You cannot transfer in the traditional sense.&amp;nbsp; Everyone here does 4 years at USAFA to graduate.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;2. Some of your credits may transfer, or you may validate a few classes if you test well.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;3. There are no majors requirements to become a pilot.&amp;nbsp; If you want to be an engineer or a test pilot, you need a technical major.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;4.&amp;nbsp; I don't know, your stats look fairly good.&amp;nbsp; Apply and find out.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;5.&amp;nbsp;USAFA does not graduate enlisted airmen, its purpose is to commission officers.&amp;nbsp; There is a 5 year active duty and 3 year reserve committment.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Please go to &lt;A href="http://www.academyadmissions.com"&gt;www.academyadmissions.com&lt;/A&gt; and read what they have there for more info.&lt;/P&gt;</description></item><item><title>USAFA questions</title><link>http://www.jets.dk/cs/forums/thread/4794.aspx</link><pubDate>Wed, 24 Oct 2007 07:12:36 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">a23efcf1-9e75-4ff9-be18-cd9cb68b9485:4794</guid><dc:creator>guyh27</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.jets.dk/cs/forums/thread/4794.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.jets.dk/cs/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=34&amp;PostID=4794</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Hello. I have been wondering what to do with my life and I have
recently become infatuated with the idea of becoming a fighter pilot.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I figure the best way to do this would be to
attend the USAFA.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I am currently
enrolled in community college in Florida
as an undeclared major. This is my first semester so the only classes I am
enrolled in are basic english, math, and a few humanities.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;In high school I had a weighted GPA of 3.7
and was very involved with sports, held a few captain positions, passed four AP
exams, and had 150 hours of community service. I have a few questions about USAFA.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;1) Is it even possible for me to transfer?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;2) If I was to transfer would any of my classes from
community college transfer?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;3) Are fighter pilots limited to a specific group of majors?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;4) What are my chances of getting accepted?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;5) And finally, is there a commitment to be enlisted in the
Air Force for a specific number of years after you graduate from USAFA?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Thanks.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
