I am applying for the summer seminar program and was wondering if you could provide constructive criticism. I don't know if it is too outside of the lines of the prompt or too cliche, but let me know what you all think.
2. What makes you a unique candidate for the summer seminar program? (1500 characters max)
I will not say that the Air Force Academy has been in my cross-air my entire life, with its existence only becoming present during my freshman year of high school. While I could state that my uniqueness as a candidate resides in my past leadership positions and fascination with the aviation world, it doesn’t.
Yes, I am the Student Council Treasurer, the President of Clubs, and the captain of the baseball team, etc... I do have a UAS license and build, sell, and race drones, which is unique; however, that is hardly applicable when attending a camp for a mere three days. I have yet to be given the luxury to meet anybody who has participated in the academy or seen it in person, clouding my vision of whether it is a viable option.
My true uniqueness lies in my desire and curiosity to explore the opportunities that the academy could offer me. The Summer Seminar program allows me firsthand insight into the academy's values and culture, and rather than approaching this as a checkless item or box to be ticked off, I see it as a crucial step in exploring potential career paths.
