Trust me, my heart is 110% in this. I wouldn't take a spot from someone if I wasn't. I was just confused about what I was supposed to do about other schools and whether it was standard to have a backup in place in case of something bad. Thank you everyone for clearing it up for me! Sent using...

Thank you very much! I absolutely want to be there, I have since eighth grade. I was just confused because I have seen people suggest on here that you put in a deposit at another school in case an injury or something keeps you from reporting until a year later. (That might not be accurate but...

I don't know if you get one with a conditional appointment, but when I received my (full) appointment I accepted it online and then got a package from them with a nice certificate and papers to send them. I'm not sure if that's what a BFE is but that's the stuff I'm confused about. Sent using...

Cool, I'll look into what everyone has mentioned. Thanks!

So if you go there there's a pretty good chance you can get Coast Guard? I always thought it was a long shot and didn't want to take the chance of spending four years and not getting it...

After going to AIM this summer, I know that the Academy is my number one choice. Since the Coast Guard doesn't have ROTC, are there any common backup plans that still allow you to become an officer? I'm considering NROTC but I'm not sure about the Navy and feel sort of like I'm lying to them by...

Glad to hear it, thank you! I checked their websites and I have until the end of October.

I have always been interested in attending the Coast Guard Academy, but I go back and forth about the Naval Academy. I'm hoping I will be able to make a choice about applying there after I attend AIM at the CGA, but would that be too late to start applying for a nomination? (It's in a couple...
