Early Admission or Good CFT Score

For those of 2012 who don’t know who I am, I’m a 4-degree here at USAFA, and I know from experience that the CFA is not the biggest part of your competitiveness. Like people on here have said before, USAFA looks at the “whole person”, not just one area. I did ok (close to average on most stuff except the b-ball throw and the run), and I made it here and then through BCT, and I passed both my PFT (push ups, pullups, stuff like that) and my AFT (1.5 mile run…down hill for a lot of it), so don’t sweat it too much.

Personally, I would recommend getting your CFA scores in sooner rather than later, unless you still can’t reach close to average on almost anything, although redhead is proof that it is possible to get in with PFT scores you’re not real happy about. The longer you wait, the more people you will be competing against, while those who sent it in way back in August or even July have a smaller pool of people to compete against.

Any way, good luck, 2012. Believe me when I say that I and many of my classmates are looking forward to when you get here (since we’ll all be upperclassmen then!). It will come sooner than you think.
