<p>same no mail.. got off the phone with AO and said we should hopefully hear by mid to end of april...</p>
<p>Will it is pretty close to the Middle of April!!! Did the AO happen to say how many appointment are left!</p>
<p>he told me it wouldnt play a role in appt. updates...</p>
<p>does that mean that soon we will be hearing one way or the other. Not sure how the amount of appointment left would not play a role. At this point you would think they could tell you your chances of getting an appointment.</p>
<p>yea I know, but they havent, mail has come and gone today...</p>
<p>Same Here no notice today!!</p>
<p>From the USGA BB:
Appointment update</p>
<p>When will the final letters for those applicants in the alternate pool be sent out? </p>
<p>Our office is working very hard to get all decisions made. We are doing our best to have all letters out before May 1st.</p>
<p>Friday the 13th no mail from USGA I think that a good thing!</p>
<p>c'mon coast guard!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>i got a r letter from usna today, so i'm really hoping the cga comes through. it obviously makes the decision easier for me. i have been reading along and I hope you all get good news soon. the bad news is a bear. again.......cmon coast guard.</p>
<p>no news....</p>
<p>the days dwindle as time goes by...</p>
<p>Come On!!! Woot Woot!</p>
<p>no news here on 4/14</p>
<p>4/14 down... 4/16 to come (dont get mail on sundays)</p>
<p>Another day down no news. I did see on the USGA web where someone was place in the alternate pool last week the seen a bit weird. You would think they have enough alternate to fill the class!</p>
<p>Just back from spring break trip to europe. I feel the pain of all you who made that daily agonizing trip to mailbox for the past 10 days while we were away. The mailman just brought our accumulated mail and I eagerly dug through it, anticipating a big packet from CGA-still nothing. I know my son is discouraged. CGA remains his absolute first choice and dream. Realistically (it IS mid-April) he is evaluating his options. He's visiting his 2nd choice college today and his 3rd choice next Monday. What about the rest of you? Do you have options of which you are happy and proud? I know all you alternates are just awesome kids and it really breaks my heart to see you have to go through this daily agony of waiting and wondering. Best wishes to all of you!</p>
<p>Yep no news today... I saw the mail lady drop in the mail and was scared to go out to it. I frantically grabbed it, not looking at the envelopes and ran inside. I was like shaking as I sifted through, looking for my name.</p>
<p>No news for Colby today...</p>
<p>no uscga mail in chicago today either. i saw a blue and gold trimmed envelope and almost keeled, but it was for another college that my younger brother is getting mail from. false alarm! keep hanging tough......</p>
<p>My son has an appointment to another academy, also VMI, and a full US Navy ROTC scholarship to an amazing university down south...these are the "back-ups" he's investigating/visiting this week. His dad and I try to stress how amazingly proud we are that he has these options; however, son's heart and soul and dreams are with USCGA and we, as a family (like you all), are still agonizing and waiting. You all (other alternates) please let us know what other options you are considering at this very late date in mid-April.</p>
<p>4yr nrotc to IIT in chgo or 4yr army rotc to St. Norbert (crosstown for UW-Oshkosh) are the 2 "backups". D3 football opportunity at SNU will probably be the deciding factor. at least thats how I feel tonight.</p>
<p>no news today!</p>
