Congratulations br2011! That's awesome news. Guess you are pretty excited!Go celebrate!

Mailman has come and gone here today...still nothing. This all-consuming anticipation is maddening! Maybe December 15 will be the lucky day?!?!?

My son got an email from admissions this morning at 8:59 am inviting him for a visit - it starts out "Congratulations on your appointment to the United States Coast Guard Academy! " He has not yet gotten a letter in snail mail - so check your email! Woohoo.

Congrats!
I know your son was happy. We are still waiting for the mailman. Hope we hear positive news today too.

Has your son visited the Academy yet?

That is certainly very discouraging news about the e-mail message sent this morning to OhioMom88's son. I can't imagine USCGA not sending ALL APPOINTEES SAME e-mail at SAME time. My son did not receive any e-mail from USCGA today. Nothing in our USPS mailbox today, either. br2011, did you get the e-mail, too?

Congrats GA. Mom they don't always send an email. I think it depends on the Admissions officer.

congrats GA and RaiderLax!

Son did not get the packet in today's mail either, though. We have a hole-in-the-wall post office which is always at least a day later...so we hope tomorrow. He was so surprised by the email - from Lesya's comments we weren't expecting anything till next week. Did they really have 2000 apps for EA? The email was from the admissions officer.
