We are currently preppies and would love to answer your questions!
There is no one set criteria for prep. People get sent her for a variety of reasons (low CFA , grades, ACT/SAT scores, sports). People can also be sent with or without a nomination. On average around 230 people arrive at the Prep and only 190 graduate. Many people will get kicked out or they may just decide that it isn’t for them. If you focus on grades and are in “good standing” then you won’t have to worry about getting an appointment. Nothing is guaranteed but it is very realistic to get an appointment through the prep.What is the criteria for prep? How many people that don’t get an appointment get asked to the prep school?
would I just get one email or notification that would let me know if I am nominated or appointed to USAFA or prep?We are currently preppies and would love to answer your questions!
also if I played soccer during my high school year not in school but for a club can I try out for the prep soccer team and when do they have tryouts?We are currently preppies and would love to answer your questions!
Yes! Your portal will be updated letting you know. For both nominations and appointment you should get a document in the mail.would I just get one email or notification that would let me know if I am nominated or appointed to USAFA or prep?
You are more than welcome to tryout for the team during basic. After basic they will then have one last call for anything that may want to tryout, but it mainly happens the last week of basic.also if I played soccer during my high school year not in school but for a club can I try out for the prep soccer team and when do they have tryouts?
I did not do the questionnaire for the sports thing because I was scared I just wanted to try out in person
There are tryouts during basic, and if you are decent at soccer you can walk on to the team like I did.also if I played soccer during my high school year not in school but for a club can I try out for the prep soccer team and when do they have tryouts?

so what during basic you train then can join the team right after? i know I just repeated what you said but this is specifically for prep and academy correct?There are tryouts during basic, and if you are decent at soccer you can walk on to the team like I did.
At the prep school yes. At the Academy I think the tryouts for walk-ons are after basic.so what during basic you train then can join the team right after? i know I just repeated what you said but this is specifically for prep and academy correct?
Yes. We had four from Ramstein and Yokota, and all of them burned most of their leave before coming here.Are there any prior E’s who arrived from overseas bases? (More specifically, south Korea) I was wondering if it would be possible to take leave enroute before your DEROS.
We have several recruited athletes here at the Prep but there is no club team specifically for the Prep. I would imagine if they wanted to start a club or something of the sort that they could.Two quick questions:
1. Is lacrosse an option for sport at USAFAPS?
2. As my DS is already a certified pilot, will there be any opportunity to fly while he is there?
