Going from memory alone, it looks like SATs are down a little from previous years.
Perhaps, anyone your age should not "Go from memory alone"
Let's break apart the idiocy you just posted:
In a few weeks the USMA will post a more comprehensive class profile. You can then statistically break it apart if that sort of thing is fun for you.
Anyone who knows anything about the SAT's should know that the test was changed in 2006. Therefore you cannot compare scores from the old test and the new test. Therefore we only have TWO years of statistical data from which to draw. Therefore it is difficult to make any assumptions on the raising and lowering of SAT's.
I have no idea what the average SAT was last year - the 2010 class profile breaks it down by percentiles, but I am willing to guess it is not statistically different.
Are SAT's important? yes. But, they are only a part of the equation.
Reading between the lines, they basically only list one EC and then break out team captains. They must hold athletic team captains in great stead.
As mentioned above a more comprehensive class profile will be posted shortly. It will include a complete breakdown of eagle scouts, class presidents etc.
Athletics - as a matter of fact, yes - West Point does "hold athletic team captains in great stead". They do so for good reason.
Varsity athletics and being a team captains show leadership. As a team captain you are a peer leader of a team. West Point develops leaders.
As one can see from the condensed class profile posted (thanks! Momoftwins!), it is very difficult to get an appointment without having earned a Varsity letter.
Applicants to multiple service academies need to realize that while they are all very similar - there are concrete differences. These differences are reflected in the mission of not only the academy but the mission of the service.
