Hi Service Academy Forum,
I'm a prospective midn. in CA with a bad -- almost horrid -- CFA. Like, my scores are barely passing anecdotal minimums I've seen for pullups, crunches, pushups, and the 1MR. However, I feel like I have an okay application to balance it:
- 1590 SAT and 4.0
- founder of an app with ~1mil downloads
- 5-month SWE internship with a F500 tech firm
- team captain for UPenn Wharton investment competition
- two varsity captain positions
- 100+ hrs of community service with EMS squad and middle school robotics camps
- Student gov president position
- Received national award for research on naval/maritime history
- prestigious intl/natl. awards in debate, technology, and cybersecurity.
Anyways, how impactful is the CFA on your application in terms of the Whole Candidate Score? Really, that's my biggest concern right now. Of course, I'm trying to improve, but with the turning weather, time might be a resource I'm running out of. I apologize if I came across as ignorant or annoyingly unconfident.
