Procedures; OMB Control Number
0701–AFAA.
Needs and Uses: USAFA Admissions
Procedures implement the provisions of
title 10 U.S.C. 9446. Information
collection is necessary to evaluate
background and aptitude for
commissioned service. Data collected
includes candidate’s participation in
extracurricular activities, family and
personal background, and academic
background. USAFA must also collect
information necessary to verify
eligibility for admission. Information
collected allows the Admissions
Committee to evaluate the ‘‘whole
person’’ concept. Without this
information it would be difficult to
accurately determine if an initial
applicant would be qualified to enter
the candidate phase of the admissions
process. It would also be difficult to
accurately determine a candidate’s
leadership and academic abilities.
Finally, USAFA Faculty would not be
able to determine course entry
programming for the cadet to succeed.
Respondents are high school graduates
and General Educational Development
equivalent who are applying to USAFA.
