Appointment Statistics

[crhath]

33 ACT and 1530 SAT got me into USMA and USAFA in a competitive district. I originally got a 28 and 1320 but studied like crazy to improve which maybe they liked. Anything above 30 or 1400 proves you are academically qualified—in my opinion.

Congrats!! An 1100 SAT may also mean you are academically qualified...DD got into USMMA as well.

It doesn’t matter because people have been denied with 35s and people gotten accepted with 27s all depends on the whole application

This ^ You can't judge the potential success of your application on just the academics and especially the SAT/ACT scores. The AF is looking at the "Whole Person" and your activities along with the interviews and a myriad of other considerations are all important. Don't over extend yourself in too many things, but show excellence and resilience in your select sports/extracurriculars and show your ability to adapt, be flexible and lead.

Just out of curiosity, what did your other statistics look like? Extracurriculars, CFA, etc.

3.8ish GPA

A few other ECs here and there, like #ICANHELP, but nothing else "major".

Two senator nominations (technically. Maryland will only actually award one so that they can nominate as many people as possible. I was informed in writing that if one hadn't given me a nom, the other would have.)

For some of the people that got appointed this year to USAFA what was your ACT/SAT?

ACT: 28, got in on that, took the SAT and got a 1360

Yes. A better way to phrase what I meant to say is that a 30 or 1400 makes you beyond academically qualified and can help to really impress admissions.

Remember that someone may do better on the other standardized test. I found the ACT to be easier than the old SAT back in the day, and I just focused on prepping for the ACT. It's good to try both
