<p>for the class of 2012, we get them this summer right? and really, thats when it all begins for us… am i correct in sayin this? we had Academy Day today… one of my congressmen sponsors it; he gets cadets from around the state from all the academies (coast guard and merchant marine included) to come and speak, and just to hang out and ask questions for a couple hours… it was great. so, i’ve filled out the pre-can questionnaire on the admissions website, it tells me i’m a prospect, and its given me a counselor and ALO w/ phone numbers… so the next step is to wait for the candidate kit and start from there?</p>
<p>Yessir.</p>
<p>Start preparing for the CFA.</p>
<p>If you haven't alraedy contacted your ALO, you should just to touch base.</p>
<p>yea, see i called him yesterday to ask him about academy day.. he said to wait til i get my candidate kit because it'll tell me who my ALO is.. so is the ALO it lists on the application page the same that they'll give you in your candidate kit?</p>
<p>Yep, should be.</p>
<p>hm alright then.. i guess i'll call him back this week and tell him that the application website tells me to talk to him. haha</p>
<p>and what exactly is the AFA counselor for? what does she do for me?</p>
<p>Much like a highschool counselor.</p>
<p>He/she is pretty much in charge of your profile.</p>
<p>And I guess when you're there, they are glad to talk to you and help you out with stuff.</p>
<p>If you have any questions about your profile, your counselor is a great resource.</p>
<p>alrighty i might give her a call this week too... geez i've made so many phone calls this past month gettin the app process started.</p>
<p>Oh man, its only the beginning haha.</p>
<p>haha great... i'm really excited though. tryin to take it all in stride</p>
<p>Also, I think that they don't send you a candidate kit because everything is done online.</p>
<p>It's an Online Candidate Kit.</p>
<p>well they'll send the url w/ username and password in the mail this summer.... right?</p>
<p>Yep, that's right.</p>
<p>okie doke... i wish it'd happen sooner :)</p>
<p>when do you have to have precandidate questionnaire filled out for class of 12'?</p>
<p>There is a timeline on the Academy site.</p>

<p>They say to have requested the questionnaire between March of your junior year and December of your senior.</p>
<p>I recommend requesting it and completing it as soon as you can.</p>
<p>*Note: if you applied for the seminar, you do not need to request the Pre-Cand Questionnaire.</p>
<p>i did it the very first day of march :) i was really happy to do it too</p>
<p>ok thanks CadCandMateus, I don't need to fill it out then.</p>
