    "The Wait List" Club.....

    Son got the “We regret to inform you………….” letter today. On July 1st he will take the oath at the USNA. I am not sure how he would have responded to a longer waiting period for the USCGA had it been an option. Once he had sent in the commitment letter to the USNA he was all in. I pray to...

    "The Wait List" Club.....

    Just went out to buy a lottery ticket, I think the odds of wining are better than my son getting the CGA phone call :biggrin:. Having never worked in an admissions office I plead ignorant and ask why 400 applicants are put on a wait list for a class size of approximately 300? Also, having 13%...

    Congratulations to you and your daughter. It’s a great position to be in when you have to make a choice between two service academies. :shake: . Does anyone know if there is an appointment offered to someone on wait list for everyone that is turned down, or is the class size overbooked...

    "The Wait List" Club.....

    My son has received appointments to the USMMA and USNA :thumb:. By the end of this weekend he will have visited both academies and will make a decision as to which one is best for him. He will remain on the CGA waitlist.

    Wait For It...Wait For It! eesh

    Luigi – bribe makes it sound so unethical. Think of it as “an appointment with benefits”! :shake: However, more information leads to more questions; are the total number of appointments overbooked with an anticipation of some turning down their appointment? If so, any idea what the...

    Wait For It...Wait For It! eesh

    Upstate NY: Letter came today offering DS a spot on the WL. Not sure on what the chances are on getting an appointment from the WL? Hey Luigi, does he get bump up to the front of the wait list if his parents own an Itailian Bakery?? :biggrin: Check out on facebook Dolce and Biscotti or...

    Congratulation to your Son! Good news that that the appointments are starting to be mailed out, the waiting will be over soon and then on to decision making. DS is on his way to USMMA for overnight this weekend and then USNA later this month. Its hard to call them plan B if the USCG doesn’t...

    Competiveness rumor

    I hate getting involved in pissing matches because inevitably everyone gets wet. But with that said, the competitiveness of getting into Ivy League vs. a SA sounds more like an ego driven parent conversation. It is some what of an apple to orange comparison. If a student applies to a SA and...

    What more should I do?

    My son never received 3Q letter or any other info until Friday when he spoke with the MOC who nominated him and gave him the good news about his appointment to USNA. Waiting is the hardest part of the process, what you should do is go have some fun and enjoy yourself. You'll go crazy wondering...
