USCGA 2021 Appointments

it will be in your bears den - you should also get an email ... if you are a recruited athlete - your coach may notify you a bit earlier when they get the heads up
That was our question. We keep reading that the coaches are calling so far. Are they all recruited athletes so far then? Should we not worry too much yet for not hearing anything if we're not recruited athletes?

Not sure what the mix of selection is - DS is a recruited athlete with an LoA ... his app was submitted on 9/3 with last mandatory letter of rec in on 10/11 - not sure what the mix is but even those with an LoA are put in queue by when they were received. Also nothing updated in Bears Den yet ... hopefully overnight

Is the order of review based on date application submitted or when last required item was received? I have read posts that state both scenarios, but DD's app was submitted on 8/9 with last item submitted on 10/14 and she hasn't been reviewed yet so I'm thinking it is the latter?

its quite confusing - but multiple sources have told me that it is app submit date - they don't penalize the applicant for teachers lagging on references (which do have to be in by app cut-off 10/15 for EA) ... its possible that your DD wasn't in the first batch because there were a bunch submitted in the first few days - hoping she gets her good news right before turkey day!
 
DS just received phone call from coach about his appointment. Very excited here. So happy to be part of the CGA class of 2021! Emails should be coming soon. Nothing in bears den yet. Congratulations to all the new appointees
 
I just asked my cadet about her application that she submitted two years ago. Her memory is a little hazy about some details. Her application was submitted close (hazy) to the deadline for early action. She received an email the day before Thanksgiving that said she was accepted (not hazy at all). It was on Bears' Den when she checked right away (hazy). She was not a recruited athlete (not hazy at all). This information may be of some use, but of course things change. Good luck everyone.
 
Same here! DD just checked and Bears Den is updated with appointment. :)
So happy and grateful.
Newby here. DS submitted EA first week of October. Review started around November 7th. Review board is still unchecked. Where in Bears Den does notice of appointment show up? Is it on front page? Thanks for any information. We're as anxious as everyone else!

Under the Application checklist there is a sub category
Status
☑️ Application complete- ready for review
☑️ CCEB Review Complete-
Decision Available

You can then click on the decision available and it will link you to the application.

There is also a notification under the Application link. Look at the top of the Bears den next to the "Welcome, (name)- My Bears Den Profile / My Events/ Application/ change password/ log out, click on Application then look for this section:

USCGA Application
Recommendation providers

(List of Names/dates)
Decision status: available beginning 11/21/2016
Your application decision is now available online


None of the links appear until the decision is available. Hope this helps!
 
No problem- nothing like a watched pot! My DD and I joked that if the CGA website person kept track of how often we checked the bears den these past few weeks it would be embarrassing.

That's funny. We've been checking the Bear's Den as well as the portals for the USNA and USAFA. Won't be long before our IP address gets marked as a DDoS and gets blocked. :)

With that application date it is highly possible that your DS app will be in the 3rd or 4th round of reviews so you may not hear until close to Christmas time- apps are reviewed in order received regardless of LoA or not.

My DS was ups dated as well! Nice to feel official. Not sure what the two of us will do with all the spare time we will have from not checking bears den every 5 minutes. Lol. It was nice to see just that 1 checked box this morning. The waiting has been well worth it.
 
I have started a FB page in the pattern of the others - for the Parents of the Class of 2021 - please give your Cadets name and appointment date when requesting access
USCGA - Parents - Class of 2021

I got the email that my application was going to be reviewed within the next two weeks on October the 27th. Is there a good chance I will get my decision before thanksgiving?
 
I submitted my application October 5th, then an email saying my application will be under review on October 14th. DoDMERB qualification was sent to the academy November 14th and my interview report was recieved November 5th. Does anyone have a ball park when I'll get a decision?
