Don't read too much into this. I posted it because DS sent me the link today and we have been cracking up about it. USCGA is in good company with the USMMA and USNA also in the top 5 (bottom 5?) https://www.princetonreview.com/college-rankings?rankings=least-happy-students

I'm just a parent, so please allow others to confirm or contradict this ascertion... I believe that all cadets regardless of major will have to complete Calculus I and II, Chemistry I and II, and Physics I and II. I do not believe that credits can be transferred to USCGA, but each department...

Like 98% of the other parents dropping off their swab on R=Day, we were encouraged to pay to join the USCGA Parents Association. For $400 they make us a member for the duration of our child's stay at the academy. We were added to the local chapter and receive a few publications a year and...

Where is this occurring, SA Forum, Facebook, etc...? I have not witnessed a single post from a parent claiming they are entitled?

The free livestream is still available at livestream.com/CGA The last three CGA livestream events are as follows: Women's Leadership Symposium (1 month ago - 83 views) Commandant's Address (March 1 - 834 views) Billet Night 2017 (March 2 - 4,329 views) The immense popularity of this will not...

We watched a large portion of the livestream Billet Night the other night. It was free. We just clicked on the link provided by the USCGA Parents Association. It was entertaining and enjoyable. Didn't appear at all like any cloak and dagger secret society event. They read off names of...

Most people come to these forums looking for assistance with applications and admissions questions. This site delivers on that with a wide variety of knowledgeable and experienced posters. Parents, current cadets, former cadets, admissions partners, official academy personnel, etc... all...

LITS, are you stating for the record the following.... The civilian accuser DID NOT drop all charges. The football player and his accuser DID NOT have a prior romantic relationship. The accuser of the football player DID NOT ask to be released from her service obligation to the Coast Guard...

This is a huge misrepresentation of my comments. Was I given erroneous information regarding the civilian case being dropped, yet pursued by CGIS? Please correct the record then. Was I given erroneous information regarding an ongoing relationship between the accused and the accuser prior to...

It's terrible to see young lives derailed. These are serious accusations with significant consequences. What are the FACTS? Most of us only know what we read in a couple of publications. Those articles do not give details or any mitigating circumstances. Is it safe at USCGA? Is justice...

This thread is an Appointment Thread for Class of 2020. Your "what are my kid's chances" post should be in another thread. Those are excellent ACT scores but that's not enough. Leadership? Athletics? AIM? Motivation to serve? The "chance me" threads are usually in vogue during the...

I appreciate the comments and thoughts LITS and Capt MJ. You all clearly understand the inner workings of the SA's far better than I. My limited knowledge comes mostly from the forums, my visits to New London, and what 3C DS reluctantly tells me. My initial post on this topic was to get...

LITS, I enjoy your posts and agree with you often on many things, but I think that we need the process to play out here. Simply booting 'em may not be practical. What if this incident included 50 or more cadets with the potential for significantly varying degrees of involvement? When the...

NEW LONDON, Conn. -A group of third class cadets is currently under investigation regarding a potential violation of the Academy’s Honor Concept. The case involves alleged unauthorized collaboration on online quizzes. The situation is currently under investigation and no further details are...

Has DD considered the SAT? Some students fair better on that test than the ACT for various reasons. DD should at least talk to reps from other Service Academies about their opportunities and chances for flight school. Most applicants apply to multiple SA to increase their chances of a...
