<p>In terms of academics, athletics, extracurricular activities, and social background, what is the typical candidate for the U.S. Coast Guard Academy like? What is the typical GPA? How many AP courses did a typical candidate take? How many Varsity letters does a typical candidate have? What extracurricular activities does a typical candidate do?</p>
<p>Some of your questions can be answered here:

<p>As for typical…I’d say that those who garner a direct appt. are probably the same kids in high school who push themselves to achieve the highest level of success in academics, athletics and service/leadership.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
