Falcon Visitation Experience (FVE)

[FightingFalcon2027]

Anybody received a Falcon Visitation Experience invitation? I received an invitation today through email. I already attended the Summer Seminar this summer, any thoughts? I have an application for Class of 2027, waiting for DoDMERB.

I attended both this year. Go if you're interested in USAFA. FVE will give you a much better feel for daily life at USAFA. FVE covers all expenses.

Is FVE only for invited students?

Interesting. I hosted a candidate for FVE in October and they stayed here in the cadet area in my dorm room. Three years ago when I did the program myself, it was the same deal.

The hotel room is for a parent or guardian, candidate will stay in the dorm.

When you attended the FVE, how many in your group got an appointment?

I went last year and I was one of very few who were medically qualified and didn’t get an appointment. Vast majority did

Hi, Do you know what the parents will be doing during FVE? Thanks.

Sorry, no I don't. I traveled by myself.

Did you receive an Appointment yet? Do parents have any scheduled activities during FVE? Thank you.

No appointment yet. Portal has me as medical DQ. I'm not seeing much here about admissions putting in many waiver requests yet. DODMERB hasn't replied to my email 3 weeks ago for info. Waiting patiently. Options for plan B are already in place.

I traveled to FVE alone. There was an admissions session for parents during summer seminar. Plenty to do in the area to entertain parents if nothing is scheduled. Visitor center, AOG area, Garden of the God's, Pike's Peak, etc.

Thank you for your response. The Academy is the one to apply for a waiver in your behalf.
