The CGA Scholars (there are about 70 between the three prep schools) have not gotten their appointments yet, either. Don't despair. There is a lot going on behind the scenes to get to the magic 270 or so and I believe appointments are made up to May and even June. Good luck everyone!
USCGA scholars reported July 12th last summer. The program helps with scholars' flights to CGA and then again when they head to their prep schools. You'll learn more about all of that in the coming weeks/months at the info sessions that I highly recommend you attend. Exciting!
Totally agree with the above comments unless for some reason you are unsure about attending CGA and want more info on what it is like to attend. On the other hand, if you're all in then no point in visiting again in my opinion. This trip would be expensive, time consuming and you'll be there in...

My daughter was accepted to CGAS this time last year and is currently at GMC. She says she's happy to assist with any questions about it so just let us know. Best of luck!
DD applied EA last year and on 12/23 got an offer to CGAS. Remember at CGA about 70 or 1/3 of the students attend prep before the Academy. Prep offers come throughout the application cycle I believe and there are prep waitlists also. Admissions has a LOT of moving parts. Good Luck everyone!!
Incoming prep class is 70 this year, according to Capt. Fredie's letter to our prepster, dated 4/2/21.
And I believe the average percentage of prepsters who receive appointments to be around 80%.
