Just curious, If i'm not mistaken you have been through application last year and are currently at the prep school.
Was there any part of the CFA you wished you had more time training for?
In your experience and opinion, was it your CFA or other factors that got you there instead of the academy? Would you mind sharing if those factors are what you're focusing on improving or was it just a very competitive year with less slots available and they made you wait for the next class?
-Thanks
That is correct. I wish I had more time to train in all areas. My CFA was very weak on my academy application. If I can recall my scores from last year they were:
BBall throw: 69ft
Shuttle run: 8.6s
Pullups: 3
Pushups: 45
Situps: 92
Run: 6:45
With that being said (These scores being at Kansas level altitude), I failed the physical fitness test up here. I got somewhere around 180/500 points on the test they give at the prep school, and I was put in a reconditioning program (not a fun program to be in by the way) to improve my physical fitnes. It helped so much though and in a little over two months my score has increased to 289/500.
To answer your question, I think my CFA and average grades (3.62 GPA & 27 ACT) played the biggest part in lowering my academy application score, but there's really no way for me to know. I'm extremely thankful that I was sent here to the prep school first though, because of how much I've improved physically and in my foundation in academics. (And believe me, I'm still working hard on both!)
