Three cadets at Marion Military Institute (MMI) who where Waitlisted got at Wednesday evening their Appointment Certificate as a surprise after they graduated from the Service Academy Program (SAP) as Self Prep Students with foccus on USCG - SAP program. They took the same classes as the 25 or so USCGA sponsored cadets, plus additional sport and leadership activities to make themself stand-out. This brings it to 6 accepted self-prep students accepted to the class of 2023 coming from MMI.
Also as additional information it was mentioned that not all "USCGA Sponsored " cadets got this year an appointment, not sure how many failed and why. In addition six self-prep students who partly where there for their 2nd year also did not received an appointment.
So going to MMI is an option if you failed this year to get an appointment, but you need to be ready to work hard as the 3 cadets who moved from the Waitlist had all A and B's in Calculus, Physics, Chemistry, English, Military Science; had extra leadership roles or extra activities or archivments on their records.
