This is my first post. I am going into junior year and have really begun thinking about the air force academy. I am in the top 3% of my class with a 4.4 GPA, in the IB program, and in Boyscouts (I will be Eagle soon, I am working on my project right now). I am running for Senior Patrol Leader in my troop in a few weeks, with no doubts that I will be elected. The only area Im concerned about is sports, of which I only play tennis, and Im not seated very high (seventh or 8th). I havent taken the SAT or ACT yet, planning on doing that as soon as possible, but I did score a 28 on the PLAN and I am fairly confident that I can get over 700 on all SAT sections. First, can anyone give me advice on what more I could be doing to bolster my chances of admission?
Second, after browsing the posts, all of the vision questions are related to distance. My problem is color blindness. I am not completely color blind at all, it is not detrimental in the slightest and I can see all colors and distinguish them perfectly. Its just that when I go into the doctors office to do that test where you have to see the Fs in those dots of different colors, I cant see any of the 8 Fs except the first one! Would that take me out of the running for piloting a fighter or a helicopter, or even a heavier plane for that matter?
Thanks for any replies.
