Is that polo on horseback, or in the water? Or are the horses in the water?My son recieved the call this afternoon. He plans to play polo. He applied relatively late for EA.
Good question. I thought maybe he was the horse.Is that polo on horseback, or in the water? Or are the horses in the water?

I think 290 is still a pretty big class. Last year they started around 302 I believe, and I believe class of 2025 was around 290 as well.Btw, this year the Coast Guard will offer under 350 appointments to get incoming class of 290 cadets. Apparently this will be one of their most selective years in USCGA history.
Good points about the very real effect Covid and other factors had on the class of 2024, it is historically small. Small classes have more leadership opportunities so though small, they will be more "seasoned" by graduation.I think 290 is still a pretty big class.

Class of 2024 is very small, and it is actually a bit of a problem from what I've heard. They only had 265 at the start of swab summer plus 7 international cadets for a total of 272 to begin. Class of 2024 is now down to ~225 cadets. It was a bit of an issue this past summer when that class was cadre for a very large class of 2026, and it continues to make it more difficult for all of the 2024 cadets since each one is responsible for a larger number of underclass. I think they have just gotten used to it at this point. Next year they will be leaders for 3 classes that are much larger than them.
If you look at previous years there are still a trickle of decisions made all week long but for sure an answer to one of the four decisions on it before Friday (CGAS, deferred to RA, Admitted or denied).Someone else asked this and I didn't see an answer. Over this last week, will contacts be made during the week or will everything come out on Friday? Thanks.
Water polo, great! My DS (class of 25) is on the team and really enjoys it!My son recieved the call this afternoon. He plans to play polo. He applied relatively late for EA.
In the past, some have said their appointment offer just showed up in their Bears Den without a phone call.Anyone know if good news (Appointment, CGAS) is ever received without a phone call? Or does no phone call automatically mean deferred or denied?
