By the way, I believe everyone gets those Leadship invites. As for running, go download the Navy Seals training exercises. Just google it and you will find it in 5 minutes. A 10:30 mile is ridiculous and you will DIE at USCGA if you are in that type of shape when you arrive. Excuses are worthless and it’s time to start making some serious changes if you really want to be competitive for admission to the USCGA. Get on the phone with admissions officers and bring that GPA up as high as possible. Take the SATs again and bring them way up. You will also need to get in tight with someone in the administration at your school to write a letter on your behalf excusing the suspensions and explaining how you have matured. If you don’t do this and the academy finds out about them, you can kiss USCGA goodbye. Also, go on the main page at CC and look up the interviews with the admissions people about suspensions, it should help a little. I hope I wasn’t too honest for you. Good luck!
