cfa

Currently, I am a junior and I'm starting to prepare myself for the onslaught of academy applications. I keep on reading about the importance of sports, and I have participated in track since my freshman year, and this past year I started XC. Recently, however, I had to stop doing track because...

I took my CFA and passed all events except for the basketball throw. I threw 49 ft. I was authorized a retake almost immediately after my first test. I have been practicing the basketball throw and have gotten up to 58 ft. I was wondering if this is passable?

Hey! I took my CFA recently, and I'm worried about two of my scores. I had to do a flexed arm hang and could only stay up for 15 seconds, and my mile time was like 8:22. However, I hit the average for the basketball throw and push ups, and I maxed out sit ups. My shuttle run was a little slow...

I already submitted my CFA scores about a week ago to the Academy but upon closer examination I'm a little nervous that they aren't as good as I thought they were... Basketball throw 35', Pullups 1, Shuttle run 10s, Sit ups 79, Pushups 35, mile run 6:12. I feel like other peoples scores were...

Hi all, My PE teacher submitted my CFA scores from today and my portal immediately read the following statement under the CFA section: "Received and Processed by USAFA. Date Assessment was taken: 10/26/2018" To the right of this followed a check mark. I remember reading on this forum several...

Once you have submitted your CFA, how do you know if you have passed or qualified? My son submitted his CFA and videos and everything is checked off on his portal but I am unclear as to whether this means he is qualified for the fitness portion of his application.

My CFA scores are currently below average in a few categories, but they are still passing according to my counselor. I am wondering if strong academic scores (like a 1470 SAT, 3.8 GPA, 4.7 GPA weighted in all AP/IB classes), might be able to make up for weaker CFA scores in the overall WCS for...

Hey all... I sadly did not attend this year's SLE, but I'm a 2023 hopeful from MT. I had a question about CFA events. My upper body strength has always been lacking. My CFA is pretty good, except for my pull ups. The most I've ever done is 8, but I normally test either 5 or 6. I've looked...

Pullups: 11 Situps: 74 Basketball Throw: 71 Mile: 6:43 Shuttle run: 8.6 seconds Pushups: 44 I'm aware that there are no published minimums, I am asking for your guys' opinion. I'm afraid I failed because of pushups, however, I believe I exceeded the averages in almost all the other...

Hello! I am currently working on my applications to the service academies, and they all need my CFA scores. I took and passed my CFA at SLE this summer, so is there any way to get my West Point CFA scores sent to the other academies? Thanks!

I realize that it is impossible to get a yes or no answer when asking what my odds are of being accepted into an academy so I am looking for feedback on ways to improve my application and the best way to go about doing it. High School Sophomore (HS Class of 2021) I go to a large 4A private...

I am a senior applying to multiple service academies and I just took my CFA last week, and I have a question regarding my performance. Scores: Basketball Throw: 66 ft (max-102 goal-69) Pullups: 17 (max-18 goal-12) Shuttle Run: 7.8 sec (max-7.8...

I read somewhere on this forum that the AFA will only accept one passing CFA score submittal. Once they've got a passing CFA score in the candidate queue they won't allow an improved re-take score to be re-submitted to replace the original passing score. Does anyone know if this is this true...

I have read up on the flexed arm hang instructions as followed... ► Climb steps, mount box/ platform, or ladder (or may be boosted up to the bar by an assistant) until her chin is above the bar (Figure 7). ► Mount the bar with a pronated grip (back of the hands facing the candidate) with chin...

I just got a call from an admissions officer and she is willing to offer me a letter of assurance (LOA); however, as a reapplicant she stated that I must first pass the CFA! So, the CFA is my top priority at the moment. My DODMERB is complete and now I am just in the waiver process with USMA. I...

I have almost completed the application packet (just waiting on teachers and BGO to submit stuff) and the only thing I really have left beside the nomination (which isn't competitive in my district, thankfully) is the CFA. I have been mainly focusing on improving my pushups, situps, and pullups...

Does anyone know how common it is for a candidate to MAX (102') the CFA Basket-Ball Throw? My DS is making great progress toward maxing out all of the other five CFA events, but the B-Ball throw is making the slowest progress. When he first started his CFA workout routine (more than three...

I am one of the 14,000 people who were rejected from USNA last year, and now that I am all settled at the University of Georgia (go dawgs) I have begun the process of reapplying, and I have been working out as much as I can to prepare for a CFA, but now I think I have been approaching it wrong...

Does anyone know of a private/public gym, high school, college/university campus or military base/armory in Wisconsin that offers to proctor official Candidate Fitness Assessments (CFA) for Service Academy and/or ROTC candidates? My DS has e-mailed the same question to his academy liaisons and...

Hi Everyone, I've seen a lot on this forum about running and thought I'd give my 2 cents. I'll be at BCT in 2 weeks and have been thinking a lot about the topic. Best advice I ever got was that running is almost all mental. Someone who runs a 8 minute mile can knock it down to a 6 minute if...
