"Thank you for submitting your application to the United States Coast Guard Academy for our Class of 2027. I wanted to make you aware that we changed the prompt to our Personal Statement #3 this year, but some applicants reported still seeing the old prompt when our application first went online. The old prompt was related to COVID-19 and its impact on you, but the new prompt is: Explain why you are interested in the academic programs you selected and how your previous studies, coursework, and experiences in or outside the classroom have helped prepare you to be successful as a college student. (Limit 250 words on a single page)
This personal statement is optional, so you don't need to answer it, but please let me know if you did not see the new prompt or would like to submit something and I can add it to your record. Again, thank you for applying and please let me know if you have any questions."
If you have the old question, it's probably worth an email to admissions. DS will just write another paragraph. Builds character.
