The Director of Admissions asked me to post this:
I sincerely apologize for any confusion on the notification of AIM decisions. We released our official decisions at approximately 2:30 PM EDT on Friday, May 1st, and at this point all decisions are properly loaded. Prior to that time, our team was working behind the scenes testing the system and soon learned that a default letter from a previous AIM program was mistakenly associated with some accounts. We were made aware of this early Friday morning and immediately locked the site to correct this unintended mistake. I fully recognize and appreciate the apprehension and confusion something like this can cause.
AIM is a great program and we would love to have everyone attend that wants to, but unfortunately we can only take a certain amount each year. Be assured, we have many programs available both on campus and across the country at Coast Guard units and other venues. For those who received an acceptance congratulations, for those who did not, rest assured that over 63% of applicants who received appointments to the incoming Class of 2019 did not attend AIM. Not attending AIM does not impact your application should you choose to apply for the Class of 2020.
Again, I apologize for any confusion this may have caused and wish you all nothing but fair winds and following seas as you begin your college selection journey.
Go Bears!
