    Competitive disctricts

    Ok so I know the whole what does it matter you can't move line whenever somebody asks about the relative competitiveness of districts for getting a nomination but what if you can move or are considering a move. If you were hoping for a USAFA nomination where in Colorado would you move?

    I know USMA has stated they want a writing score but my question is does every test need to include writing? Basically DS took the ACT w/ writing in Dec, does he need to take it again? Will they take the scores without it as long as he has at least one with it?
