Basically the title. I'm a sophomore now and I took the new SAT in August and got a 1550. I was wondering how much that is weighed in the admissions process and how it can help/hurt your chances. Thanks!

I'm still in high school but, having taken both classes, I'd recommend A since it teaches you real programming. Principles doesn't give you a ton of help actually coding and even though A is based on java, it is pretty easy to go between languages once you have the basis for one. Just my two cents

Thanks so much for sharing that! I just listened and it was exactly what I was looking for!

Hi all I'm currently a sophomore and I'm thinking of either trying for an SA or going into ROTC. My biggest issue right now is fitness. I can run fairly fast and I'm working on doing more sit-ups, however I can not get out a push-up in the correct form. I was wondering, for the rotc route...

Hi! I was just wondering: how are you able to do extra curricular things, like the ski patrol and model Arab league, with how stringent a schedule you have? Also, during beast what was the most difficult part mentally and physically for you? Thanks!

That would be great!

To any new or previous plebes - What was the hardest part, personally, of your experience during plebe summer or year? What was the best part? Did you ever doubt that you should be there? When did you get a feeling that you knew you were in the right place? Thank you to all!

I read before that BGOs and the academy value what you do with your time over the summers but I was wondering if they prefer people having summer jobs or people volunteering. I'm a current sophomore trying to plan my summer and prepare myself for starting applications. Also, on an unrelated...

Congrats! Good luck on the nominations!! What were the CFA scores?

Ok. Do you know if certain jobs are considered more relevant than others? For example would it be better to work at my local nursing home, at a fast food chain, and a retail store, or somewhere else?

Thanks for the input on the book. I had already bought the book, I was just looking to see if it had given any helpful things to other people but I understand your points. Also, to someone's point about getting a job. Due to my schedule during the school year it wouldn't be feasible but I was...

Thanks! I've started reading it and I'm already finding it really helpful. As a current high school sophomore, would it be helpful for me to start talking with my BGO, MOC, both, or neither?

Thanks! I'll start reading through the book as soon as I can! [emoji2]

Thanks for the 'insight' [emoji6] But for the first time I'd like to say.... GO NAVY BEAT ARMY! [emoji16]

I just got the book about the academy by sue Ross. Have others read it? Does it give useful tips and info? Thanks again for the help!
