CPR in CA

Thanks for the reply, when were you notified and for what Academy if I may ask?

Anyone hear back from California Senator Harris yet?

Thank you so much! Did he happen to say how competitive they were?

@usna1985 mind giving me your opinion, sir?

Hi everyone, my CFA scores are as follows (I'm a female): Ball throw: 55 ft Pull-Up: 1 Shuttle Run: 9.81 sec Sit ups: 95 (Max) Push ups: 50 (Max) 1 mile: 7:09 Is this worth retaking or are these competitive numbers? Does USNA weigh a CFA score heavily when comparing two candidates? Thank you!

In most instances (I say most because of the occasional LOA), an application is not even reviewed by the board for admission unless there is a nomination on file. Therefore, having a nomination does not have any 'benefit' - other than the huge fact that it puts your application in line for...

Wow, that's some good news- and relieving to hear! Congrats to him! If I may ask, do you know the competitiveness of your district? As a rising senior, I was accepted to Summer Seminar, only to hear that I was turned down by Admissions in March. This year, as a college re-applicant, I have been...

Hi usna1985, As you've been a consistent help throughout this thread I wanted to update you on a CFA I took this morning. Again, I am a female. Ball Throw: 53 Flexed arm hang: 5.3 seconds Shuttle run: 10.02 Sit ups: 84 Push ups: 50 (max) Mile: 7:40 All of my scores now are at average...

Hi all, I'm a first time college applicant. Must I use high school teachers for my SOE's, or may I use college professors? Thanks!

USNA and USMMA will do that, USMA will not from what I've been told

Unfortunately, no they will not. I have spoken to USMA numerous amounts of times in regards to this circumstance for myself - they will look at the best superscore of ONE test and will not mix the two. If they decide that your best test is your SAT, they will look at that superscore in total. If...

Hi, I just received a Letter of Encouragement to USMA. I received an LOA to USMMA last week. What does this LOE mean? & what do I need to do to continue towards an appointment? Would love some input. Thanks!

Hi, Little update: Retook the CFA. My scores this time around: Ball throw: 47 Shuttle run: 10.72 Flexed arm hang: 7 seconds Sit ups: 63 Push ups: 25... Mile run: 7:16 Definitely could have done better on the push ups, I just was already down because of my lower scores in everything...

Mine showed up by snail mail, followed by a change in my portal to 'LOA' a few days after
