Thanks for the quick reply and explanation Trackandfield!

Just saw a pic of my DD during CGAS PFE's and noticed she was wearing a black armband/wristband. I assume this means limited to no participation due to some sort of illness or injury. Can anyone confirm my assumption and elaborate on the likely severity?

My thanks to everyone who has offered advice on a variety of topics. Unfortunately my initial question remains unanswered: Approximately how much will miscellaneous expenses (books, computer, uniforms, dry cleaning, etc) total for my DD during her 4 years at CGA? Do the expenses listed...

Thanks Physicsguru. I will contact MMI for their expenses. Hopefully, someone (maybe a current 1/c, recent grad or Objee) can provide some direction on uniform, book, computer and miscellaneous expenses at CGA as well, so I can better understand the broader picture.

You summed it up better than I did Jebdad when you said: "I think the OP is saying that they have saved money in a 529 over the years and now find themself in a position of not having to use it for this child. They want to use the 529 money they had saved for this child and allocated to this...

Thanks for the quick reply and explanation. Do you happen to recall approximately what the expenses to your white card totaled? I was prepared to pay for a significant portion of DD's college expenses before she got into CGA. I would like to use those funds to cover as much of her CGA...

My DD is very fortunate to be in CGAS. Baring the unforeseen she should be joining the CGA class of 2019 next year. My wife and I opened a 529 plan for her years ago and would like to use some of those funds to offset the expenses our DD will incur at CGA (e.g., uniforms, books, computer...

Thanks for your offer to help Objee. Just sent you a PM.

Objee, DD was moved from CGAS wait list to CGAS class of 2015 in early Feb. She sent an email to LT. Herold within 3 days saying "I accept" and recently sent in administrative and medical paperwork that we found on line (apparently not due until April but wanted to get a head start). She has...

Thanks for explaining the provisional appointment process. Good to know she'll actually have something in writing that as long as she does X,Y,Z and doesn't do 1, 2, 3 she is appointed. The facebook page is proving very informative - thanks for mentioning that as well. :smile:

eep, My DD gets an email whenever there is new activity on the portal. She received such an email Tuesday, logged in and saw the official CGAS appointment letter. I don't get any notification, it all goes directly to her. As far as first come first serve, I really don't know. I know my...

She got an email on Monday and portal was updated Tuesday afternoon with the official "congratulations" letter.

CGAS 2015 DD got email yesterday indicating that she was moved from the wait list into the CGAS class of 2015. Our whole family is delighted, although it still doesn't seem quite real just yet. Any current or former Scholars care to offer feedback on either MMI or GMC, or their experience in...

Thanks for all the good wishes. They are appreciated. Our whole family is delighted, although it also doesn't seem quite real just yet - odd. Does anyone know if the Scholars have an option between GMC and MMI, or does the CGA assign students to each location as they see fit? Any current...

DD just found out she has been moved from the wait list and offered a spot in the Scholars Program class of 2015!!! :biggrin:
