I agree with the above posters responses. I will add one thing from your original post.
I also have a 4.77 Weighted GPA.
No offense, but one of my irks is when candidates/posters post their weighted gpa and very little else academically, especially not what it is out of for weighted grading. There are over 2K HS in the nation and the weight system varies a lot. Is it out of 5.0 or 6.0?
~ I am not sure when it comes to USNA, but I am almost 100% positive for USAFA your wcgpa would be changed (lowered) for their records because they use a 4.5 scale. Thus, if they use a max 4.5, than you will drop no matter what. more so if it is 6.0
~ This will also be part of the equation for your academic record from a different aspect. Does your school use a 7 pt scale or 10 pt for uwcgpa? I believe they use a 10 point, not a 7 pt. IOWS, if an 84 is a C at your school, but at another school it is a solid B, than the uwcgpa can change.
PAR portion of the WCS is just not your SAT/ACT scores. Your transcript will include a ton of things, such as rigor and rank. % of students that take APs. % that go Ivy, 4 yr private, 4 yr public, 2 yr and work force. Plus, the afore mentioned...scale and weight for your wcgpa/cgpa.
Finally Davy, do you have a nomination in hand? Do your MoCs interview? If they do interview and you are given the opportunity to interview, what will you say when they ask why such a large discrepancy between the M and E on your ACT to overcome any qualms?
~ Hard to say test anxiety if you got a 34 on M.
Remember in the end you still need that nomination to get an appointment. Yes, you can take the exam again, but if you don't get a nom., because the MoC submitted their slate 11/1 than it is moot.
~ If you are a junior, than take it again, and again every time offered throughout the spring.
I too, am not trying to be Debbie Downer, just trying to let you know that from what you posted regarding your wgpa, it might be changed by USNA to their algorithm and 4.77 might not be it.
I hope you also applied for NROTC scholarship as plan B.
