Congrats to AtlantaDad and son. I read your earlier posts and we went through the same waiting process. My son was notified by e-mail of his acceptance on April 29 also.
Super! Is he accepting? Hey, can anyone tell me the timing of packages. We sent back original paperwork and they received on Monday. When will we get the next package with instructions, packing lists, etc.? Thanks.

CGA or bust
Yes he is accepting. After visiting the Coast Guard Academy there wasn't a choice really, although he was accepted with some scholarships elsewhere. We were down to two options: a Coast Guard Academy acceptance or a year of prep and apply to the CGA again, similar to your situation, I believe.
Appointment package came in the mail today. Son is excited all over again. Can't wait to tackle the forms and lists. We've got planes and hotels booked, just counting the days!
