Hi y'all, I'm almost done with all my appointments (just my drug test left) and I've been curious how hard the academy is exactly.

I've seen varying different positions on this subreddit. Some people say it's extremely easy and you'd basically have to try and fail it, and other people say it's challenging and you'll be exhausted by the end of day. Which has left me confused more than anything?

I'd appreciate it if anyone could answer,

1 - What is the schedule like? When is academics, gym, firearm training, martial arts practice, etc. throughout the 6 months?

2 - What is the parking situation like? This one has left me the most confused because some people say that you need to carpool to get access to the lot, while others say you don't, while others say that you can park outside at the no parking and standing signs and they won't ticket.

3 - How many exams are there? And do you get laptops or is it pen and paper?

4 - Why are people saying this next academy class on July 22 is going to be the last one for a while? Like I've heard rumors about budget cuts and the mayor's new initiatives but nothing concrete?

Hi all, I've been reading every relevant post from this sub every since I took my exam last year.

I graduated with a bachelor's recently so I resumed my application. I passed my medical, JST, and written psych no problem.

I've never drank, never smoked, have no traffic tickets or arrests, no academic disciplinary issues, and don't even really have any friends. I live a boring life.

I'm just, way more nervous for this 1 on 1 meeting than I expected. Because from what I understand, if I'm denied I'll have to wait for an entire other exam cycle (appealing costs a lot of money).

I'm reaching out to ask if there are any things I can do to prepare or if there's anything I should know. I'd really appreciate it, I just can't afford to get denied. Thanks everyone.
