Hi Everybody,
I'm the father of a young man who has his heart set on going to the USCGA. He is very bright, an Eagle Scout, and has lots of community, work, leadership, band, track and competitive shooting listed on his resume and his SAT scores are pretty good. However, his grades are just "good". He didn't use his high IQ until recently...when he finally heard what I have been saying all along. He is hoping that he is CGA caliber. He has applied to AIM and will be attending Boy's State here in PA this summer. I know he would excell if given the chance, I'm just not sure the admissions staff will be able to see past the 3.3 GPA.
