Our DS is still on hold, but has been offered the scholar program by the USCGA after being denied 100%. So don't give up its not over , until its over , and even then there is self prep. We moved on immediately after USCGA denial, and applied, and received admission and scholarships to MMI back in early Feb, It really helped us mentally to have a solid plan that would ultimately lead to the same result with hard work and determination of course! Stay positive and call MMI!!! they are a great plan of action!
