You can always goto a normal college for a year, get good grades and get involved, and then apply to the academy if you do not get in this year. The deadline has already past for many congressmen and senators so this year may be too late, but try to contact them anyway.

Alright, I'll try to see a recruiter and contact the admissions board. I'll definitely try to get that 100+ hrs. Thank You

From what I've been told;; to be even considered for the academy;; you need at least 100 service hours;; which could take alot of time. You need to get a recomdation from a senator, congressman, the vice-president, or the president. You would have needed to complete the questionaire junior year;; it may still be possible to do that. You'd need to apply NOW and get that recomendation NOW. If possible, get in to as many AP or college courses as you can, and be top physicial shape. I'd say contact the admissions board to see where you stand.

It is my senior year this year and I've finally realize that my past has been a big mistake. Through those 3 years of high school, I really did not know what to do for the years to come. My GPA right now is at a 3.0. I play every sports, but not for school. No clubs, no extracurricular activities, no community service. For this year, I joined Key Club and I'm beginning to work on my community service hours. I'm part of the pre-collegiate program down at UCD. I just would like to hear my chances, knowing that they are incomparable with the requirements for the USAFA. I've set my mind towards the USAFA, knowing that I have a 10% chance of getting admitted and a deep hole to recover from. I'll appreciate any comments or suggestions that you guys have, thanks.
