Congrats & welcome! :yllol::welcome1:

Our cadet was waitlisted in 2011. Then she made the short list. (We did move forward, due to the May 1st date at other colleges. We put down all the deposits, dorms and she had a roommate.) When she did get her appointment on June 1st, it was a blur to get ready for R-day in a few short...

Do you know the exact dates for phase 2?? My 4c just got Va Beach and 2nd phase of Eagle for this summer. Thanks!

Well, I will join you! we are sitting here waiting for her first summer assignment! Ugh..more waiting! But you know that I am stalking your mailbox in spirit with you! Hoping for that BFE! :beer1:

She had her 1st experience in Boston on Eagle last summer. She said it was scary, but climbed to ..the top. (some nest? I forgot the name). Ugh.. Anyways, some local parents were there and I have some nice pics of her first time out, which was awesome. Although she is super stressed out...

We went to two SOAR events last year in Florida. They had an Admissions Rep there and presented a powerpoint presentation on the Academy. It was a great way to ask questions and put a face to a name in Admissions. We also were fortunate enough to tour one of the boats. We traveled to...

Last year we had to send in supplemental paperwork after we finished the online application. With that we had submitted her PFE scores. When she did not get in EA1, we sent in updated PFE scores anytime we submitted additional documentation throughout the process. We tried to show she was...

As a mom of a current 4/C cadet, we looked into validating courses etc. She did well on her AP scores for AB/BC Calc, etc. While on USCGA SOAR events throughout her senior year , some Jr. Officers' opinions were to NOT validate a class, as it would create a heavier courseload your freshman...

Thank you! She is so relieved to be done. I still check these boards every other day or so. I am on the fb site for parents and the PA site. I do have a rising junior in hs so she is starting to check things out. Don't know if it'll be CG or not, but we'll see.

Congratulations to the Class of 2015 who has just completed swab summer! They made it through sea trials and have their liberty tomorrow (as long as they pass room inspections) :rolleyes: Way to go Class of 2015! Go Bears! :thumb: :jump1:

As the mom of a current Swab in Charlie Company, I am putting my own personal feelings about the CGA RISE program aside and focus on the class of 2015 learning to become a team even with all the "diversity" in their class. They have made it through Day 4 and all my thoughts & prayers are...

Congrats on the scholarship! :smile:
