Summer Seminar is ONLY for those between their junior and senior years in high school. The application is online at www.academyadmissions.com.

That site also has the basic information on the academy.

hey Kinger8,

I was just wondering about how I could into the Airforce Academy, and I have never heard of this Summer Seminar. Could you tell me some about that? Am i old enough to get to the Seminar? As of right now im a sophmore in highschool and i will be sixteen in a few months. i want really bad to be in the airforce, and there is nohing else i'd rather do. this is my life and dream to gat in the airforce. i'm guessing that you have to make exelant grades in school to make it but i also think thats a small part in making it. but i think i have the grade part down. i make striaght A's and i passed the 9th grade with high honors. I'm in the CAP(civil air patrol) otherwise known as the Airforce Auxiliary. So it would be nice to get some answers. So please do what you can to help me out...

C/AB Steward.

My question is about the Summer Seminar. I am very interested in attending, but I haven't seen age or grade requirements mentioned anywhere. I am a junior this year, and would attend the Summer Seminar (in theory..) during the summer between my junior and senior year. Does the Academy accept students that have not completed their senior year to the Summer Seminar?

(I'm assuming that course was a B.S. or B.A. degree)

You could apply through Air Force OTS (29 is the age limit for pilot slots). The academy only takes people up to age 23.

I am applying to the summer seminar in January. Is it likely for me to get accepted? How old were you when you went to summer seminar?

It's great that you're interested but you have to be truly committed or even if you get in you won't stick. Attending an Academy is not something you just realize you want to try...you have to want it more than anything and be willing to go through a lot of difficult and exhausting trials from the get go. So think about why you want to go and how bad you need to be there.

Wome comprise about 200 some odd cadets out of each class as I recall but you aren't interested in averages, you are only interested in being one of the 200 plus.

Sports are very important. Every one is required to play a sport in the ACAD's as I recall, so it makes sense that they would want to see a candidate play sports in H.S.. Band is one of the activities that will earn you some points in one of the components of the composit scoring system.

Good GPA and solid SAT's are important as well.

Why did you suddenly decide so late that you want to deo something so demanding?

Good luck!

I got a hold of my ALO through my councelor. If yours does not have contact info, then call admissions.

You could contact your ALO to get some advice, but it is not necessary until the end of your sophomore/early junior year. Look into Summer Seminar as the first major thing to apply to.

How soon should I contact my ALO? I am only a freshman, and I was thinking I should at the end of my sophmore year. Also which is the better way to find my ALO--my counselor at school, or the number on academyadmissions.com?

Re: Answers to Air Force Academy Questions

Yes, you should go to college for a year. It will help you remain a strong candidate. Take Math, Science, and Engineering courses where possible. You should be able to validate some classes, if you get in next year.

The academy looks very highly on athletic activities and leadership. Not having athletics may hurt you a bit, but your academics may counter that somewhat. Make sure you are in shape for the CFA test next year. You should contact your ALO soon and your congressmen no later than this summer.

You may also want to look at Air Force ROTC at regular colleges.
