DD got in! We did not get an email, she just logged in to check. Excited for the great opportunity.

Also received a rejection today, DD. Glad she accepted AFSS.

Thanks for this info, was getting nervous also.

Sorry, I am wrong. I was talking appointments, and it looks like I was thinking of the CGA. I thought they all offered that but only the Coast Guard Academy has early action. I believe the OP is talking appointments even though the title is nominations.

As to your receiving an answer in December, I believe if your application is complete by the early date (mid October?) you will hear back by the end of December is my understanding. Your student was not complete by then, but something to look into for others. It would be nice to know in December.

I have heard being placed lower is better during the stressful first year. It would help to go over material already learned and do well in the class. My daughter also did poorly on her first ACT math because it covered algebra pre calc etc. that she hadn’t done in years. Her ACT math went up 9...

I think they have until April 28th to notify. We are waiting also, need to make decisions/plans. Air Force has to accept by April 15th, which is tough because she would prefer to attend USNA.

Try this link for info. Looks easier than I thought actually. https://www.ncdot.gov/dmv/title-registration/emissions-safety/Pages/default.aspx

Travel question to SS: I looked through posts from last summer. So, travel in on the first day, and travel out on last day flights no earlier than 3:30pm. So this would be two full days and two partial days assuming arriving around noon the first day. Is this correct? I don’t see the...

My DD got into session B, excited, but would like an answer from the USNA which is her #1

My experience is that military can do whatever they want to do in most states I think. I renewed my Oregon vehicle tag with a Michigan address while I had an Iowa drivers license. I believe I insured the vehicle in state it was “garaged”. Each state can have its own rules, for example in North...

Thanks for the replies. Just trying to manage everything. Was hopeful this could be consolidated. I don’t want applications to be done too quickly and she is applying to 3 SA’s, and 3 MOC for nominations, adding ROTCs may distract some. Hopefully we can prioritize. I hope she gets accepted do a...

Couldn’t find this in a search: If turned down from a service academy could you be offered a ROTC scholarship or is that completely different? I seem to think there was a “interested in ROTC” block on the application. Briefly looking at ROTC application process looks similar. Trying to make a...

Thanks this answered a question of mine. Seems like submitting some things earlier is beneficial as you can get chosen earlier.

Similar story when I graduated boot camp in 2002. Went home to Iowa on leave after graduation. Had to fly back to Philadelphia to fly to Oregon to my first duty station in order to get the CG to pay for it. When I landed at 10 pm for a 2 hour taxi ride, they asked if I couldn’t have gotten an...

I agree with the others, the age is a rule and unlikely to get a waiver I would assume. I would definitely take classes through the community college. My daughters school (in NC) has a program set up. A couple kids each year graduate HS with an associate's degree. She has 4 classes each semester...

Have her decide would she still want to enlist if she knew she had no chance of getting into the CGA. Don't enlist in order to get to the CGA, enlist because she really wants to be in the Coast Guard. There are lots of people who have a fulfilling career as an enlisted person. Is there a job...
