Home Interview

Colleges and Universities A-Z Air Force Academy - Colorado Springs

<p>I know we are well into the appointment process. My son received nominations to USMA and USNA. We received a call from USAFA local rep to schedule a home interview. We have this scheduled for this weekend. He has no nomination for USAFA. He had mentioned the prep school to my son. I have called the Senator and Congressmans office who nominated him to see about geeting a nomination for USAFA. The Senators office said it would be unlikely and the congressman is still looking into it. </p>

<p>Is it possible that the interview may be for the prep school???</p>

<p>at this point, if he doesn’t have a nomination, then it probably is. if he gets the nomination, that could change. as you know, he can’t get into the academy without a nomination.</p>

<p>True, he cannot get in without a nomination, but that nomination does not have to come from his Senator or Congressman. </p>

<p>The Sec of the AF can nominate, as can the VP, as can the Supe of the USAFA.</p>

<p>nominations have to be submitted by a certain deadline. I think that it is January 31st</p>

<p>Don’t panic. Those congressman can work miracles.</p>

<p>As Luigi siad, there are other nomination sources available if someone is REALLY wanted and didn’t get a congressional nom. My understanding of the system is that after the normal noms are sent in the rest are put into a sort of pool for grabs that the academy uses to get qualified people that they want in.</p>

<p>As to the P school, it is possible. I know of a few guys here that were accepted to USNA and/or USMA and chose to come to the P instead. If he is an intercollegate athlete it is even more possible because they use the P school to recruit a lot of players that otherwise wouldn’t qualify for entrance for whatever reason.</p>
