    What to expect at this point?

    I am a freshmen at NC State and this is my first year applying to the CGA. Like a majority of the applicants I made myself as competitive as possible. I had a 1350 SAT (690 Math, 660 Reading) and my first semester gpa was a 3.81 (general first year engineering courses). I even spent a...

    How to check status?

    Is there some type of portal that updates when a decision has been made on your application? Or do all notifications come through email now?

    Competitive College Applicant

    I know these "chances" post are annoying, but the CGA does not really posts statistics for college students that were appointed. In high school I was 6th out of 370 with all honors/AP courses, did several ECs, varsity sports throughout the fall, spring, and winter, several volunteer hours...

    Waivers for the Coast Guard academy

    I fail the DODMERB requirements for hearing and I am trying to find the branches I am eligible to commission in. I recently found out that the Navy or Marine Corps does not waive hearing loss for officers. I have been looking into the Coast Guard Academy and can't find a definitive answer to...

    Here is some background information. I have had mild hearing loss since I was 5. At that age I was given hearing aids at and as I grew older, I wore them less and less. In high school I rarely wore them and still excelled in school. My senior year of high school I applied to the USNA and...

    Do I need to choose my top 5 schools if I'm a reapplicant?

    This fall I will be a freshmen at NC State and a reapplicant for the NROTC scholarship. On the part of the application where you pick your top 5 schools, it says all applications must have 5 choices or else it won't be reviewed. Do I need to choose 5 schools and apply to all them even though I...

    Reapplicant for NROTC advice?

    I am going to be a rising freshmen at NC State this school year. My senior year of high school I applied for the USNA and a NROTC scholarship, but unfortunately I was rejected from both.

    Good, bad, or neutral news?

    I was medically disqualified for hearing loss and have been pending a waiver since late December. From what I believe, correct me if I'm wrong, the Naval Academy looks at applications in slates. Does that mean they look at all applications from a specific area or city? I recently talked to my...

    Hearing Waivers?

    I completed my application and DODmerb around mid-December. However I failed the hearing exam - I've had minor hearing loss since I was about 5. It's not that big of an issue, as I have gotten great grades and excelled in school (ranked 6 of 331). My SATs were average- 1250 2 part 690 M, 560...
