Are they chosen on the same point system as others who receive an offer of a nomination during EA and RA?
The reason I ask is that one of my sons sort of fits the bill...we are trying to determine a viable plan B and C.
Could I assume that these Scholars would have a max score on their CFA?
Can I also assume that there is no way to tell admissions that he would be giddy to be offered a scholar spot?
^^^I have also know of CGAS who are the opposite to what you state, stellar grades and ok EC's, but were not athletes in high school and needed an opportunity to improve on the CFA, so they are given the year to get up to speed. One of these guys (MMI) graduated in the class of '09, brilliant guy, not an athlete at CGA, did fantastic on Pistol/Rifle team and ended up graduating at the top of the class CGA gave them the chance in CGAS because they saw promise in them becoming a great asset to the Coast Guard. PS: There are quite a few cadets that I know of who didn't even score near 200 on their application CFA and are currently excelling academically and militarily at CGA and have become great athletes
Luigi, let's not split hairs over acronyms.
USNA1982BGO said:USCGA will accept any of the physical fitness exams, from any of the service academies. CGA Admissions has a conversion chart, though yes, they do like the PFE, it is not necessary to repeat the test for the sake of taking the PFE. (Per Admission's).
It almost sounds like CGAS could be an real advantage for success later at the Academy.
