I applied to USCGA and USNA. I found the nomination process a waste of time. I live in a competitive state and found that nominations were still a poor screening process and kids with connections were first in line. Where I live a lot of people are friends and family of politicians, and when I...

Hey there! Congrats. Your future-cadet needs to go into their online acceptance letter and fill out an enrollment form. Within 10-14 days, they will receive a big packet with a leather-bound appointment letter (all service academies do it - it's a pretty big letter with their name on it), and...

Comes in waves. They are still reviewing applicants, and also getting responses back - I am on the Class of 2020 group and a few kids just today have left citing they were accepted to other schools higher on their list such as USAFA and USNA. As these rejections occur, I am sure that admissions...

I wish you the best. Your spirit is what the US military needs. I hope things go well in your press onwards! The military has dozens of opportunities that I'm sure you will enjoy.

Don't give up. Many people are close to getting in and are just short of the cut...it is a sad reality. But there are dozens of cadets right now at USCGA who are second or even third time applicants. I met a student at USNA who was rejected twice before getting in, and by then he was a sophomore...

I don't think they send them by mistake. If you were rejected, I don't think there's a chance for an offer of appointment in class of 2020 unless you were waitlisted. As previously mentioned, some people get appointments but then are accepted into other colleges or academies they'd rather go to...

Actually, one of my best friend's sister went to community college for a year and then reapplied to the Naval Academy and got in. It doesn't really matter if you go to a "true university" or not. A lot of kids applying to service academies are doing it not only for a great education, but the...

Well, actually, according to this post: http://www.serviceacademyforums.com/index.php?threads/early-action-statistics.46339/ EA did receive a majority of appointment -- 194, in fact. The academy is expecting to accept ~300 cadets as they strive to increase the size of the corps. I believe that...

The thing is that it's hard to be "overqualified"...you may just not be involved. Any university does not particularly enjoy accepting a student who just isn't going to go to their school - it's a waste. Yes, applying to a service academy is a bit well-and- beyond what a casual college...

Found out I was admitted today! I'm a recruit and the coach called me and informed me I was selected for appointment. Apparently it's a tough year for CGA so they're really a stickler for all the points - leadership, initiative, desire to serve, motivation, and good academics. My ACT composite...
