    Rep. Courtney speaks out against efforts to change USCGA admissions policy

    What a great speaker... focused and takes things in steps. Did he graduate from USCGA in Government? :shake:

    College Re-Applicant

    The USCGA looks very favorably upon second-year applicants who do well at college with a 4th class-esque schedule. Reapplying from college shows the Academy that you have serious drive to become a cadet since you will start over from scratch at the Academy as a 4/c. I was a re-applicant last...

    Letters of Recommendation

    Coast Guard Academy Competitiveness?

If anything, I think that an individual being disciplined at a university is more impressive as it displays self-motivation and the sheer determination that one needs to be successful at the USCGA.

    Conditional Appointment

    Sorry for the sparse message before, I was pretty upset and my capacity to type was compromised :smile:. As I said, my waiver was disapproved, and I'm reasonably disappointed. However, I'm happy to have some sense of closure (unless my AO calls back with some miracle, lol). I'd still like to...

    AIM items not on the list?

    I seem to remember the list being pretty complete. Bring plenty of underwear and socks since you'll be going through those really quickly.

    Conditional Appointment

    Waiver request forwarded to Superintendent... hopefully there is still enough time for it to be processed should the Superintendent O.K. it. Only 7 more days until the deadline. -Andrew
