Hello! I am also applying for the class of 2025. I made a post as the one above around a month ago... the advice that people are going to give you is to keep raising the SAT score and get the best grades possible. Like another applicant to the class of 2025 told me, there is a lot of things going on behind the scenes (Essay, Nominations, Interviews, etc.), you get the point. Something that I have also gather is that USAFA does not want you to participate in just clubs, they want you to be a leader of the clubs that you participate in. Hope this helps! Good Luck!

Thanks! I tried looking around some but I couldn't find many from 2025 or that had JROTC. I'll definitely work on SAT. Good luck to you hope we'll see each other there!

Combing the older threads and found this artifact! Congrats @FlyFalcon! Your journey may have been longer than you initially bargained for, but you did the best thing anyone can ever do when facing adversity: follow advice and keep pushing. To anyone still waiting, best of luck. It isn't over until its over. As evidenced here, persistence pays profoundly.

Oh gosh. I still remember writing this! Not much changed other than my ACT going up. I don't think anyone could have predicted this gal junior year would end up captain as I pissed coach off durning the summer,get a few other cool awards, finish with high academic honors or go to prep school.

I remember having very little confidence. . Though it would be later on when I would be told I wouldn't make it by my mentor ALO. I keep my application open just in case, thank goodness. Confidence is something I still struggle with but that's ok.

March 16th 2021 would be the day. Too bad I can't tell her all about senior year. Would have saved some tears and alot of worries .

But hey I'm happy for my path. I would have chosen to go to NWP over and over again. Definitely grew a tougher skin in a healthy way thanks to the Durbecks. Im thankful for posting this. I had been lurking around for awhile before posting but who knew I would be here nearly two years later still writing wayyyy too long posts.

Thank everyone, for everything.
