Application

<p>I put in the preliminary application last month. Now it says I am a Competitive Applicant, and if I recive a nomination I will become a Candidate. When will the academy send out the application packets?</p>

<p>Your Status:
Candidate* (You have been identified as competitive. You must complete the forms identified below.)
Your Application is:
Incomplete**</p>

<p>and I dont have a nomination...</p>

<p>Your Status: Applicant* (your application is under consideration)
Your Application is: Competitive </p>

<p>-So I guess they are still looking at it?</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>I'm trying to remember but I think the applications were sent in September. You'll definately get one since your application is competitive (you met the minimum hurdles and qualifications). Don't get too excited, most will be "competitive". But it means you're off to a good start. Once the application comes fill it out as much as you can and then provide updates as you go through the school year. Hopefully, you've already started the process for the nomination. Could consider SAT review class if you haven't already signed up. Just a thought. Best of luck! Note: get everything done as fast as possible. You may be able to get a "letter of assurance" from the Academy which practically guarantees you a spot -- and greatly reduces the stress on the nomination process -- though you still need one. Good luck!</p>

<p>I attended Summer Seminar and my application states:
Your Status:
Candidate* (You have been identified as competitive. You must complete the forms identified below.)
Your Application is:
Incomplete**
I was able to get my canadate kit online. All the other people in my Summer Seminar Element have the same as i do in regards to our status. We also all got letters saying to get all of our stuff in by September. My brother though, who applied last year and is trying again, and he still hasnt gotten his Canadate Kit( via mail or online.) Online his application says:
Your Status: Applicant* (your application is under consideration)
Your Application is: Competitive.
-taffy did you go to Summer Seminar?</p>

<p>i see. but is it possible for me to go ahead right now and knock out the medical evaluation for the USAFA even though i don't have my application packet. i recently recieved a card concerning the DOMERB, but this was sent by USNA. I know that it is good for all the academies.</p>

<p>No, I didn't go to summer seminar. I just graduated high school :-P</p>

<p>It looks like almost all (if not all) of the application is online... I think we're supposed to put our teachers' email addys and they email in the letter of rec, and all this stuff...</p>

<p>yea, i talked with my ALO and he said that it was the full application(it was the "Canadate Kit or people that passed the PCQ.) He said that it was all on the internet this year. My brother was reapplying too, and he had to wait until July 1st until he could resubmit his application. I on the other hand had all my application "stuff" submitted to the AFA on July 2nd. Now i am just waiting until the AFA processes it and i will be all complete.My brother called the AFA and they said that for him, his "Canadate Kit" would be ready in August/September. We thought this was weird casue mine was already complete and turned in and he hasnt even gotten his yet.</p>

<p>i hope you rubbed it in and made sure he knew who USAFA liked more.</p>

<p>Oreilly: the problem is that the full candidate kit has the form that must be filled out by the physician (and by you with prior history) so that if you went now, you would have to go again to have that filled out. They might not even see you without the form. Don't see how you can avoid waiting until you get the packet. I think Chris got his because of ss. I don't see the full application online, only the precandidate questionaire although I could be wrong and may have missed it,</p>

<p>The medical history form is on DODMERB/Concorde site. S answer questions on-line and the form filled itself in. At the end it produced a PDF of the form, you make sure it is correct and hit print.</p>

<p>Do you happen to know when the first meeting to review canadate files are? Also will we know what the outcome is?</p>

<p>so what happens if I fill out that form.</p>

<p>thanks for the help</p>

<p>"so what happens if I fill out that form."</p>

<p>Which form? the medical-- nothing you print it out off the website and take it with you to your appt.</p>

<p>There are so many forms!!</p>

<p>could you please post that link.</p>

<p>thank you</p>

<p>If you are talking about the medical history form, you must have been sent a DODMERB postcard. The access to the site is by password and the user id and password are sent to you after you call DODMERB to make an appt.</p>

<p>Chrisbs89 and my S both went to SS. They were loaded into the system early. You most likely will get your card next month.</p>

<p>THat application I swear is going to be the death of me!!!</p>

<p>haha. i finally have my application open.</p>

<p>Don't forget that once your application is in the system you can check it on-line. Do that frequently. What you think you have done and what the academy thinks you have done aren't always the same. Once you have sent something in, keep checking back to make sure it got logged in and not misdirected somewhere.</p>

<p>Hey I sent my high schoo transcipt and all that fun stuff in about 2 weeks ago and the I called my school and they said they sent it in. Should I wait a little longer in case it hasn't been processed or get ahold of admissions at the academy.</p>
