We don't know exactly how USNA Admissions scores and weighs CFA results. What I do know is that I saw an official Admissions video indicating that doing better can help. Most BGOs will tell you that if you Pass (and we don't know exactly what the passing scores are) its probably best to focus on other areas to improve (such as ACT/SAT scores). In the case of my son (now in his last year at Navy), he is so humbly competitive that he trained for nearly one year before taking the CFA during Summer Seminar. He scored very high. He also maxed out on the USCGA equivelent test during AIM and received an award at AIM graduation. During his time at USNA, he has maxed out on the PRT every single time, which allows him to skip the next PRT test (and he earned extra overnight liberty for maxing out). He has one more PRT, this fall, and he's done with PRTs (assuming he maxes out again-which he says is easy for him). He was a track runner in HS and first year at Navy and he just doesn't settle for "passing" on anything he does-nothing. So for him it's about being the best he can be-in everything he does. Right now he's on an EOD Cruise at Little Creak, VA (EOD Group 2), where physical endurance/performance is a key aspect for the three weeks. Not all, MIDN are that competitive. My advice is that it's up to your DS if he wants to take it again Or if he wants focus on other aspects. He should just remember that physical condition is not just an Admissions issue...it's important throughout the 47 months and beyond. Good luck.
