CFA Retake

[tall_man22]

Ok so I had to resubmit my original CFA push up video a few days ago because it wasn't filmed correctly and I injured my rotator cuff (thankfully not a tear) shortly before my retake so my score dropped to 36 push ups but there is no more time to rectify at this point. I know this is God-awful and I am worried about failing. Would West Point contact USAFA about a (since I am applying there as well) score discrepancy? I am worried that USAFA will consider this as an issue.

The minimum amount of pushups you need to pass is 35. I was in similar situation when I injured myself at the gym and only did 41, as oppose to my initial 74. As long as they consider 35 out of your 36 push-ups perfect, you passed.

Minimum is 30, I passed with 34 and have confirmed minimums.

34 good, proper pushups*

Got a few DQ'd

I was told 35, but that's even better for OP then; he just needs 30 out of his 36 pushups to be perfect.
