tomorrow will be the 9-week mark since I turned in the last AMI. I emailed both USAFA Admissions and DoDMERB...

Hey y'all, once or twice a year, I post an update to just see how I am doing, what I need to be doing better, and what my chances are in general. I did one last semester and was not planning to do another for a while, but a lot changed so I decided to do one this semester. I DO KNOW THAT NO ONE...

Hey Y'all, I am a sophomore in High School (Class of 2027). I'm starting my application for USAFA, USNA, and USMA next year. However, it appears that my family is going to be moving states over the summer. Will this affect my chances? Also, what steps should I take when I arrive in the place I...

Hello! I am currently applying for USAFA, but I'm having some confusion about how nominations through a AFJROTC unit work. I have a few questions regarding AFJROTC nominations to the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA). Specifically: Does the AFJROTC unit need to currently be distinguished...

For some context, I am currently a candidate for USAFA for the class of 2029. I received both an LOA from USAFA and a nomination from one of my state's senators. I just received notice today that I was denied a medical waiver for syncope. The syncope in question was passing out after a cross...

Hi all, I've been a reader of the service academy forums for a while, but this is my first time posting. I currently have 2 nominations for USNA, and 1 for both USMA and USAFA. I am currently academically and physically qualified, but waiting on a waiver for my medical. I have had my exam...
