I can not recall if there was a spot on the application that asked if you are applying to other service academies. Does anyone remember? My DD is not. The only SA she wants to attend is USCGA. Looking at past posts it seems that this might be looked at in a positive light by the candidate review...

Has anyone here belonged to OCF at USCGA? Or have a cadet that is actively involved in OCF? I would love to know more about the group. Anything you can share would be appreciated. Thanks!

Does anyone know if the applications are reviewed in the order they are received or how that is determined? Also, I wonder anyone gets a denial letter in their portal prior to December 23rd, or do those all come out at the very end?

Just wondering if there are other applicants here who have completed their interview, but it is not checked off on the application check list. Interview was completed on November 5th and DD recently emailed her AO to make sure the interview report had been received and in her file, but never...

I am hoping to receive some clarification on recruited athletes. My DD filled out the "recruit me" form on the webpage and then went to Bears Day. While we were there, she was able to meet the coach. After meeting the coach in the morning, she was invited to go and watch a practice that...

When all of the boxes on the on the application check list have been marked, including the Cadet Candidate Evaluation Board Review Complete, does that mean you will be hearing about if you have been accepted or not soon? Or is there something else that is done that isn't on the check list? Thanks!

Hi, Does anyone know if the Admissions Partners have access to the applicants file / application prior or during the interview? Thanks!

Hi. My daughter is applying EA. She was contacted by admissions that they would like to schedule an interview with her and would be in touch within 21 days to do so. A few questions...does this mean she has gotten to the point in the application where the first two people who reviewed her...

My daughter had a tonsillectomy when she was 24 months old. Besides checking "yes" on her medical questionnaire, will she need to do anything else, such as providing records from the ENT clinic that performed the same day surgery? She did not have any complications during the procedure or...

For those of you who have gone through the EA admission process, does USCGA offer appointments that are "conditional" upon passing the medical exam? Or do you need to have the medical exam completed (and passed / no waiver needed) before the academy will offer an appointment? I didn't see...

For those who have applied to USCGA in the past, at what point in the application process did you receive information to schedule your medical exam? TIA

Do you hear from DodMerb once you start the application process for USCGA or do you have to submit your application you hear from them to schedule your exam? Thanks!

Hi, I am wondering if kids can use Kinesio tape during AIM. My DD doesn't have a specific injury or anything like that, but has used it just to help prevent sore calves from running (which it sounds like they do plenty of at AIM). If anyone has knows if this is ok or frowned upon, I would love...

When applying to USCGA, does the high school need to send an official transcript to USGA or do they accept a transcript that is uploaded to a PDF and submitted that way? TIA!

Hi! My DD is applying Early Action for the class of 2026. She took the ACT more than once and I understand that USCGA does use their super score. We are wondering if we should have ACT only send her super score to USCGA or if we should have the super score AND the individual test results...

My DD will be applying this fall. I saw that an interview is only done upon the request of the USCGA. For those who have had applied in the past, were you requested to do an interview? I am wondering how common it is to do an interview and what would lead admissions to want to interview some...

I am wondering what the average ACT score was for the class of 2025??? Does anyone know how much weight the ACT or SAT score has on the application? I know they are looking for a very well rounded applicant, but I am curious to know what ACT score is considered to be acceptable. Thanks!

Hi, My daughter is attending AIM this summer (session 3). My husband and I plan on spending the week out there exploring the area. I was there for Bears Day with my daughter, but that was in November 2019 and pretty much everything was shut down for the season. Are there any "can't miss" places...

Hi, This year AIM Academy looks a little different with COVID restrictions. The first week will be virtual and followed by 2 in person weeks. Does anyone know how many people will be allowed in each in person session? TIA
