Candidate status

[WingsUp]

I was wanting to clarify what candidate status means. If my status is listed as candidate does that mean that I am at least minimally qualified to compete for acceptance to USAFA?

Candidate status means USAFA has deemed you eligible to compete for a direct entry appointment, the prep school, or a Falcon Foundation scholarship.

You can, however, be considered a candidate without yet having a nomination.

Does "Candidate" status also mean you're 3Q qualified?

Does "Candidate" status also mean you're 3Q qualified?

No. Candidate status is determined without reference to DODMERB evaluation, for example.
