How is each part of the application weighted?

[MitchBomber]

I'm applying to USMMA and I was wondering how academics part (grades, SAT scores, essay) and the Candidate Fitness Assessment are put together to form a final application? Do you get points on each part and require a certain number of points to get in? Or some other way?

I was hoping someone else would give a good, definitive answer so we could both learn something!

On a serious note: What you are asking for is an answer to one of the great mysteries all candidates ask. You will probably never get a "cook book" answer; if that's what you're looking for. I will say that the CFA is a pass/fail event. At least that's the case in the hundreds of test results I've sent to KP. If you fail one event you fail the test. Pass all events; pass the test.

With regard to SAT and ACT scores, the USMMA publishes minimums. Get above the mins and you will still be competive. How competitive? See:
http://www.usmma.edu/admissions/class-profile at the bottom of the page to see how you stack up.

Some academic items are beyond your control - the high school profile and percentage moving on to college will be looked at. Within your control - your GPA and the classes you take.

I will say that if you have the opportunity to take Physics in high school; do it! (This advice is from the guy that runs the USMMA Prep School.)
