    Nervous in Newton

    My daughter too. Coach told her to hold off and make her app the best it could be. The wait was pure torture. Currently she is a very happy and successful cadet at CGA

    Questions on required items list

    The box sale is a fund raiser for one of the Parents Association Chapters, and all funds go back to supporting the Corps of Cadets. It is not mandatory, but most parents do buy one and enjoy filling it up with snacks and treats for their swab. It is an extra delivery to them in the first week...

    Passport renewal while at the Academy

    We expedited our daughters last spring before Swab Summer. She was 17 so it required both parents at the appt but it was really no big deal. We made an appt at the PO on a Saturday morning, we all went, it took about 45 minutes, and she had it before the summer. I do not remember when she was...

    The Wait

    The majority have not heard by now. Not everyone who applied EA has a decision and no one who applied EA and was deferred to RA has decision. Just because your app was EA does not guarantee and EA decision. You can get deferred or admit to prep. Later you may be WL for admit or WL for...

    Chatter, Congrats & Questions 2026 USCGA Appointment Thread

    Regarding BFE's. Oversized envelopes may arrive in your regular mail from admissions soliciting applications. But an appointment envelope will be impossible to miss or mistake for a regular admissions mailing. It is a big thick oversized folder that will come in a cardboard envelope sent by...

    How early could I hear if I'm a recruited athlete?

    My daughter was called by her coach as soon as he knew she was getting an appointment. He wanted to be the one to tell her before she saw in in Bears Den.

    10th Grader - what should we be doing now?

    I remember reading on here somewhere that the numbers are difficult to compare because CGA only reports admissions based off the number of COMPLETED applications. But USNA, as an example, uses the number of applications STARTED, even if they are not completed. This number also includes all...

    Sea Year Sexual Assault Report(s)

    I do not understand your point "You can say and believe that without placing the blame for an alleged rape on the victim." I do not believe that the rest of the crew on that ship did not know that something wrong happened to that midshipman. Furthermore, she was afraid to report it for a...

    Sea Year Sexual Assault Report(s)

    It is about the abhorrent behavior of the rapist and the cover up by the crew. Take care of your shipmates.

    Sea Year Sexual Assault Report(s)

    I hate the turn that this thread is starting to make. This is not about alcohol. It is about the abhorrent behavior of the rapist and the cover up by the crew. The 19 year old was put into a near impossible situation for her to manage and the fault for that is with Maersk and USMMA. She...

    10th Grader - what should we be doing now?

    Identify your admissions counselor and make contact and update them regularly. Do everything that is suggested to you by your admissions counselor and sports coach, if you are a recruited athlete. They keep track of these things and pay attention. Remember that the Tennis, Track, Wrestling...

    Cadet for the Day attire

    I agree. For both parents and prospective cadets. But keep in mind that CGA is on a steep hill and you can expect to be walking up and down steep hills and stairs and paths all day long. So wear appropriate shoes for that kind of walking. And if the weather is going to be bad, foul weather...

    Covid antigen test

    At parents weekend 2 weeks ago an at home self administered test had to be done on site, witnessed, as I understand, by CGA staff (I did not do this) But I believe that the test had to be done at the off site parking site before boarding the bus to the academy. (busing because of the high...

    AIM waitlist update

    My daughter, who received and appointment for the class on 2025, definitely thought that her interview during virtual AIM am was to be used in her application decision. It was certainly not ideal and not what we were hoping for but she made the best of it and showed up for all of the sessions...
