It seems like movement on CGAS Wait List will begin some time after 1 May when suspense for Direct Appointments to Academy occurs.
 
My son just rcvd the call from head football coach. He has been accepted to CGAS. Best of luck to everyone still waiting. NEVER give up.
Congrats to your son!!
May I ask you 2 questions:
Was it the new football coach at USCGA, CC Grant, that called him; and will he now be playing football for 1 year at CGAS before beginning on the team at USCGA in 2021?

Not sure the coaches name but my son did say it was the head coach that called. And yes he will be playing at NAPS this year.

Congrats to your son! Such exciting news!!! Did his coach actually tell him he was going to NAPS? As far as I know, none of the scholars have been given their assignments yet.

You are correct none of the scholars have been given assignments yet. I think they will be notified in the next couple of weeks. I have been told that football recruits are normally assigned NAPS but nothing is certain until you get that assignment.
 
@Objee

Can you please provide an update on CGAS Waitlist since 4/15 deadline has passed?

Number on CGAS waitlist currently?

Number of CGAS appointments that have been accepted to date and approximate number of CGAS appointments that will be filled this year?

Thanks
 
Has anyone on CGAS waitlist received a DoDMERB email to take their physical?
DS already took physical and was cleared for DODMERB a long time ago, but he was an EA applicant. I don't know but it seems like you would have to clear DODMERB even before being accepted into CGA Scholars, but I don't know that for sure.

I assume your DS has not received an email asking him to arrange his physical?
Are you absolutely sure he hasn't received an email? It may have gone into his SPAM folder.
If after checking you can definitely state that he hasn't received an email asking for a medical then my advice is he should contact his AO immediately and find out what is happening. He has very little time left to get medicals completed and if he gets offered a CGAS appointment he will not be given a full appointment to CGAS without passing DODMERB.

Thanks for the replies.. I realize now I should have been more clear in my post. My son (CGAS waitlist candidate) did receive the DoDMERB email (and yes, it was in spam, and we didn’t see it until 5 days later!). I was just wondering if all waitlist candidates are being sent for physicals. The waiting and wondering can be excruciating.
 
Everyone should have completed their physicals by now if they are on a waitlist. Complete and cleared with no waivers required since early December.

Waivers are still required for many of us on the waitlist because *DoDMERB won't act on them until asked to do so by Admissions* -- at least this is what we were told. Although, we still forwarded the correct eye exam. DoDMERB flat out refused to do anything about the incorrect exam, as did the company contracted, other than send DD a copy of the incorrect exam results (the bad exam has DD's uncorrected/unaided vision as 20-990. Her actual uncorrected/unaided vision is 20-220, and we provided the exam which is within 24 hours of the DODMERB one.) DD's portal still shows pending/under waiver review.

My DS is on the waitlist and told no waiver unless he hets selected from the waitlist. We have given them substantial documentation as well. So, here's to the next two weeks!
