    Check AirBnb as well. Several in the New London/Mystic area. Some are nicer than others.

    Appointment

    Congrats to those getting appointments! Please don't discount an appointment to Prep School. This is an awesome opportunity and one that should not be looked at as "second best". Many who have gone through CGAS do much better 4/C year than their direct appointment counterparts. Yes, it's...

    Application for the Class of 2020

    The application for you doesn't open up until August of your Senior year. However, the AIM (Academy Introduction Mission) opens up for you in February 2018. Something you may consider to get a first hand look at academy life. Also, you would be applying for the Class of 2023, not 2020...

    Running Start

    As KLC said, leadership opportunities are likewise important. Take the hardest classes you can. Dual Enrollment classes are great but you also need to understand that if you receive an appointment you still have to start out as a college freshman. You may be able to test out of some of the...

    Coach's weight on an application?

    There are no guaranteed appointments for "recruited athletes" at CGA. The coaches can submit a list of "recruits", but the candidate still has to be highly qualified in all areas. "Average grades and test scores" typically don't see appointments. I guess it depends on what you consider...

    Bank account

    We (and my son) prefer USAA. USAA also provides the Firstie Career Starter Loans. Even though USAA is not on campus, with direct deposit, automatic ATM Fee refunds, etc, they are still the best in my opinion. Especially when it comes to them getting their own car insurance (much less...

    Recruited Athlete Stats?

    That's a great suggestion for her.

    Recruited Athlete Stats?

    There are not as many "recruited athletes" as you probably think. Also remember that being "recruited" for a NCAA DIII institution is much different than being recruited for a DI school. The applicant must still be highly qualified and at CGA, fall within height/weight standards. To answer...

    DoDMERB

    No, there is no precise deadline that you will be submitted by any Academy Admissions Department for a DODMERB physical that I know of. Sometimes it is quick, sometimes it will take a few weeks. I've read of them going out in batches. Don't forget, if you've applied for multiple academies...

    DoDMERB

    Once an Academy deems you are competitive, (any Academy), they will submit your name to DODMERB. DODMERB through DODMETS arranges for your DOD Physical where they will contact you via email, have you register on their site and then assign you to a clinic/physician local to your residence. You...

    AIM 2017

    She will always have the opportunity to interview with her application. With CGA, an Interview is optional. It is entirely up to the applicant. I recommend it for those who are confident and well spoken. It would never count against them if they choose not to do the interview.
