<p>I got a call last week from the academy asking if was interested in a Falcon Scholarship. I told them that I was interested and they said they would forward my name to the Falcon Foundation. Did any one else get this call? Does this garentees me a scholarship or just puts me on a wait list?</p>
<p>Not to be pessimistic, but that probably just puts you on a wait list...</p>
<p>My son recieved a Falcon Foundation Scholarship last fall and attended Prep School @ Northwestern Prep. He liked it and got an appointment to the Acacemy this year. I think that most of his classmates got appointments, too. My take was that it was kind of a "back door" to an appointment. It was not typical college, though they had classes but got no credits. Worked on ACT/SAT testing and took them every time offered in the fall. Our biggest problem was keeping his health insurance as it is not accreditted program. He made some really good friends that will be at the Academy with him for the next 4 years. Some are going to the Naval Academy and a few to West Point. most are going to the AFA with him. Would he do it again? Yes</p>
