DD got Falcon Foundation scholarship offer today.
My last roommate ay USAFA attended Texas A&M as part of their Corps before getting the chance to attend USAFA the following year. That was like completing two consecutive "Doolie" years. He did well at USAFA.The BFE came from USMA today for our DD in the mail but she had declined the offer earlier this week as she is waiting for USAFA. It was a little gut wrenching for us to see yet she will go to a civilian university if she doesn’t make the cut. A co-worker told me a classmate of hers found out he got into USAFA on May 24th and graduated tops in his class there. We are holding out hope.
24 May? That’s ridiculous, I can’t imagine what that wait must have been. Good luck to your DD!!!!Our DD got the notification today she did not get into the Class of 2026. Looks like it will be a civilian university and then reapply next year.

You haven’t been lurking in the USNA ‘26 waitlist thread? My DD is still in limbo there. The wait is brutal. Could be another month even.24 May? That’s ridiculous, I can’t imagine what that wait must have been. Good luck to your DD!!!!
They told her there was no wait list at USAFA yet we hear every year how candidates are chosen late so we aren’t sure where they are chosen from if there is no wait list?24 May? That’s ridiculous, I can’t imagine what that wait must have been. Good luck to your DD!!!!

A list often “implies” a ranking. 1 thru 100. And with a ranking the next one on the list would normally be the next one to get an appointmeant.They told her there was no wait list at USAFA yet we hear every year how candidates are chosen late so we aren’t sure where they are chosen from if there is no wait list?
Wow! Congrats! I can't even imagine waiting so long! Be prepared to buckle down and get busy on the appointee kit come June 1st! DS just submitted his yesterday, after working on it for 2 months, granted he was still in school and playing sports for much of that time. I would go ahead and get appointments for any immunizations she might need. The polio was difficult for us to find. DS also needed a tetanus booster, flu shot, and meningitis. As soon as you receive and accept the official appointment in the portal, I highly recommend joining the parents of 2026 Facebook group. It's a wealth of information coming directly from the parent liason. Best of luck to you all!On Monday, our daughter found out verbally she received a direct entry, but was told her portal will not change until June 1st.
Thank you! We just got home from receiving all of her vaccines!Wow! Congrats! I can't even imagine waiting so long! Be prepared to buckle down and get busy on the appointee kit come June 1st!
