Anybody out there have above average in all the categories (ACT/SAT, leadership, fitness, academics, sports, community service) and still not get into USCGA? I am curious to hear any anecdotes about your lack of appointment when you were, in fact, confident of getting an appointment. If so...

I emailed my admissions officer about a month or so ago, asking him if I could set up an interview. A week or so later he emailed back saying that they are looking for someone in my area to conduct it, and he would let me know when everything is figured out. Well, here we are and the deadline...

I talked to my coach yesterday, he was one of the people I put down(with phone number) for verification of my varsity athletics, and he said that he had not been contacted by anyone from admissions. This makes me wonder if CGA admissions really goes that far and calls your coaches and people...

I got my application in to USCGA about a week before the application deadline(Jan 15). I am still waiting to hear from DODMERB. Looking at another post it appeared that someone received a conditional appointment before taking the DODMERB. So my question is; Is it possible to get an appointment...

Important: Submit an updated copy of your transcript every time you receive semester or mid-term grades. If you are not satisfied with your PFE score, feel free to resubmit it after improving your fitness level. So does that mean I can retake the PFE even after I submit the application, and the...

When I am filling out the "form" for the recommendation letters to be emailed to teachers, there is a text box that allows you to tie a personal note to the email that is sent. My question; Will anyone from CGA read what I type in this? Could I put suggestions for the teacher to write in the...

So I just finished the application today, as I am planning to apply early action. Honestly Im kind of scared to haha. Anyways, what is with the part of the application where it has you submit you 6 most important ec activities? How does this at all help the admission board develop the applicant...

At boys state a couple months ago I talked to a man who was representing CGA. As I started talking about credentials so he could say "Yes you have a chance or no you dont" I asked him this, "will a 33 in math act compensate for 26 in english and a 27 in reading(these are composite)?" He pretty...

Since you dont need a congressional nomination as you do for the other academies, does the CGA pick the best candidates without considering their place of residence? My point is that nominations limit the number of people qualified for a spot because there might only be a few nominations...

My school recently had a college day and the CGA came to show off what they had. Let me just say I am very interested and this is the only school I plan on applying to. I asked the recruiter/representative of CGA this question, "which sections of the ACT are most important in the application...

Will a 33 Math compensate for a 26 English? I understand that a lot more goes into an application but I was just wondering if this is a reasonable ACT score for someone to be accepted. Thanks!

How does this look for a USCGA application? 33 math ACT 25 English ACT 10 out of 12 on optional writing ACT ~apparently these are the only ones the USCGA looks at so I guess that's all that matters? Im an EMT and am a weekly volunteer at the rescue squad 4.1 GPA/ UW GPA is 4.0 150hrs...

What about for the ACT? Thank you very much!

If ive already taken Dual Enrolled DEVELOPMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY last year..... Should I take AP European History or just AP PSYCHOLOGY? Is admissions going to think that I shouldnt have taken two classes that are pretty similar in nature? Please give a direct answer, not one like "they just...

I have heard from someone that I know that if you apply to another academy as well as the coast guard academy, and you get a nomination for the other academy, the coast guard academy will overlook you because they dont want to waste a spot for you since there is a good chance you will go to the...

I want to play a fall sport this year but do not know what to play? I am just playing a sport bc of the varsity letter and was wondering if admissions would prefer one over the other? I do not care which one I play, I have no preference. Also I will do well on the fitness assessment no matter if...

I recently received an email from USCGA that was pretty long and all about athletics. It said I should fill out a Recruit Questionnaire, but my question is, Im going into Junior year of HS and havent taken SAT or ACT and the form asks for scores. Should I wait until later to fill it out or what...

Im just wondering how many hours volunteering should you have while in high school? And I know that I should shoot for as many as possible and leadership..... What do you classify as volunteer work? Because ive done tons of hours of volunteer work for my church but I never really considered them...
