Hello, I am currently a senior in high school and began an application to USAFA. During my initial application I was also trying out for drum and bugle corps around my area to tour in the 2023 summer, and my plan was that if I got accepted into the drum and bugle corps, I would march there over the summer, withdraw my USAFA application (since drum and bugle corps would conflict with basic training), and then apply again the following year. I made an error on my part though, and did not fully withdraw my USAFA application, which resulted in me getting a letter that said I was not considered for an appointment because of "incomplete application items". I fully understand this and I realize it is my fault for not withdrawing my application properly (I contacted my ALO, emailed team silver, but I never withdrew it on the site). If I begin applying for class of 2028 when available and I am on top of my application deadlines and such, will this incident be held against me in the application process? Or will it be brought up, and if so, can I explain myself and apologize for not withdrawing properly?
Thank you for reading.
