    USCGA Class of 2024 Appointment Thread

    They can take them out at the Academy - they schedule an appointment with a local dentist as needed off campus grounds.

    Admissions PFE

    Cadre at swab summer have a special place for the lower PFE performers and most swabs / cadets I met / know did not want to go there. Intense Physical Training - for two days with your own attentive cadre to make sure you get the most from the experience. And don't worry if you don't make the...

    Regular Action application prioritization process?

    If there is concern, would suggest DD reach out to AO for her geographic area just to confirm she is scheduled at some point for review as they could advise status.

    Regular Action application prioritization process?

    While we could speculate on the review order, I wanted to share what Admissions have communicated in the past that there is always at least 1 appointment still available until the last applicant has been reviewed. Basically if CGA had 100 RA openings they just don't pick the first 100 they...

    Wait listed

    Based on DS experience. Last year the official wait list closed June 1st. The year prior it stayed open till mid June. Basically there are two main rounds. Vacancies from those who don't accept by May 1st and then a second round to replace those who do not pass DODMERB. How long it stays open is...

    Admission Stage

    All RA will know a decision (appointed; waitlist; denied) by April 1st. There are at least a few more rounds of appointments left in RA to come between now and end of March. Based on prior years, the last round of appointments comes near the end of March. So possibly 6 more weeks of waiting for...

    Big wave...

    No as the CGA appointments are much less. They will be given out on a rolling basis until the end of RA. Candidate will be notified they are up for review and if very highly competitive will hear a result a few weeks later. Not hearing straight away is not a bad sign as there is still a chance...

    Early Action Application Question

    Candidate is done for class year once they get their EA rejection. Would have to reapply for the following class year post next summer/fall - and if a freshman in college, re-application would be part of RA instead of EA.

    Appointment

    Question comes up every year as to when the next announcements will come out. Going to quote Objee from 2015 that all will get decision by 24th. Admittedly Objee was giving more status back in 2015. Guess the warm weather is keeping Objee out of the office.

    Application

    Only re-applicants in their first year of college are not allowed to do EA. All other college applicants that opted to do EA will be reviewed as part of EA. From the CGA website: . Re-applying students in their first academic year following their non-selection decision are not eligible to apply...

    College Applicant Acceptance Rate

    I can see where this question would make sense at a bigger college where the size of the class is large and ratio of applicants to acceptances is closer - such as AF Academy who said at the last Academy day I attended that only approximately 2600 completed the application for review for 1300...

    Appointment

    Looking at it from my DS experience with EA a few years back, there are initial rounds of review for all applicants where it seems three things happen: 1- appointment offer given -top candidates, LOA candidates 2- rejection 3- delayed decision (appointment, rejection, wait list) to be made later...

    Dodmerb for USCGA

    Always have a solid plan B. Many more DoDMERB requests go out than final offers that are given. My DS went down this path twice with no success other than passing DoDMERB. The good news is that your DD will know by December 24th one way or another so will have time to work on plan B if needed...

    Early Admission Email

    Yes, usually webpage and email will be where the decision comes first. He may get the email first advising of a decision having been posted but still have to check out Bear Den account for decision. For some candidates that are being recruited by a coach they may get a phone call direct from the...

    Early Admission Email

    We should be seeing some offers being given by early November but others even if already reviewed may not hear anything until one of the later review/appointment boards meets. My DS two years back did not get a decision until late December but was reviewed in October of that year. So for any...

    How big of a factor is the PFE scores?

    PFE is just one factor of many considered by CGA. Obviously a bad PFE score (such as 130) would probably negatively impact a candidate but once you get close to 200 and above, it seems to be more about what else the candidate brings to the CGA - meaning that someone with a 200 PFE may get an...

    Standardized Test Scores

    Would not be the first time that what is stated and what actually happens is different. We were told back in 2015 by admissions for class of 2020 that super scoring did not happen across ACT & SAT. At same time we were also told that nobody from regular admissions got on the wait list but that...

    Standardized Test Scores

    Feedback from AO when DS was in process was that we could not "cherry pick" across ACT/SAT but I will be honest and say I do not know if that would also include writing. It was more about if we got a great math score in ACT and a great writing/reading score in SAT we could not expect admissions...
