<p>Are there any international students accepted at the Air Force Academy? I am just curious.</p>
<p>If you're looking for specific numbers of how many have been accepted to the class of 09, I'm not sure, but if your question was more general in just wondering if any were selected, I can tell you that the answer is yes. There are international students accepted every year now from all over the world; there just aren't very many.</p>
<p>Usually about 10-15 per class, each chosen by their home nation on agreement with the US Dept of State and Dept of Defense.</p>
<p>A friend of the family just graduated from South Korea's Military Academy (as in korea's version of West point) and he actually graduated number 1 from his class.</p>
<p>He was explaining to me after he was accepted to the south korean military academy he was offered a specific test offered by west point. He said it was a test with multiple rounds, and he had to get sponsored by a bunch of politicians.... he missed the cut, but it's a very very rigorous and selevtive process to be accepted from another country....</p>
<p>I don't count as int'l because I 'm an American citizen first and foremost, but I have a dual citizenship (USA, Canada), and I live in Ontario, Canada right now. SO Psyched go go to CO, though!</p>
<p>That dual citizenship will end either when you become a cadet or certainly when/if you are commissioned in the Air Force. If you ever want a security clearance--which is a requirement for officers--you can't maintain dual citizenship.</p>
<p>I thought so too, though I've also been told that I'm allowed to keep it. Mixed messages whenever I ask, but it's not something I'm very worried about. If it's removed, it's removed. Thanks for the heads up, though!</p>
<p>It may vary a little on an individual basis, but my mentoree last year had to give up her dual citizenship to get her security clearance.</p>
<p>How exactly do you "give up" your dual citizenship? Is there forms to write or some other paperwork to take care of?</p>
<p>I was born in Taiwan, but I moved to the US when I was 5. Thus, I don't really know about my prior citizenship with Taiwan [I'm not sure if I even still have it...] Hmm... wierd dilemna to be in huh?</p>
<p>I think there's some statement you sign--not sure though.</p>
