Hey all, I'm applying to the USAFA this year, I believe that academically and as an all around person I am competitive for an appointment overall. Without listing everything here, I'm in many clubs, play varsity soccer and basketball, have hundreds of community service hours, and have a primary nomination from my representative.
The only part of my application that is lacking is my CFA. While I do play varisity sports and am not unathletic, my CFA scores were low enough so that I got an email saying I had to retake them. Obviously I am going to, and I have two weeks to practice to get better before then, and hopefully that will be enough to make me fully competetive again, but if it isn't, could I at least be offered a Prep School spot?
Most of what I have read says that the prep school is generally reserved for those who academically struggle, but that isn't the part that is hard for me. Is it possible to be given a prep school appointment with low CFA scores?
Here are my scores:
Best B-ball throw: 56
Pull-ups: 8
Best shuttle run: 9.9
Situps: 64
Pushups: 47
Mile: 8:03
Also, as almost a side question, any suggestions onnimproon i, or what I should work hardest on improving? I only have two weeks.
Thanks guys
