Interesting information- thanks for sharing. My DD never got a DoDMERB prompt- maybe her counselor dragged her feet. Don’t think we will ever know, she got a NO just before Christmas Day and has decided to enlist and get going doing what she wants to do and getting her degree as a Coastie.

A final NO, try again next year or another route. This is all such great information- thank you for taking the time to write it out. I believe DD has already requested to get feedback from her AO (who honestly was very difficult to get conversation/support from during the admission process...

It is a mystery for sure, but seems to be that they really are building a 2028 class that fits their needs. If your son was in a pile on the desk with similar stellar applicants and they had to fill state/race/sport/music/gender/major of study spots and he didn’t fill it than it really was not...

DD applied EA and received her NO letter today. She is very strongly considering enlisting after she finishes her SR year. She’s smart ambitious, but really can’t put her finger on what school she would want to go to other than CGA and she really wants to just get started in the CG. Currently...

I’m curious about enlisting after being rejected from USCGA and hoping to ask you some questions and get your advice for our DD.

When did you all submit your app? 🤞🤞🤞

Hello! DD is anxiously waiting too. What state are you in?

My DD is in the same boat with you both :-). Yes, yes fingers crossed. It’s the only school she wants as well. The weight has been tough. She submitted her EA on 10/15. Hang in there!

I feel that your score will really depend on your sport. Probably at D3 level it’s easier to be a well rounded athlete but there is no way a top xc male runner will hit the top number of push ups, just as a top lineman in football will struggle with the run. Someone highly competitive in shotput...

This is great! Thanks for the laughs- just trying to not share my own nervousness on to our DD- must be so difficult for the applicants. Last night my DD told me over the phone that she thinks her Papa will be so disappointed if she doesn’t get in. She obviously wants it more than all of her...

Interesting! I will go give this a try right now! We recently moved full time into a cabin and DD is states away for HS. Haven’t used a proper computer in years, husband is a pilot and I commandeer his old work iPads lol. I’m beginning to think DD should just sit tight and wait another week...

That bit about being careful of injuries to a highly competitive athlete is a bit nerve wracking- from my coaching and D1 competing, it seemed as though worrying about getting injured means your getting injured.

It doesn’t look like iPads have hyphens, just dashes. Either way DD is at the very end of her 2 week until review email so maybe something will show up soon. Thank you for you help and fingers crossed!

This is what she’s been trying- I may have typed it incorrectly in my post question. Thank you!

Yes, snail mail. She didn’t hit submit until everything was submitted by teachers, counselors, LOR’s, and PFE. It does seem odd, especially because the date is a week after she submitted. She did get the email last week that her app is heading into review. She keeps checking the DODMerb...

Did anyone else get this? It seemed odd to get it after DD had submitted her application Oct 13 for EA, seeing that it is dated Oct 24. She checked the EA box and submitted before the deadline- must be just a delay in the CGA getting brochures out.

I’m so curious how the DODMERB gets activated- I would think applications have not been reviewed at all just a few days after submitting- so why do some get immediately put in to the system for their medical?

Hello! Curious if she has applied to other service academies- it’s interesting how some have gotten DODMerb emails and some haven’t.

This is so good to read, how wonderful for your son to be having such a terrific experience. My DD has want to attend a service academy for a very long time, it had always been the USNA and Marine Corps but over the past 2 years she began talking with more USCG alum and enlisted and she made a...

Thank you! She’s been checking- and obviously anxiously anticipating any sort of contact from CGA. It’s been a week since she received the “your application is in review” email so at least we know her emails are coming through. Thank you so much for your response- class of 25’ for your son! Has...
