I'm currently at the Air Force Academy Prep School and I am willing to answer any question you have.
Did you get selected for the prep school straight out of high school or are you prior enlisted? If you were straight out of high school, what did your profile look like? If prior enlisted, what was the process like for you when applying?
Basic training is a lot like the first part of basic on the Hill, so a lot of marching and learning customs and courtesies. It's not too bad, some days are better than others.Can you compare how life at Prep differs from life at USAFA (besides the obvious)? For example, basic training, school courses, typical day/week, requirements, etc.
Hello, another preppie here,Did you receive a Nomination and were then offered the Prep School or were you offered Prep School with no Nomination (I know you do not have to have one, but wondering if you received one)?
Do you know anyone who went to community college before entering the prep school?I'm currently at the Air Force Academy Prep School and I am willing to answer any question you have.
I know a few people who went to community college for a semester or two because they applied to the Academy and didn't get in. It's honestly a good way to get a solid academic foundation before coming to the Prep school or the Academy.Do you know anyone who went to community college before entering the prep school?
Most of the priors own a car, and some directs have cars, but most people go places in groups so having a car is not really necessary.Hi, I read that preppies can have their vehicles. Do a lot of you have cars or is it really necessary? Just wondering if I should bother with it since I'll have to get rid of it before entering the academy. Thanks!
Are most kids there straight out of high school? If not, what is the average age?I'm currently at the Air Force Academy Prep School and I am willing to answer any question you have.
Hi there, current preppie as well. The average age is 18 to 19. The range is 17-22.Are most kids there straight out of high school? If not, what is the average age?
There are multiple factors, one of the biggest I see here is that either that person hasn't taken Calc and/or physics. Also some great candidates come from states that have a lot of competition.Why do you think you did not get regular admission? Lots did without tests as good as yours, and your ECAs are great.
No nomination needed for a prep appointment but it's helpful if you've been through the motions of trying to acquire one. You have to apply for a nomination your prep year because you need one to get into the academy.Is a nomination required to receive an offer to the prep school?
