<p>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.</p>
<p>hey,

ap english junior and senior yr
ap calculus
ap chemistry- junior yr
math sat:640, writing: 610, reading: 550</p>
<p>Junior year: AP English Composition, AP US History, AP Latin Literature
Senior year: AP English Literature, AP AB Calculus, AP Psychology, AP Environmental Science, AP Latin Virgil</p>
<p>SATs: Reading: 670, Math: 630, Writing: 700</p>

Senior: AP calc, Ap government, AP comp. gov. and at the cc: us hist. 112, eng. 102 comp.
Sat scores were just a little above spikerr’s dont remember off the top of my head.</p>
<p>propeller,ryant32,wafflebear12, are all of you waiting to hear early action uscga class 2012? when do you expect to get the good news?</p>
<p>I am awaiting to hear back for early action. We should know by December 24. The wait for the news seems like an eternity.</p>
<p>It is forever! Our s is waiting with early action, also. I’ve heard of 2 people getting LOA in Sept.</p>
<p>CGA doesn’t give out LOA’s</p>
<p>ya rally it is a longgggg wait…lol as i told some friends at school, it is a bit of a “emotional rollercoaster” haha.</p>
<p>loa? letter of acceptance?</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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!</p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>We’ll all have to repost in a few weeks and hopefully SOME of us will have good news to share!</p>
<p>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?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The web site says that about 50% of AIM grads earn appointments, but I couldn’t find anything about how many go Early Action.</p>
<p>As AIM is highly competetive and selective, candidate evaluation decisions on both AIM and EA are probably based on the same criteria. </p>
<p>“Success at AIM is a good indicator of success at the Coast Guard Academy.”…USCGA website</p>
<p>So you may be right.</p>
<p>The admissions partner who interviewed me said that most spots in EA go to AIMsters and probably more competitive since they’ve increased # of AIM sessions each summer.</p>
<p>I think that women will have a much easier time of getting in this year because of the new admissions director… so good luck to any girls applying</p>
<p>HUH?</p>
<p>what kind of comment is that? The USCGA has the highest percentage of women of any service academy - about 30%.</p>
<p>If you are female and applying do not think you can get in with “less” of a package than the guys. Many females apply and many are highly qualified.</p>
<p>Thanks for the laugh, khays4u.</p>
<p>CAPT Susan Bibeau (USCGA 80) has been the Director of Admissions since 2001 and is scheduled to remain in the position until 2010. USCGA is the only service academy which is required by law to not consider gender or race when making admissions decisions, so I’m not sure what you’re talking about.</p>
