Does anyone know if they have finished with the early action decisions? I know 12/24 is deadline for decisions but is that only for the ones who did not receive appointments?

Son received call Monday night. Proud Mom and Dad here. He did not think he had much of a chance after not getting slot for AIM....
all applicants go through DoDMERB. At least all the competitive ones, according to: http://www.cga.edu/admissions2.aspx?id=81Is getting notification from Dodmerb to schedule appointments a good sign for appointment or do all applicants go thru that process?
Thank you, that is what I thought.all applicants go through DoDMERB. At least all the competitive ones, according to: http://www.cga.edu/admissions2.aspx?id=81
I support all academies.James, how can you play sports at the Coast Guard Academy if you are going to "West Pointy?" I'm confused...
Make sure you connect with the 2020 parents FB page, and he connects with the appointees page.My son just got the call tonight for an appointment! Whoo hoo! We are excited!
He has a choice to make now, USNA Foundation school (then matriculate class of 2021) or USCGA direct appointment class of 2020. Oh what a great problem to have!Make sure you connect with the 2020 parents FB page, and he connects with the appointees page.
My son had a full appointment to the USNA as well as CGA. He chose CGA. It was all in his desire to serve the homeland. Ask him what his definition of service is. It might help the decision process.He has a choice to make now, USNA Foundation school (then matriculate class of 2021) or USCGA direct appointment class of 2020. Oh what a great problem to have!
I know for years it was all about wanting to be a SEAL and the USNA, that is until he went to AIM last summer, then he said he really liked the USCGA. I do think the size appealed to him. He is really going to have to think it through. So tough to turn down either!My son had a full appointment to the USNA as well as CGA. He chose CGA. It was all in his desire to serve the homeland.

I agree. AIM helped to seal the deal with the CGA. They made him feel as though he was already part of the family. Wanting to be a Seal is a great goal. Not a sure thing though. Make sure he chooses for the big picture of the school and service mission, rather than a specific job. Trust me, I love the Navy. My husband and I both are retired Navy. Just the thoughts of a retiree with a son that recently made the choice.I know for years it was all about wanting to be a SEAL and the USNA, that is until he went to AIM last summer, then he said he really liked the USCGA.
