AIM Decisions Released

[MJ2020]

I want to echo the comments of all the people above who said don't get disheartened. DD was waitlisted for AIM last year. We were really soured by it and considered it the end of the road for us. Several people explained the vast disparity between slots and qualified applicants, like Auxnoob above, and encourage her to go to CFAD. She did, and it cemented CGA as her first choice. She applied EA and was accepted in late November just before Thanksgiving. Moral of the story, being waitlisted for AIM doesn't mean you aren't a strong candidate for admission. Focus on what you can control/improve, and keep working through the process. A little over 6 months from now you may find yourself being thankful for a CGA appointment while you enjoy that turkey and stuffing meal.

What is CFAD?

I think Cadet For a Day.

DS # 2, NASS session 1, SLE session 2, initially waitlisted for AFSS but given a spot in week 1. That conflicted with SLE so he's not going. But we have been there a lot and will be there in 3 weeks for big sisters graduation . While there big brother will give him another tour. Also waitlisted for AIM, is really hoping to get a spot.
Stats, 690V 790M, 33 ACT, NHS VP, year-round part-time job, two sport athlete, just to hit the high points.

DS2 NASS1, SLE2 (hope they meet up) we are from Fl. AIM1 DS#1 will be AIM cadre!

I hope so too. Mine will be flying in for NASS then taking the train to NY. I have family there and they will get him to SLE. When his older brother did this two years ago he did SLE then NASS and there were several that were traveling between the two and they seemed to find each other.

2yrs ago, where your DS#1 going to college? My DS#1 did this too 2yrs ago. He is wrapping his sophomore year at CGA now.

Yours probably did this three years ago if he's class of 2020 Mine is class of 2021 at USAFA. And my oldest (DD) is class of 2018 at USAFA....only 20 days til graduation, not that we're counting or anything
