Just an opinion, if you are wait listed, - every year folks debate the math on numbers applied/admitted/accepted/wait listed. Couple of points, because applicants must be medically cleared, and that process (medical waivers) goes deep into the admissions cycle, the odds of acceptance can be better than you think as long as you are still in the running. As waivers and appeals get denied, kids get injured playing senior year sports, and other accepted cadets notify USCGA they accepted another offer (as most kids have several offers), admissions adjusts from their wait list pool to compensate; it is truly a dynamic process from year to year. If you were deferred, follow the directions on your letter and add any information you can to address sports, leadership, PFE score increases, grades, and test scores. If your school provides mid-semester grades, forward them to your AO. Perseverance is a desirable trait in this endeavor.
If you have been accepted, congratulations! Enjoy senior year, but not too much as you will soon be filling out background clearance forms for your security clearance and appointment. Also, probably not the best idea to participate in extreme sports, as you have to report on June 29th and pass a physical, ready for swab summer.
Good luck to all!
