<p>I’ve seen that some people are confused about what the statement of desire is intended to be, and I share in it. Does it mean like the objective of a resume type thing, a single sentence summing up your goal and purpose? Or is it more of an essay? How long a statement are they expecting? Thanks.</p>
<p>Ok this is the only directions for the statement of Desire:</p>
<p>Why do YOU want to go to the air force academy?</p>
<p>Thats it write there, nothing else nothing more. Dont worry about length, just get your point across.</p>
<p>I didnt want to start a new thread, so I will put it here. Can anyone chance me for summer seminar based on this?</p>
