    Chance of getting into USCGA?

    I agree with what every one has said. Certain things stand out to admissions, while even good test scores and extracurriculars might not stand out. All I can say is find a way to make your application unique. What do you do/have that nobody else does? Everybody who is accepted or even applies...

    R Day

    We were about to book flights and hotels for R day, but we were invited and later confirmed to the RISE program. Any others attending? It begins June 23. I believe it is only open to the first 50 families to accept.

    Questions about USCGA Life

    USCGA vs Air Force ROTC

    USCGA vs Air Force ROTC

    I have no preference. If you are referring to the Navy, I already attempted that route: I was denied from the USNA. I want the route that will ensure me flying as quickly as possible. Being on a ship or even overseas does not bother me.
