Interesting Fact about USMA and the SAT/ACT

[Mom517]

You are implying that I am implying. Re-read my posting

"So your message without a full disclosure or better context reinforces such belief. My personal opinion that doesn't work. If I have take a guess you being a female plus other factors lead to your LOA, not community service and sports."

So the "other factors" that was not disclosed were.



We can even further break down as to what type of high school hopenhack attends as to being the #1 at a high school that sends only small percentage of graduates to college carries less weight than a high school that sends the majority of its graduate to college. What is an "Honor" class? Every could be 1 or 10. The admissions process can be very subjective and emotional. Regardless what we think, the fact is that the Whole Candidate Score is based on a formula. Most cases, a candidate with the WCS gets the appointment over a "whole person" candidate with a lower WCS.

My point was about doing a full disclosure. My intent was to make sure other candidates understand that "community service and sports" won't necessarily mitigate average SAT/ACT scores, not to imply that hopenhack got in because of her gender. The Whole Candidate Score is based on a formula, not a wishful thinking. Yes the admissions office has some latitude to adjust the whole candidate score, as I understand it, but no matter how a candidate might be a "whole" person that doesn't change the formula of the whole candidate score.

You are correct you didn't "imply" anything, you clearly stated your opinion-and here it is again: "If I have take a guess you being a female plus other factors lead to your LOA, not community service and sports." You can't breakup the equation you presented now to explain away the post. (But you should do a spell check and grammar check before you do next time)
Female + other factors = LOA. You wrote it, we didn't.

These forums seem to always run off the rails lately. They have gotten snottier and snottier (if that's even a word). And I've noticed they have perpetuated everyone's paranoia regarding why "I" or "my DS/DD" hasn't received their appointment yet. We will never know the entire reasoning behind every appointment and we all probably need to go away from these forums for a while and let the cards fall where they may. Good luck to everyone who is waiting to hear and everyone who has already been appointed!!
