My baby boy did not win the AIM lottery. Good luck to you all.

My baby boy did not win the AIM lottery.
My son did not win the Aim Lottery either.
If it makes any of you feel any better... My son was not selected in last year's lottery,
Objee said:In the past, AIM applications were reviewed by two Admissions staff members and scored: 1) Accept; 2) Hold; or 3) Do Not Accept.
All applicants placed on "Hold" were considered qualified for the program and had their names placed in a lottery (random selection) pool to fill available spots.
Since all notification letters were mailed at the same time, applicants were not informed how they were scored, but just that they'd been selected to attend AIM.
Any remaining "Hold" applicants (not chosen in the lottery) were invited to participate in the Cadet for a Day overnight visitation program.
Not sure if USCGA plans to use the same selection process this year.
Turtle1 said:My son also received his rejection letter but one thing that made him feel a little better was the fact that they said he could go for " cadet for a day " in the fall.
My son's letter also encouraged him to go to "Cadet for A Day" next fall.
My son's letter doesn't state that. In his it had the words of encourgements and to contact his AO and visit campus soon and apply in the summer to the Class of 2015.
Actually, if both your sons go to Vespers on Wednesday night, they might see each other. I remember last year, one of the swabs and his brother who was an Aimster spent the entire duration of Vespers together.

My son, Eric, was thrilled because he learned he was accepted to the first session of AIM, July 4-10. He was hoping this would work out because we're going to be at the CGA on June 28 when his brother, Joshua, "reports in" for the class of 2014 and now we'll stay in the area and drop Eric off a few days later for AIM. They actually might get to see each other since Josh will be there for SWAB summer and Eric for AIM at the same time. Now that we know Eric's status we can make our flight arrangements to Connecticut.
Good luck to everyone else!
