Academy of Choice:: USAFA

Applying for Class of:: 2012

Home State:: Missouri

I Want to Attend a Service Academy Because:: I have always had a strong desire to serve my country and help people. I have also wanted to fly for as long as I can remember. Unfortunately, my eyes were never the best so I just tossed the idea of going to the USAFA aside. Luckily, I finally said one way or the other, I was going to go, even if I couldn't fly. (Now they offer LASIK, so yay!). I also have a strong desire to protect this great nation and to fight for what I believe in, and for what our founding fathers believed in. I enjoy challenges and am constantly trying to find new ways to challenge myself and become more of the person I want to be. I hope I will be able to accomplish this by attending the USAFA.

About Me:: I am 16 and a senior in high school and a sophomore in college(its slightly confusing)...I play basketball and any other sport I can, I am VP in SGA, Student Senate senator, RHA, Astronomy club president, and a community leader for my dorm wing. I love any leadership opportunity! I can't wait until I can hopefully enter the class of 2012 and kick some butt in BCT! I know that doesn't begin to cover half the stuff about me...so if you have any questions feel free to ask!

Activities:: as noted above

SAT Score:: How about ACT? The AFA has two diff. scores. a 28 and 29. one had a higher math and english score. I dont know which one has a higher point value.

GPA:: ummm...two different ones here too. 3.917 for high school. and a 3.34 for college...so when combined and weighted its about a 3.8

AIM:: jellicious17

WOOHOO! All I have left to do after the 7 of August is my CFA and get the nomination. All of my other paperwork is done and sent off and I had my interview this past week so that is over. Medical exam is in a couple days but I'm not worried about that. Besides the CFA and nomination, I just have to continue to update things as necessary. I hope all of this hard work has paid off and I hope I will have an appointment in October or November!

I hope the application process is going well f… Continue

Progress...

So things are coming along really well so far. I have my interview in just over a week and my medical exam is the week after that. I am also trying to get paperwork off to my representative for a nomination. I still have two teacher evaluations left for the Academy to receive and the USAFA should receive my transcripts within the next few weeks. I am going to take the Candidate Fitness Test in the next month so I can get my endurance and upper body strength built up some more. Overall, I'm reall… Continue
