While in Cape Cod we visited the CG Museum and in our way home checked out the academy from the road. DS has been working towards this since the 1st day of 6th grade. It was surreal to see the place where he could be spending 4 years at. All this work and we’re down to the wire now. Just praying he gets in.
I find it interesting that the admissions department has been so outwardly silent up to this point. It is no secret that they are certainly working very hard behind closed doors to appoint the Class of 2025 though. I imagine this is partially because of COVID-19 and the fact that they needed to work from home, but hopefully they will shed some light on what is happening on the virtual admissions brief tomorrow.
Can you share information on the virtual admissions brief tomorrow? Is that something that every one can view?
I believe so. The invitation link I found was on their website at the bottom of this page: https://www.uscga.edu/visit/
Thanks! If I don't make...maybe you can share what's discussed. Many thanks for helping the cadet last Friday... She was so appreciative!
I was referring to the fact that appointments haven't begun to roll out for RA yet. Apologies for not making that clear.
If past events are to go by the Admissions Brief is geared towards those people who are thinking of applying this year not those that have already applied.
I believe that appears to be a regular link for people interested in applying, I do not think they will shed light on any updates to the applications of the class of 2025...did you hear otherwise?
Oh, I wasn't aware, I just figured it was a general admissions brief. I was just kind of guessing that they might at some point mention something about this year's admissions process.
My guess is that, if you’re lucky, they might briefly mention whether they are ahead or behind this year (I assume they are on track or behind) or maybe when they plan to let candidates know (probably wouldn’t say more than “by April 1”) but 99 pct of it will likely be geared to class of 2026.
Unfortunately I don’t think it does. It was the opinion of one poster that EA appointments and early RA appointments were mainly recruited athletes and children of academy alumni.
I have, until recently, been an observer on this site- DS is a junior, applied to AIM; we've attended 2 Academy Day opportunities held by our Senators and Reps so we are starting to get the grasp of all of this. DS's grandparents are no help because they do not remember all of the ins and outs of my sister's WP admission. Sorry for the lengthy lead in- given the class make up and states represented- do you know if the states that do not have representation is due to no applicants or no qualified applicants (my feeling is the latter); and if the class is geographically represented, do the students who go to prep school "count" toward the home address demographic or where the prep school is located? Asking more out of curiosity, not concern.
Yes that is a possibility but I think they haven’t started making appointments yet.
