And 3 years ago, the first appointments were 10 December....so who knows! I think appointments were unusually late that year though.They should start to trickle out anytime. Two years ago DS1 received his appointment on 1 Nov.
This! Some offers are easier to pass on than others, but when they've got great offers and great schools, the waiting is so hard!Ugh, not yet for us. The waiting game is killer! USCGA is a clear first choice for DS. so hard when schools that are recruiting him for athletics are getting impatient for an answer.
Well, that didn't help my excitement over waiting on a decision...I would guess that by the end of next week there will be some movement.

Yes, they just started meeting and will meet on Thursdays and will release decisions on Fridays IN YOUR BEAR DEN ACCOUNT (not a physical letter). Hang in there. The waiting is the worst part.I would guess that by the end of next week there will be some movement.
I think it is just as difficult, if not more so, for the parents than for the kids. DS is so busy, not sure it's even in his crosscheck.Yes, they just started meeting and will meet on Thursdays and will release decisions on Fridays IN YOUR BEAR DEN ACCOUNT (not a physical letter).

That is different than I heard at a program just a couple weeks ago. I didn't think they did waitlists for EA, only for Regular applications. That must have changed from the past couple years. At the event I helped at, they even mentioned that they used to do waitlists for EA, but haven't done that for a few years.We just got back from an overnight invitational at USCGA. Two important things to note:
1. If you applied for EA you will have one of the outcomes by Christmas Eve- Appoint, CGAS, defer to regular review (with a detailed letter about what they would like to see, for example- fall semester grades, test scores, higher PFE scores, etc.), do not appoint, waitlist, CGAS waitlist
*** 2. The board meets on Thursdays. Decisions are released Fridays. IT WILL BE POSTED IN A LETTER IN YOUR BEAR DEN ACCOUNT!!! (So check your Bear Den account on Fridays after you get the email saying you’re up for review, instead of hanging around the mailbox waiting for a physical letter).
Hope this helps. Best of luck to everyone.
You may be correct about that regarding waitlists for EA… I was taking notes during the brief and this information was towards the end of the program that was already running a bit behind schedule so it may be that the LT who said that sits on the admissions board put out all of the decision options and I didn’t realize he had switched from talking about EA to RA. But regardless, those are all of the possible outcomes. Also, one of the cadets who is a current freshman at the academy said he was an EA and didn’t get pulled off of the waitlist and offered a full regular appointment until MAY! So it could be a long ride but everyone hang in there!That is different than I heard at a program just a couple weeks ago. I didn't think they did waitlists for EA, only for Regular applications.

Happy Veterans Day to all those who previously wore the cloth of our nation. Our office is closed today, but we're hoping to be able to begin releasing decisions from the first few Early Action rounds next week once the Superintendent has reviewed them.Nothing yet. Hoping sometime this afternoon
