Essay?

I am completing the USCGA application and it does not leave a place for me to explain my extracurricular activities. I put in my sports and my job, but i do other things like volunteer. The supplements don't include an extracurricular list, so where do i add these to my application? Is it in the essay?

You sure? I can remember my son and daughter filling those out. Call your admissions counselor your best source of info. Good luck too!

Hey j,

I just finished the application and there was room for extracurriculars...its the section where you put the sports you do on the app. You can add up to 6 or 7 activities. Hope this helps!

Ya what trackandfield08 said ^

I still wish there was more of a massive ECA bubble sheet like the USNA / USAF Application has.

They are trying to save paper...CGA is very eco-friendly.
