ok, I have a bit of an odd dilemma. I am volunteering at the hospital this summer and have to get a TB test tomorrow (standard procedure). It has to be checked between 48 and 72 hours after the test, basically saturday or sunday. I just get a form when they do the test and any nurse or doctor...

haha alright. running is my sport so I get very into it, and I would love to go sub 6 which i could definitely on a track (I have very specific pacing ha). but I suppose the mile portion of the CFA is not quite like a track meet where every second is a huge deal. ;)

alright. oh well. thanks so much for the help!

thanks. do you know if it's marked at intervals? i have a shot at maxing out or damn close if i can time quarter miles, but i'm not sure otherwise.

quick question regarding the CFA (and this is a marginally appropriate thread for that haha): is the mile run on a 1/4 mile track, or is it a mile long road run/course? thanks! heading up to annapolis this saturday and can't wait to take that CFA! heh :)

i can't seem to find my sheet but as i recall you need about 7 pairs of running shorts and shirts, 8-10 of underwear and socks, a pair of tennis shoes as well as an older pair for getting dirty (i think there's a mock sea trials kind of thing or something, unless i dreamt it), photo id for...

got mine Tuesday as well! can't wait to finally get going with the whole process. :)

I received something about a week ago; however, I received my acceptance letter sooner than most on this board and so sent the money in a lot earlier. I would expect something in the coming weeks though...

ok thanks. yeah i will try to find that thread and sift through the conflicting info to get some idea. I know I can perform well on pushups, situps, and run (probably max out on all or 2), but I thought they were all weighted equally?

I'm attending NASS II and I want to make sure I am prepared for the basketball throw. Does anyone know the minimum to pass the basketball throw? I could only find the max out online but maybe I completely overlooked it. Also, advice on technique would be very much appreciated. I feel like there...

everytime it comes up, my mother shoots me a disapproving look and informs me that "it's just suuuuuch a big commitment." -measured response- "but it's a really big commitment...do you realize that?" as if I'd be bothering if I were trying to avoid commitment. I think my mom was upset I got...

god i'm glad i don't have to compete with you! nice record, keep it up, don't fall into the slacker pothead trap or anything extreme, and i think you will be quite competitive. good luck!

haha. agreed. Ivies have higher average GPA's and standardized test scores for admissions. all that was meant. and thank you, I'm sure I will post with plenty of questions and updates during the next year. :)

woah there ;) I am applying to USNA and not any Ivies and have no doubt I'd get a better education there (USNA). Simply talking in terms of average SAT scores...you have to show a lot more than standardized test-taking skills to get into USNA (which is a good thing). Whereas it seems like many...

I think scores on the PSAT/SAT were probably pretty important in the summer seminar applications. I'm a high school junior and I got a 231 (last year) and 223 (this year) on PSAT and then a 2320 on the SAT. I heard back about NASS within a few weeks, when it seems like so many people have had...
