    USCGA 2021 Appointments

    No. Staff and cadets don't get the same time off. Last year, the last round of EA decisions came out on December 23rd. Also, you must remember that an applicant can receive 1 of 5 possible decisions; acceptance, rejection, waitlist, CGAS acceptance or CGAS waitlist. Applying to any service...

    AIM Application

    Don't get hung up on the fact that you were rejected from AIM admission. Honestly, that's not a predictor to gaining an appointment to CGA. My DS was rejected from AIM last year. As a result, he was invited to attend CFAD. He loved it and received his full appointment to the class of 2020...

    Advice for a Frustated Dad Please.

    Congratulations F15DOC. Job well done to both you and your son. You supported him when he needed it and I believe that he made the best choice, but I am certainly biased. I have a son that will be a firstie next year and my youngest DS will be starting swab summer on June 27th along with your...

    Wait listers

    My DS was EA waitlisted and received a phone call from the crew coach on March 22nd letting him know that he was appointed to the class of 2020. His Bear's Den was updated about a week later with his appointment letter. It's my understanding that from this point forward, anyone that receives...

    Wait listers

    My DS was EA waitlisted on 12/23/2015 and received his full appointment on 03/30/2016 and has already mailed back his acceptance to the Class of 2020. My fingers are crossed for all those still waiting. On previous threads I've said this, but it bears repeating. If your DS or DD doesn't...

    R-Day Worth Attending?

    USCGA has an even better resource, his name is Paul Duddy and he is a Godsend. He is the unofficial photographer for all cadet related activities at the Academy. As long as you have joined the USCGA Parents Class of 2020 FB page, you will see the hundreds of photos that PD posts daily. During...

    USCGA 2020 appointments

    If it is not in the cards for him this year, all hope is not lost. He can go with his plan B for next year and mirror the 4th class course load. If he does really well in his classes, he can always reapply next year. My DS is currently a 2nd class and most of his friends are a year older than...

    Now for the long wait!....

    Since the RA notification process concludes on April 1st, is it possible for waitlisted applicants to begin being notified April 2nd (technically)?

    Now for the long wait!....

    My son is currently a 2nd class. He applied regular decision 3 years ago and received his unconditional appointment on February 28th. Hope this helps.

    Wait list: Is this good? Possible Appointment Available Later?

    lombco, I wish your daughter much luck. CGA is an amazing institution. My 2nd class has had nothing but the most wonderful experiences during his past 2 1/2 years. It's awesome to see him grow and flourish under the constant watch, supervision and nurturing that he receives. He has been...

    Wait list: Is this good? Possible Appointment Available Later?

    Can anyone shed some light on what the regular decision statistics were from the class of 2019. Are they usually lower than the EA stats? My son applied EA for the class of 2020 and his scores are right in line with the EA stats, but he has been wait listed. This came as a shock to us, because...

    Wait list: Is this good? Possible Appointment Available Later?

    If an EA applicant has been wait listed, is there any possibility that they will be reviewed again under RD?
