ACT Deadline

[kneespace]

I hope everyone is having a great holiday season.

I was wondering if anyone knew if admissions for USAFA will be taking ACT scores for the upcoming test in February. I know that the deadline for official test scores is February 15 but a lot of people haven't had the opportunity to test this year.

There's no deadline "update" as of yet other than what has been published in the past or is in your candidate handbook.

ALO's were told: "Starting January 11, 2021, USAFA Admissions will begin closing files for candidates who are two weeks or more past their deadline and do not have all items complete (with the exception of the DoDMERB exam, standardized test scores, and interview) unless there is documentation in their file that there are mitigating circumstances. Students should consult their portal for their deadline. Students having difficulty completing items due to COVID-19 school closures or other mitigating circumstances MUST CONTACT THEIR COUNSELING TEAM."

Keep in touch with your ALO, watch your portal DAILY, and keep pressing ahead!!

Hello, does this also mean I will have to provide documentation proof of no recorded standardized scores, or does that mean it is exempted for now. p.s.- I will be taking the February ACT at a secure location.

Read it again...Starting January 11, 2021, USAFA Admissions will begin closing files for candidates who are two weeks or more past their deadline and do not have all items complete (with the exception of the DoDMERB exam, standardized test scores, and interview)...

So no, you should not have to show anything. They're speaking of things like a class schedule, school demographics, letters of recommendation, etc.
