| Hello
Hello, I just found this website looking for CGA stuff. I sent in my early action application, did my physical all that good stuff. I would just like to see how I match up to other applicants though. I was just wondering what AP classes anyone's taken and their SAT scores. Just simple stuff like that. I am in AP Englsih AP Economic AP Government, had AP History last year. I am taking calculus at the community college. My SAT scores were not that great Reading is 600 Math is 610 and writing is 560.

I am awaiting to hear back for early action. We should know by December 24. The wait for the news seems like an eternity.

LOA stands for Letter of Assurance. It states that you will be offered an appointment provided that you complete the rest of the requirements, (eg: medically qualified, pass fitness test, receive nom in the case of other Academies). I don't know if Coast Guard sends out LOAs. Their process is quite a bit different than the other Service Academies.

I have a cadet son at the CGA and wanted to chime in on the EA and to make sure that those applying early realize what will happen in late December. You may be one who is placed in rolling admissions, otherwise known as being an alternate. PLEASE do not make the mistake of thinking that is a sign that you will not get an appointment. Many, many, many alternates will eventually get an appointment. The academy is not going to hand out all of their appointments until the regular admissions deadline passes. I cannot remember the exact number, but I understand it is close to 100 alternates who will eventually receive an appointment. It may not happen until April or May so try not to be discouraged. So, just because of our experience with how all of this works, you may want to explain the process to your family and friends so they understand that in reality you are waiting for one of three answers in late December, and not just a YES or NO...I have seen on this board in years past many kids who were devastated because they kept telling themselves they were going to hear a YES or NO and didn't realize they have a good chance of getting the alternate status, and that that is very good and not a reason to be disheartened. Good luck!

I agree it's definitely a long wait! I'm hoping for an EA 'yes' but also realistic. Most of EA decisions go to former AIMsters. Had an interview with admissions partner, he said I' have top 'academic' scores but some concerns about fitness - only scored 142 though I've been running 5x weekly since 11/1 and will resend scores prior to March deadline.
We'll all have to repost in a few weeks and hopefully SOME of us will have good news to share!

| EA and Aim
My son was qualified for AIM, but put in the lottery and did not get to attend. He was invited back as a Cadet For a Day as a result. If AIMsters have a leg up on EA do you think that includes my son?

| The web site says that about 50% of AIM grads earn appointments, but I couldn't find anything about how many go Early Action.
As AIM is highly competetive and selective, candidate evaluation decisions on both AIM and EA are probably based on the same criteria. "Success at AIM is a good indicator of success at the Coast Guard Academy."....... USCGA website
So you may be right.
