[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, didn't think the schools mattered that much. He's wanted to attend the Coast Guard Academy for years and was accepted EA. Then the Naval Academy admit came through, and now he's torn. He admits the culture isn't for him but that he's blinded by the higher prestige. I don't want to sway him, but I also don't want to see him make a big mistake. [/quote] In this case I think the schools do matter because the cost factor is the same (0) but the mission and the required service (the job) are part of the decision. Is there an accepted student programming or some other way for them to visit and see the options again? Congrats to your son - both are tough admits.[/quote] Probably can't do another visit, but he's visited both within the past year - definitely meshed more with the USCGA. I know it's the answer. Convincing him that he knows it too is the next step.[/quote]
