    Admissions Chances?

    Remember that AIM is also a marketing tool. USCGA uses it to help spread the word. Indy1880 tells me that you may be from the Midwest, and if so, this may be another reason that you were accepted. Also, it appears that you haven’t participated in sports until your junior year? You don’t...

    RISE and other pre-Day 1 events

    In addition, google things to see/do in the area. For example, Mystic has an aquarium. The beach is not too far away. Also, if your kid is an athlete, some coaches have cookouts at their house so new teammates and families can get to know each other. Getting there several days early has...

    Reapplying for C/O 2029 - Div. 1 athletics question

    Yes for the team. Competitive athletics for (re)applicants is always a positive. Don’t worry about using a year of eligibility. Your goal is to get in USNA.

    Women’s swimsuit question

    This thread has been really helpful to the OP. One person says it’s a tech suit. Another person says it’s anything BUT a tech suit. And a third person says it’s one of those halfway suits.

    Campus Tour

    Make sure that you contact USCGA prior to make arrangements. Folks can’t just drive in like civilian colleges, as it is a military base.

    Back-Up Plan?

    Get a part-time job where you work with fellow employees, and work face-to-face with customers. You will learn a lot, and will learn quickly, about yourself, about the general public, about how the world works.

    Medical Waiver Process

    Maybe it’s finally time to decide on a single plan B, and eliminate plans C,D,E, etc. Either plan A (I assume USCGA) or plan B is where she will go next school year. If plan B requires a $ deposit before waiver status is known, pay the $. Then put plan B off to the side. Start getting...
