My son is a senior this year and in the process of finishing up his application/acceptance process - he went to AIM and a Bear Day ... He attended local police and fire department summer camps - he became class treasurer - a big thing they look for is not just being active but being out front ... being a leader or team captain or mentor ... also figure out who your recruiting officer is and start a dialog with them ... also find your local admission partner and they can help you through the process as wellI am currently a high school junior looking to apply to the Coast Guard Academy. Besides keeping grade up, having extra curriculars, and sports; what should I be doing then to get ready for the application process?

Leadership...DS was captain of two sports teams and had multiple leadership positions in the marching band. He didn't get into AIM which was a huge disappointment for him but he did attend the Cadet for a Day overnight. He ended up with an appointment in early November along with two other Academy appointments and we believe it was due to being pretty well-rounded. He chose to go in another direction service-wise but it was really tough for him to turn CGA down but he is happy where he is.I am currently a high school junior looking to apply to the Coast Guard Academy.

no - the recruiting officer is one of like 7 regionally assigned USCGA Admission staff based in New London ... an admission partner is usually a parent of a current or recently graduated cadet and live somewhere local to you - they can guide you through the process and help answer questions ...Is the admission partner and recruiting officer the same?
