Every year candidates wait until the last minute to complete their CFA. Every this works poorly. Review your CFA requirements now, do a practice now, find a proctor, when the portal opens, schedule by the end of summer. Don't delay, it's not that difficult.

DS appointee kit link is active in his portal as of today! Keep an eye on the portals, and don't delay getting everything completed.

THE FORMAT: This is the simplest and oldest format, a straight text list, no formatted tables, that is described in following paragraphs. If you decide to import a table or spreadsheet format to “help” the thread, please take full responsibility for it to the end of the cycle. Provide clear...

They should start to trickle out anytime. Two years ago DS1 received his appointment on 1 Nov.

Non recruited DS just received an LOA. Things are moving early in 2027 admissions! DoDMERB is done and Presidential nom is done. Exhaling slightly 😄

All you seasoned BGOs out there... DS was interviewed by his BGO three weeks ago, but it hasn't been posted in his portal yet. Is there a normal timeline? When should he reach out to his BGO about this? He isn't on this forum (or any forum for that matter). Everything else is completed.

Has anyone been called for an interview? DS completed AIM in person this summer, and his application is complete. Bears Den says "Interview Report (at request of Admissions)". Do they interview everyone?

"Thank you for submitting your application to the United States Coast Guard Academy for our Class of 2027. I wanted to make you aware that we changed the prompt to our Personal Statement #3 this year, but some applicants reported still seeing the old prompt when our application first went...

Does the AIM PFE automatically load into the application or does DS need to call? He scored a 263 and I don't think he needs to retake it (please correct me if I am incorrect). Trying to save admissions from one more email🙂

Is the CFA pass / fail or is there an advantage to redoing after showing qualified (more points = higher score)? USAFA is just pass/fail. DS has green qualified on his portal from NASS. Also, does USAFA and USNA use the same pass / fail standards?

DS ACT and SAT scores were sent. Both SAT scores show, but only one of the two ACT scores is listed. It looks like ACT.ORG sent them. Anyone experience this? Will they show up eventually, or does he need to contact admissions? I know it's only May, but his app is finished with what he can...

I thought we could pay today, but, for the life of me, cannot figure it out. Is it not available yet, or is it me? I'm assuming it would be somewhere in the Bear Den.

The act.org website does not allow downloading the scores as it used to, only sending them for $16. Our Congressman only takes "official" hard copies and does not participate in the "Send to" program, and neither does our high school. Did anyone solve this one yet? This is new within the last...

Ok, this is a ridiculous question, but.... DS is putting his stuff together for BCT. The checklist is very specific about underwear and tee shirts but nothing about socks. Is he overthinking this, or is there a specific requirement that is missing from the handbook?

DS just received an email stating ACT/SAT is waived for the class of 2025 only. "Due to the Covid -19 pandemic, The SAT/ACT test requirement has been waived. This means you are not required to take the exam(s) in order to be considered for admission. This rule is in effect for the Class of 2025...

Are Presidential nominations automatic, assuming they are eligible, or is there a further vetting process? My DS has an LOA waiting on a nomination. He just sent in his Presidential paperwork last week (I misunderstood the rules). I know they have unlimited nominations but only 100 can be...
