<p>Even if some of you get rejection letters don’t lose hope</p>
<p>My element leader at AFA summer seminar got a rejection letter and a month later he received a call from his congressmen giving him an appointment</p>
<p>My ALO told me a story about how a person received a phone call 5 days before I-day. </p>
<p>Even For myself, I didn’t even receive a nomination from any of my MOC, and then suddenly at the end of March/Early April, I received a letter from the vice president, awarding me a nomination and 2~3 days later I received an appoitnment. </p>
<p>Yeah... there's someone in 05 that got a call less than a week before inprocessing. I know because that's when they officially took my spot away.</p>
<p>There are quite a few people who end up applying more than once, so if you don't get in and really want to be here, there's nothing wrong with trying again for the next year! :)</p>
<p>When I was attending the summer seminars for AF and WP....they said about 33% of each in comming class has one or more year of college education under their belts... A few even have their degrees already</p>
<p>Im trying to prevent false hope, as i know this year its 100% out of the question but i want to go so badly next year, however its quite disiluioning to get the rejection letter that you think its not even worth it to even fill out your PCQ. which trust me, ive held off doing just cause it sometimes feels so pointless at times... although your stories helps remind me that there is SOME hope.</p>
<p>So i am going to start all over again and hopefully make it next year.</p>
<p>Thanks for the stories, they bring a little light to a sad situation.</p>
<p>The best thing you can do is go to college and take a VERY tough first semester load of courses that are similar to the core curriculum for freshmen at USAFA (Calc, Chem, English, Physics, History, etc) and then go through the app process. As soon as your first semester grades are posted--get a transcript sent to USAFA. An admissions officer once told me that a 3.5 or higher carrying 15+ hours in the first semester of civilian college, GREATLY increases ones chances of an appointment.</p>
