<p>The academy will send representation to school college nights if at all feasible. There is a form on the CGA.edu website which interested parties can fill out to request an AAP to attend their areas college nights.</p>
<p>No need to go to congressional noms…43 out of 50 states represented for the class of 2014 (see below) 86% of the country is represented by CHOICE, not by CHANCE. Don’t take the opportunities away from the most qualified due to residence in a highly selective state, while giving away appointments to kids from areas not academically rigorous enough to produce viable SA students. Give those kids who need an academic boost a CGA scholars appointment…oh wait, CGA already does do that!<br>

<p>Last rant…CGA PAID people to follow up on minority applicants to make sure they finished up their applications. Above and beyond…do we really want students at any of the nation’s Service Academies who don’t have the drive and determination to complete a college application without serious hand-holding? If you want a spot at an elite institution, such as USCGA, USMA, USAFA, USNA or USMMA, then one should be expected to complete the application without a reminder phone call near the application deadline.</p>
