Understood. I guess I am just curious if anyone has gotten into the prep school with these types of numbers.??As far as I have seen, the prep schools do not release this information - as each applicant is actually applying for admission to the service academy, I would look at each SA's web sites to determine how your DS's package compares to that of those admitted (in this case, see https://www.uscga.edu/typical-class-profile/).
IMHO, the goal is to get into the USCGA -- these SAT scores are below the published mean scores, so I would work on test preparation and take the SAT again in the fall.
Have him contact the coaching staff and see what they say. He could always contact the USMMA coaching staff for a second opinion. They will tell him if he's "recruitable" and if there could be a slot for him at the prep school. Good luck.I am interested in the academic requirements for prep school. My son scored an 1100 on his SAT and has a 3.4 GPA. He is a recruited athlete. Is there any chance he will qualify for prep school with these academic numbers?
Does USCGA have its own Prep school ? In the old days (1980), USCGA prep went to NAPS. As far as I know, USNA doesn't publish Prep School stats, and there is no Prep application -- NAPS is an option that Admissions Board has when they identify an otherwise promising candidate , but think he/she needs an additional year of preparation for one reason or another.Is there any chance he will qualify for prep school with these academic numbers?
Not sure if they have multiple prep schools, but USCGA sends some to MMI (Marion, AL).Does USCGA have its own Prep school ? In the old days (1980), USCGA prep went to NAPS.

I would expect that is like the USNA FOUNDATION program -- Admissions identifies promising candidates, and turns them over to the Foundation, which is a separate legal entity and uses private funding to send the candidates to one of a list of selected prep schools. My question was whether USCGA also has its own prep school, or sends candidates to NAPS still. Each of USNA, USAFA, and USMA have their own prep schools, where the Candidates enlist in the respective service, and have a direct means of entry into their service academy; frankly, I wouldn't expect USCGA to have their own program given their relatively smaller class sizes.Not sure if they have multiple prep schools, but USCGA sends some to MMI (Marion, AL).
CGA uses NAPS and two MJCs (Marion Military and Georgia Military). Like USNA, a student can't apply for a prep school, but has to apply for direct appointment and be selected by Admissions for prep.Does USCGA have its own Prep school ?
