Hi! So USCGA is my top choice and I really want to apply for the second round of early action. My only problem is that I messed up my foot and was banned from running/swimming/etc. I recently took the DoDMERB physical and passed that, so no problems there.
My major concern is that I got a bit out of shape after not being allowed to do anything for weeks. My PFE score would roughly be a 180-190 (I haven't officially taken it yet, so I'm just guesstimating). I know the commissioning standard is 200, which I don't have right now. Should I wait to apply and work out like crazy to get my score up for the February deadline, or should I apply with the score I have now? My grades/ECs/athletics are otherwise strong, and the PFE is the major weak part of my application right now. I know it's possible to get a conditional appointment, but what are the chances of that happening?
As I said USCGA is my top choice as far as colleges/career plans, and I'm really hoping to get in. So any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!! Thanks!!!
