I would definitely accept the invitation to attend Summer Seminar as it was announced that the USAFA will no longer conduct Appointee Orientation Sessions. Summer Seminar will greatly aid you in making a decision as to whether you think the USAFA is a fit for you.

BTW - our son went to Summer Seminar and decided not to attend Appointee Orientation so I personally think this might have been a good area if they had to cut back on an area. However, I would encourage parents to visit the campus beforehand if possible, similar to how many parents go on civilain college campus visits with their child. Also, if you did not get into Summer Seminar, but got an Appointment, be sure and schedule a campus visit just like you would to any college you are thinking about attending, plus do alot of reading online about the major differences in attending a service academy vs. a civilian college.
