| USCGA Admissions
I was wondering if anyone could possibly shed some light on CGA admissions for my current situation:
I graduated high school last year with a less than satisfactory overall GPA (2.1) yet did fairly well on my SAT's (1020 Math & Verbal). My motivation was lacking yet the potential to succeced was there. Most every teacher and guidance counselor whom I told about wanting to go to the CGA either laughed or told me not even to bother. I spent my entire summer motivating myself for the upcoming year, mentally and physically. I am currently attending a local community college majoring in mechanical engineering tech. with an overall 3.4 GPA. My concern is, can I still make it into the Academy even from a community college? I was also accepted recently into the University of Connecticut, by attending this school will I have a better shot rather than staying at the community college? I also belong to a local yacht club in which I have become a very competitive sailor over the past 4 years as well as befriended several Academy alumni, all of whom said they would be more than happy to write a letter of recommendation.
