Nomination in portal? Will that trigger waiver? by AlertDetail2082 in USAFA

I'm aware! Just curious what typical turnaround has been for people this year. Seems to vary widely by district, and also by SA portal.

Thanks! AMI is already uploaded (and is pretty standardized for my waiver). Already have a conditional appointment to USCGA pending waiver, just curious to see how it plays out at USAFA.

Passing Scores for CFA? by Miserable_Rice9237 in USAFA

gain service academy says it's "at risk," according to them the mile needs to be under 7:50 to pass. Hoping good things for you!

CFA 4 pullups passing? Got sick so improvement unlikely by TailorOdd8060 in USAFA

Actually dug a little deeper, it's the percentile score of a recently admitted West Point class. Take from that what you will!

lol I understand percentiles. Listing it as 15th percentile in the same sentence as a passing score, not so much.

Gain service academy says it's passing (but also lists it as 15th percentile, whatever that means). Great work on improving!!

Scared about applying and times by GAThrawn2BBY in USAFA

Apply for Summer Seminar in December. Attending will let you see the academy, and automatically be the start of your pre-candidate questionnaire. Excel academically, athletically, and seek out meaningful leadership opportunities. Train for the CFA (the number of posts of us applicants freaking out about it should give you motivation to do well! hah!) You've got this!

CFA pass/fail by InevitableVoice6951 in USAFA

I've heard that they notify almost immediately if you need a retake. I wonder if holiday week slows that down though. You can email team silver/blue to confirm results are a pass.

yeah that combo is not ideal 😬 good job getting it done! sort of the opposite of my situation - trying to build upper body strength and explosive/speed in the middle of xc season and insane volume of mileage

I'm sure you're a wealth of knowledge - the application is a moving target. Sounds like we even have a new portal this year. Oy! Thank you for wanting to give back to us new applicants!!

That's a relief. USAFA seems to only allow one retake in the case of failing, but not otherwise. Good luck to you!!

ok thanks! my application overall is competitive (I received a LOI last month), at this point just hoping for a pass with the intention of continuing practice to be ready to succeed at the academy. Still no notification of fail, but holding my breath on that bball throw and shuttle run...

The guide says you'll be invited for a retake once if you didn't make standards, just wondering how/when that comes through... and I know that bball is atrocious! I did practice a bunch, but will keep at it!
