    Preparing for the plebe year?

    This is false. Some AP credits are taken, like a 5 on AP Lang or Lit will validate English I and there are many other AP validations as well. The information should be on the website.

    USNA vs. USCGA

    I was faced with the same situation last year deciding between the two, and I'll admit that it was a much harder decision than I thought it would be. Since a kid I had always wanted Naval but after looking at Coast Guard and being recruited for football there, the two became very close...

    Bucket list before plebe summer

    As a current plebe, I have one word for you: friends. If I have one regret from my senior year or from high school in general it is that I didn't spend enough time with friends. I was always so locked on to getting into the Academy that it wasn't until after I accepted my appointment that I...

    Been a great ride

    Well it's been an honor, but as of today I have declined my appointment to the Coast Guard Academy and will be attending the United States Naval Academy starting June 30. Thanks for all of your help and information about USCGA.

    spondylolysis waiver

    I know this is an old thread but I'm hoping those e-mails will pop up again and draw attention to it. Any idea how soon those waivers could be obtained after being reported?

    AIM questions

    Since you're asking about getting accepted I'm assuming you haven't heard yet. Do NOT worry if you don't. I was denied and was still one of the real early Early Action appointees. Acceptance or non-acceptance to AIM does not say whether or not you can get in to the Academy so don't lose hope...

    Waiver Hypothetical

    Thanks for all of the replies. I'm still going to be with the team, and then just hope nothing happens.

    Waiver Hypothetical

    So I am a baseball player who has already accepted my appointment to the Academy. If I were to get hurt (knock on wood) later in the season, would it still be possible to gain a waiver in time if I could make it back to being healthy before I-day? With the appointment now accepted and being so...

    NA Summer Seminar

    @TexasSoccerMom Boy's State is awesome too. I know a guy who went to SLE (West Point's version of NASS), and he had an admissions guy tell him that Boy's State was equivalent to Eagle Scout on the whole candidate score.

    NA Summer Seminar

    Just want to put my own two cents in, if anybody doesn't get a NASS acceptance or is one of those people who gets it the last week before the deadline, don't freak out or think your chances are shot. I was a 3-time rejected applicant for STEM and got my NASS acceptance the last week possible (I...

    USCGA vs. USNA

    Ditto with what Captain MJ said about visiting. I was the exact same way. I had been dead set on USNA ever since I was little kid but then I became really interested in USCGA once I started seriously looking my junior year. It was the visits and events like NASS and CVW that really set USNA...

    To All Who Have Been Rejected for USNA STEM...

    First, let me clarify, this is in no way a post that is in any way angry towards being rejected in years past for the STEM summer program, rather it is a message of hope to those who have been in the same boat and still hope to apply for an appointment to USNA. Every year I was able to apply...
