USAF Academy, CO · Public · Liberal arts / baccalaureate college
The United States Air Force Academy is a federal service academy in Colorado. Admission combines academics with medical, fitness, nomination, and character requirements, so its process differs substantially from a standard college application.
USAFA requires an SAT or ACT result and considers the highest scores it receives. Its current admissions guide reports middle-50% ranges of 650–730 for SAT Reading and Writing and 650–740 for SAT Math.
The pre-candidate questionnaire opens March 1. Nomination deadlines depend on the nominating source, and candidates should complete testing early enough for scores to arrive before the winter selection process.
