Thanks so much for the great advice everyone. Very appreciated !

@alaska66 Thanks again and duly noted. I will pass this information along to her and allow her to really consider all the facts. I think she felt it was easier to take foreign language at Conn College, particularly if it was a critical language, but seems that is not case and it would be wise...

Thank you alaska66. We've definitely spent a lot of time pouring over the catalog for USCGA and I think what she needs to figure out right now is her path within the Academy (currently it's Marine & Environmental Science) and how important languages are to her. She's studying German and...

Thanks Cidgrad130. I appreciate your responses and it's all excellent advice. We're in New Jersey and PE is required unless you have a medical issue, she's a 2 sport varsity athlete but it doesn't get her out of PE unfortunately. There are no alternate options at all for earning those...

My daughter got the AIM rejection letter this morning. She had already moved on and accepted a different summer college program...and will do one of the shadowing options they mentioned. Hoping someone in here got one of those waitlist spots.

Not here but I think those offered spots have until next week to accept.

Don't view this as any sort of failure ...take the opportunity to do cadet for a day if offered and keep...

That's what I've heard as well. I believe 500 spots?

Congrats :) I wish we had better news

Yup same here. Also I really wanted her to see what a taste of swab summer would be like so she made an informed decision when applying. I'm

Waitlisted. She's very disappointed. Will look and see if it's too late to get her into her Plan B summer program. Good luck and congrats to those accepted.
