I have taken the act twice and superscored have
English 34
Math 33
Science 30
Reading 25
English/writing 34
Composite 31

As you can see the Reading will keep me out of the service academies

I just received my PSAT scores
Math 77
writing 67
reading 54
Total 198


The PSAT --> Sat concordance would be
Math 770
writing 670
reading 540
Total 1980

I am on "your application has not yet been processed by USAFA"

Is there any benefit to changing my USAFA SS application to add these scores? Or should I leave bad-enough alone?
 
Depending on what the rest of your resume looks like, the 25 alone in reading, especially with how high your other scores are, especially math, will not necc. keep you out of the service academies! (My son is a white male, not a recruited athlete, and his highest reading ACT was 25, he got into both USAFA and USNA summer seminars, and he is now a Youngster at USNA)

That said, I would include PSAT scores on your SS app as well, as they will look at all your scores. You have plenty of time to boost your reading score before the actual applications to attend a service academy are required.
 
Reading scores usna

I dont think USNA looks at your reading score -so for that particular academy you need not worry about the 25. The 25 may be an issue for USAFA and USMA though.

Yes, USNA doesn't. I also made a25 on reading but 35 and 33 on the sections that count :)
 
reading act

It is interesting that you can get an LOA to USNA with a Reading score of 25, but be denied admission from USMA based on that score.
 
Nice!

Nice scores brother! Post those bad boys up and I wish you the best of luck! I'm sure you'll be fine!
