    In your opinion, is early admission a good idea?

    My son had pretty similar stats and was very happy to have gone the EA route, he was notified by Dec (2017) of his appt and was able to concentrate on getting ready for Swab Summer and enjoying senior year. Definitely keep in touch with the uscga XC/track coach it helps show interest. Good luck :)

    No desire for Pampering? Perfect!! He'll LOVE Swab summer ;) j/k All kidding aside, my son was invited last year for being a First Gen college student, but decided that he would be at the Academy for 4 years and took those extra days to say good-bye to friends and family.

    Speech Impediment

    My son was the same as you "graduated" speech therapy in 5th grade. He is at the Academy! They just did the read aloud at DoDMERB, he never had speech trouble after 5th grade. Hope this helps

Not much longer now and try not to read too much into anything, I don't really think there is any special rhyme or reason to when/how appts are given out, and there is a small percentage of...

    What are some Important things, clubs and positions that the USCG Academy looks for?

    I would also say have teachers and coaches and a guidance counselor that knows you and can really go to bat for you for recommendations.

    Recruited athlete?

    I agree, starting out with the sports questionnaire are emails are a great way to start and then it builds from there. If he or she is recruited they may get invited to a sports overnight, much like cadet for a day for recruited athletes. That's how my son knew he was recruited. Then a couple of...
