Class of 2015 Application

I got into the seminar so I already have the PCQ filled out... when do they start sending the packets (assuming I get one) so we can start the forms etc.
 
The online app opens up in late June (they don't do any of the app on paper). The best things that you can do until then is to prepare for the CFA (seriously, start working out yesterday), go ahead and pick the teachers and any other people that will be writing letters for you and tell them early. Also, right about now would be a good time to get in contact with your ALO (if you haven't already).

Later,

And start working on your Congressional Nomination packets!!!--!!!. Added those for emphasis. I got my Representative's packet in January of my Junior year, and I really wish that I had worked on it, because it laid around in my room for about seven months and I didn't do anything for it. If you can't get the packets from your nomination sources, then at least send them a letter about your intentions to apply for a nomination. Writing a letter means more than a phonecall, but both can't hurt.

They know that you probably didn't want to sit down a write the letter youself, so that shows that you're saying, "Hey, look at me. I care more than the people that are taking two minutes to call your secretary." It comes down to actions speak louder than words.

This is from "The AIR FORCE ACADEMY Candidate Book: How to Prepare, How to Get In, and How to Survive." It's on the Academy's website / giftshop site. It helped me a lot in addition to this forum. Good luck!
 
When you say write a letter, do you mean handwrite or type? How would you format it and what should I address my rep as?
 
Personally, I'd type. I didn't send the initial letter, but I am going to send a Thank You to my Representative and Senator for their nominations. It should be in business format, but definitely sign your name personally at the bottom of the letter.

Google: Business Format Letter and look at some examples. Hope that helps.
