Militarylax2010- answered your post in blue:
I just received the principle nomination from my congressman to USMA. From my understanding if I am triple qualified then I automatically gain an appointment. What does it mean to be triple qualified?
Triple qualified (or 3Q'd) means that you are qualified:
1)Scholastically (grades, Test scores, activities, leadership potential, character, integrity).
2)Medically (DoDMERB qualified)
3)Physically (passed the CFA)
To receive an appointment you must be 3Q'd with a nom.
You are one step better because you have a principal nom which means IF you are 3Q'd you will receive an appointment.
Also, I am attending a civil prep school but am non-aog scholarship and I am a second year applicant, do the requirements change to with having that? Is there less importance on the SAT/ACT's since I have proven that I can do college level work? Thank you.
The requirements do change a little, but some parts of the application you just have to re-do:
1) you must have 2 SOEs from college professors
2) you must submit your 8th semester High School transcript
3) you must submit your 1st Semester college transcript
4) you must re-take the CFA
6) you will need to re-do your essay
5) your DoDMERB exam is good for two years so this won't need to be redone if you are medically qualified and there are no changes in your medical status.
6) you must re-apply for a nom ( which you have already done)
7) it is recommended that you re-do your CAR as well
8) it is recommended that you retake the SAT/ACT especially if that is an area that you were deficient in on your last year's application. This is typically the easiest way to dramatically improve your competitive odds of admission.
Just saw your latest post.
Your file will not be reviewed for qualification until WP receives your 1st Semester transcript.
I would recommend you retake your SAT/ACT. I feel pretty confident in saying that your current math scores would not qualify you academically. That said, your college grades will be taken into consideration especially since your classes reflect Plebe classes. You have taken a heavy load of hard classes which is to your benefit. Hopefully you did really well in calculus too.
If I were you, I would be in contact with my MALO/FFR or RC at WP. They would be better able to tell you if your college grades are sufficient and based on that if they recommend retaking the SAT/ACT. They know your file and would be better able to advise you.
