I definitely used this site as a tool to learn from those who have walked before me, but like you said about the anonymity of online sites like these, I would rather be gone than risk my chances with someone finding out my true identity.

How does one delete their service academy forums account?

When I said overqualified I meant well above average. Someone who is the track star valedictorian with 2300+ SAT who is also class president seems overqualified, to me at least, now I realize that may have been the wrong word to use.

I really am not trying to portray myself as overqualified, but I do feel I have a decent chance. Yes- I have know a few other people who have been stellar candidates, with seemingly above average credentials who have not gotten in. So that is what worries me. One of these was a close friend of...

Anybody out there have above average in all the categories (ACT/SAT, leadership, fitness, academics, sports, community service) and still not get into USCGA? I am curious to hear any anecdotes about your lack of appointment when you were, in fact, confident of getting an appointment. If so...

When did you get this notification? And were you regular action?

You guess that your DS is Dodmerb qualified?

Not unless you got really good credentials, at least better than those in regular action. It quite possible though.

That is just what I expected.

It means regular action.

I talked to my coach yesterday, he was one of the people I put down(with phone number) for verification of my varsity athletics, and he said that he had not been contacted by anyone from admissions. This makes me wonder if CGA admissions really goes that far and calls your coaches and people...
