Hello, I am currently a sophomore in high school and have some questions. What are the most important factors to becoming a competitive applicant to join the academy and what are the steps I can take now to make my application the best it can possibly be? The most important question to me right now would be what are the best classes to take to better prepare me for the academy.
 
Good for you for setting your sights early. Early enough than you can do primary research. Go to USAFA’s website and read every single page, tab, pulldown and link. More than 90% of your questions will be answered there. It’s the latest, most accurate information.

From there, peruse these threads to find pertinent headlines and posts. Also go onto your MOC’s website to see how they handle nominations.

A trait of any strong cadet and officer is resourcefulness. Use all the primary resources at hand — the direct sources of information — and use SAF as a supplement and clarifier. Best wishes to you.

That'll give you all that you need to know. If you have questions that aren't answered by that website, feel free to come back here. We'd be happy to help!
