falcon,
Presidential is a non-competitive nom. If the candidates' parent is eligible they get the nom. There is no limitation to the slate size, and usually it is 400-500 for the pool.
~The rate for appointment statistically lower than being on an MOC slate. (20-25% compared to 10% on an MOC)
Yes, they should go for that nom., but IMPO it is giving false hope that their chances of being appointed in Nov., just because they have a Pres.
It is going to come back to:
~ CGPA
~ SAT/ACT
~ Class rank
~ AP/IB
~ CFA
~ EC
ETCERA, ETCERA, ETCERA.
Your kids had a nom., and IMPO according to admissions they were going to be in the top 100 Pres. noms due to their stats. NOBODY here knows yet what Sami stats look like. 3.0 cgpa, 1150 SAT, 2 APs, top 30% class rank, will not get them an appointment via Presidential IMPO.
We need to make sure posters understand that Presidential does not equate to an appointment.
fencer is right IMPO.
We are a supportive group, but read the stickies, investigate both the AFA abd AFRITC websites. Come back when you have exhausted all of those avenues and give us more than I WANT TO JOIN.
~ I am being redundant, but hey here's a thought you want to JOIN and want guidance, than tell us about your academic/athletic/EC background...
~~ Sami has 7 posts. Can any of you say you know their cgpa? Course curriculum? What sport they are in? How about ECs?
~~~ Answer is NO
It is great to give advice on specific noms, but after 7 posts and ignoring very direct questions from me, we only do more harm than good unless they answer those questions
Like I said above what would you all say if their SAT V was 490?
I get fencers ???
Sami said:
I have been grown and raised in a military family.
Have been grown?
Sorry Sami, but from a grammatical pov, I have been grown raised eyebrows with me. I worry that the SAT V s gong to be an issue is at 15
Look, I get fingers typing faster than your brain. I am not an English teacher. Just saying, have been grown is something that concerns me, especially when you appear to ignore very direct questions.
Again! Want to know how to JOIN, than lay it out there, tell us your stats, otherwise, sorry shut up and color because we can't help you JOIN the AFA
~ Harsh? Probably.
~ Honest? You betcha!
The AF is known as the corporate branch, and as a child of an Army O3, I think your Mom would agree these posts were really not mean
