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!

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:

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...

Thanks, and good luck to you! :thumb:

Thanks for the advice, I'll check out the blog! And BR2011, it's good to know that it can happen! :smile:

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Yankeesfan, Sam, I'm right with you...it's driving me nuts!

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...

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... ;)

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

Thank you both! (hopefully future classmates):thumb: the workout tips especially appreciated! Good luck to you too!

I'm set to take the test next week. My push-ups and 1.5 mile are on track right now, they have been naturally improved by hockey season, but my sit-ups look very low and i'm on pace for something in the 180-190 range. I think my academics and extracurriculars I'm fairly confident about (3.71 GPA...

thanks, all! I'm mostly worried about the lack of community service type extracurriculars...

Maybe it's annoying of me to ask this, but it was just too tempting...especially regarding extracurriculars, which I'm worried about, how strong an applicant do I look? SAT: Critical Reading 800 Math 660 (but i just retook it so this SHOULD improve...) Writing 710 ACT: 33 composite...
