I know the subject about hotels near CGA comes up alot, but we haven't made our reservations for Parents Weekend yet (yes, we need to get on the ball!), and we weren't real happy with the hotel we stayed at for R-day. So, I was wondering if anyone who was really happy/satisfied with their...

I know that at some point during the summer, the swabs will be set up with accounts at NFCU and that they are supposed to bring $200 cash with them. Here is my question (sorry if it's been answered before, but I am starting to panic as we are leaving home soon and won't be back until after...

So, I spent a while today, trying to use the search function to come up with any information on Parents Weekend. I wasn't too successful! Can anyone tell me the timing of the events. I think I saw something about attending class with your student on Friday? Also, when does it conclude? I...

Son will call CGA on Monday to ask, but I thought I'd ask here first, since there is so much wisdom on this forum: Is there a way to deposit money from other scholarship sources (athletics, booster club, chuch) into a swab's school account, not personal bank account? I think I saw this...

Didn't know where to actually post this question: I just saw on CNN that some Navy ships are going to be moved out of Pearl Harbor. I understand the reasoning, but I was just wondering, how quickly can a crew get a ship ready and actually leave port?

Just wondering if anyone knows (before son calls Admissions), if his school could send his 1st semester report card, rather than transcripts. Marking period ends this Friday and counselor said report card would be ready quicker than transcripts. (Honestly, I don't know what could take so long...

the changing admission status dates for USCGA yet? The last two Monday's, dates changed, but not this one? Same for you? I'm counting on you to figure out this mystery! It's up there with Stonehenge and Atlantis!

I just wanted to thank everyone for their good information/insights into this process. Son received a letter today that he received a 4 yr. tier 1 scholarship to SUNY Maritime College. While it wasn't his first choice of schools, we are beyond pleased! Great backup if USNA and USCGA...

...if anyone's admission status date on DoDMERB keeps changing. My son's has changed from Dec. 16 to Dec. 28 to Jan. 4, but we don't understand why, since he was deferred from EA to RA and nothing should really be happening to his file right now. I know it usually means there was some type...

Son had his application and interview complete in time for the first round. Is anyone else, who had their packages complete in August, still waiting to hear? Honestly, he felt pretty confident with his grades, rank, test scores, leadership and community service that he would secure an...

Son has informed me that when they head back to school after the break (Jan. 4), there are still two weeks left before the end of the semester. Here is my concern: If the Academy begins re-evaluating EA deferrals on Jan. 15, his 1st semester grades won't be available by then. Should he...

Son has been watching some dates change on DoDMerb. Thanks for answers to yesterday's question. Today, we have a new one: A new line appeared for each of the Academies that he is applying to. USMMA says accepted. USNA says in process. but, USCGA says Alternate Does anyone...

Son (deferred to RA) was checking his DoDMERB site (for NROTC info), when he noticed the admission status date for USCGA changed from Sept. to Dec. 16. Has anyone else (who's been deferred) had their DoDMERB dates change? Is this because of the deferral? I think so, but the date of the...

Does anyone know if receiving a nomination triggers the Admissions Board to take another look at your file at the next meeting of the Board. I understand that you cannot get an appointment without a nomination, but I was just wondering if it was considered an "update" to your file, like new...

My son received a call today that he received our Congressman's nomination to USNA. I post this, not to brag, but because noone in our family/circle of friends even has an idea what this means. They don't understand the entire nomination/appointment process and all the hard work he put into...

Thank you, Mr. Mullen, for your help in getting my son's USNA height/weight issue straightened out. When my son received his letter from DODMERB saying he was qualified, I remember thinking, "Hmm, I guess I'll never have the opporunity to work with Mr. Mullen." (Just because you do such...

Let me preface this thread by saying that my son has already emailed Mr. Mullen to see if he can help, but I thought maybe someone here might have had a similar situation and can give some advice while we wait for his reply. Son passed DODMERB this summer and received letter that he was...

In looking at threads from about this time last year, I noticed that someone had received a letter verifying that his application/letter for a VP nomination was received. We did this a while ago and have not received anything in the mail. We did not send it "signature confirmed" so now I worry...
