The last couple years it was about 1280. But of course there is a range which you seem to fall in. Good job and good luck!

My son had a 580 CR, 590 Math and 640 Writing and was told to "improve" them. This is in addition to a GPA of over 4.0 in college level/AP classes. Go figure! He's still hoping to get an appointment in the Alternate pool.

Like all of the academies the USCGA does not really look at GPA. The academic score includes SAT/ACT scores and class rank (which includes course difficulty). Interestingly the USCGA puts far more weight on the English SAT/ACT than the other academies. Most give Math and English equal weight or weigh the Math score more heavily.

Interesting if true. I've never heard this. Where'd you get that info? Esp. on the emphasis on the English SAT and not caring about GPA

This statement does not hold any truth.

It's hard to believe the USCGA weights the verbal SAT score higher than math especially when they are trying to attract engineering students. The stereotypical engineering student has a higher math SAT than verbal score.

CGA doubles math score in their academic admissions formula. I'm sure I read this before.
