    Any other 2016 USCGA hopefuls out there who are still waiting?

    Thanks. :smile: I did not receive a phone call so the TWE with the conditional appointment was quite a scare, especially after the emotional fiasco with the "ready for review" TWE last week. Good luck, I hope your son gets an appointment in the next few days!

    Any other 2016 USCGA hopefuls out there who are still waiting?

    Texan'sMom, I received a conditional appointment in the mail just yesterday. I'm further east than texas (assuming that's where you're located based on your username) so it could just be taking a few more days to reach you. :thumb:

    Is it too late?

    Hi all, Today I received a conditional appointment to CGA. The letter said I need to get my medical exam done by April 15th, but I had never received the instructions saying how to schedule and exam and who the providers were, so now I'm scrambling to get this done. If I call DoDMERB...

    Applying as a college sophomore

    Hello all, I show up on this board every year around this time. :) I'm a sophomore in college, and I applied to the Academy as a senior in high school, and I started to apply again last year but was unable to finish my application for various reasons (no math class, for one, for a teacher...

    How to Reapply?

    Thank you so much for your advice. The reason I'm taking humanities classes is I'm a journalism major; it's what I applied to my college for and I see it as a career alternative to the Coast Guard that has potential to help people. Should I explain this in the essay portion? I'll definitely...

    How to Reapply?

    I am playing club ice hockey here, and I live very close to a gym where students work out for free so I am anticipating my PFE score going up. Also, my school works on a quarter system so I will be taking at least eight more classes this year. I'll try to register for a math class next...

    How to Reapply?

    Hi all, I am also reapplying this year, but I was not wait listed last year...does that hurt my chances? And how much does what you decide to study in college affect admissions? I am taking tons of humanities courses this quarter, but does that make me look like I am not interested in...

    Waivers

    I am a senior in high school... I applied to the Air Force Academy and received a congressional nomination but was medically disqualified and denied a waiver for a lung condition that I had 15 years ago. I was wondering if I might be able to receive a medical waiver for AFROTC even though I...

    CFA?

    So I took my CFA today...I think I failed...anyways, I was wondering if each event is given an equivalent score and then added up like the CGA PFE or if each event simply has a minimum that must be met and failing one event means failing the whole thing... my scores (I'm a girl...a weak one...

    Importance of an interview?

    Alright, thanks everyone. I think I'm going to not do the interview, it might look bad being scheduled this late..either way I'm not really the best interviewer. I trip over my words... ;)

    Importance of an interview?

    Sorry I forgot to add- does anyone have numbers as to how many applicants are generally admitted with/without interview?

    Importance of an interview?

    Though USCGA says that an interview is "optional but highly recommended," is it truly optional? For many of the schools I'm applying to with optional interviews, having an interview can help your app but not having one won't hurt you. Is the same thing true for CGA or would admissions take a...
