This is not a form letter...not everyone gets the same one you did. They are telling you in no uncertain terms that you are a VERY STRONG candidate for admission to the Class of 2014. They literally don't have enough room for everybody.

Many graduates, including my own son, did not go to AIM.

You should take advantage of the "Cadet for a Day" program. Although it is very brief, I think it will give you a good feel for the Academy experience. I know you are disappointed, but this is just a small speed bump along the way.

By attending this program, you will send a strong signal to the admissions staff that you are very much interested in attending the CGA.

So take a deep breath, keep working hard, and make an appointment to come to New London sometime this fall. I don't think you'll regret it. Good luck.
