I have a hard time of getting good Test Scores. Other than that I have an excellent and well rounded resume. Is this going to stop me from getting accepted or considered?

But...I went to Northwestern Prep (thank you USAFA and Falcon Foundation) and the focus for me was SAT and ACT preparation.
i was accepted into the academy this year and my SAT scores were nothing incredible, but i'll say that i was very surprised on how well i did on the ACT...so my advice: try both!
YES YES YES!!!
I can't emphasize this enough!! Take BOTH...
Here's a little gem that folks have been trying to pin down since I was in HS...and folks that was...well...let's just say the Bicentennial was a fun party!
Folks in the "East" tend to do better on the SAT while folks in the "West" tend to do better on the ACT.
Why?
Nobody has figured that one out, no good statistician, nobody...but the numbers over the decades bear this out.
So do BOTH...and decide which is YOUR test...and then nail that sucka!
