I would recommend that those that did not make the class of 2014 reevaluate their applications and their intentions. The first question to answer is "do I truly want to go to the Academy". If the answer is still yes, then by all means reapply and when you do, remember that in your application, you must not only have good grades, SAT scores and sports but you must also convince the admissions board that you truly want a career in the Coast Guard because that is truly what the Academy is about. I would also suggest that you submit new essays and apply early leaving yourself time to submit supplemental information if suggested by admissions. Looking at the SAT scores from prior years gives you an idea as what is required to actually get in. If your scores are below those averages, then perhaps you should take an SAT review course or at least purchase a book and diligently review practice exams before retaking the SATs. Since this was suggested to us only two weeks before the last available SAT test, my son purchased the book and diligently studied practice exams every day for the remaining 2 weeks. He was able to get his combined score of 1140 to 1200 in the two weeks. When resubmitting your application, make sure that you give it your absolutely best shot. Good luck to all future cadets. The Coast Guard Academy is a fantastic school leading to a fantastic career of service.
