Falcon Foundation Scholarship

I have a 690 CR and 670 M, and I never took the ACT... Mrs. Durbeck from NWP told me we will be taking the SAT and ACT about 3 times each, she expects high 700s and maybe 800.
 
Thanks. Those are the exact CR and math scores that my daughter achieved. Shows me that there may be hope for something great if initial admission isn't achieved. A long road ahead awaits! Good luck to you.

We were wondering about the other prep schools listed on the falcon sch. letter besides NW in CA? Don't really like the format of only attending one semester out there and going the other semester at a regular college-not a good fit for our son. Looking at the ones in New Mexico, Texas, and Alabama; maybe Virginia. Some of these also have High School Boarding Students; how do they separate the college kids/prep kids from that; ie. dorm life, mess hall, etc. These programs are all different; like texas; didn't seem to have the same military situation as others. Thanks so much for info and support!!!

The format was also a concern for me when I looked at NWP, which is why I picked MMI in Alabama. MMI does not have a high school attached to it, so there are no concerns there. I do know, however, that I had a great experience there and would recommend it to other Falcon Scholars who believe they are a good fit. It is one of the least expensive options and taught me a lot about myself and others. Let me know if you have any specific questions and I would love to answer them!

I am fairly certain that NWP is only college prep students and no HS students. NWP has been advised by the academies to focus on the academic and physical portions of training, and leave the military training to the academies once the students get there.

No, NWP does not have a high school attached to it. The format I am referring to is the one that Knights expressed concern over: one semester of prep, and one at a standard university.
 
DS just declined FFS. Decided to accept appointment to USMMA, hope someone else makes good use of the FFS..very very tough decision. Good luck to all
 
FFS Grad here.. back in 04'. I went to Wentworth and it was great. However, I think it has changed since then. Had a bunch of buds go to NWP and loved it. I think we paid 12k or so out of pocket. Not sure cause Dad paid for it since he was just happy it wasn't going to be 150k.

Edit: I meant to congratulate all those who just found out! I'm at USAFA right now as a Captain flying the gliders.
 
Congrads to all FFS! Imagine all have made the decision before today-our son decided on MMI. Texas looked good too but not really the military school that he wanted; this seemed better training for USAFA to us. See you all next year at Inprocessing!!!!! Class of 2021;Yea!
Thanks again for all advice and support; especially to the cadets at USAFA. We know how hectic your life is!
