We’re in the same boat in Virginia. Picking up cap and gown next week. Hope he gets to use. But really hoping to hear some good newsStill HOLD here in Ohio. DD has been HOLD for about a month. Still hopeful but really need some positive news soon since Ohio has closed schools for the remainder of the year and is continuing online learning! So many unknowns for his senior year still and praying for at least a walk across the stage for graduation!
Best wishes to everyone. Fingers still crossed and prayers still said. You will have an answer soon.

What's going on at TAMUG?Yes, my DS is HOLDing as well. Boat captain or bust for that one.... MMI is secured for Plan B because TAMU Galveston is in disarray.
As reported by current student and their parent, there are leadership issues but the bulk of the problems pertain to their broken training vessel that is causing serious problems for training hours and results in having to borrow from other Maritime schools which is adding cost and forced an additional trip to get the needed hours.What's going on at TAMUG?
Thanks. Had heard about some of that. My DD enjoyed and benefitted greatly from her year at TAMUG but is looking forward to reporting to the USCGA in June (pandemic permitting).As reported by current student and their parent, there are leadership issues but the bulk of the problems pertain to their broken training vessel that is causing serious problems for training hours and results in having to borrow from other Maritime schools which is adding cost and forced an additional trip to get the needed hours.
The facilities are great and we enjoyed the tour, but when it comes down to the day to day, it sounds like it has been a bad experience of late for people in the program.

Good luck @shiner and @ohiomom2!
Thanks so much for sharing, very appreciated!Our son is currently a USMMA Junior.
1) This is the hardest part. The waiting. Our son got an email on 28 April 2017 and then a phone call from his Congressman while at school. Many were accepted through May and even into early June.
2) Our son has had zero trouble getting the required sea days despite COVID issue. The ATR officers have gone out of their way to get these kids on track and the USCG has given them bonus time to get their required hours.
3) Hold fast and we are praying for you and your kids!
