Is this a disqualifying score?

Yesterday we took our CFA. Prior to this we had another one in December. The Defense Attache Office says that they will take the best out of the two and send in our scores. So far if I remember correctly, my scores were:
Basketball Throw: 70 ft.
Pull-Ups: 12
Shuttle Run: 8.3 seconds?
Modified Sit-Ups: 55
Push-Ups: 60
Mile Run: 8:07
Is this a bad score? The attache officer said that he will send a note along with our scores stating that we had to take the CFA in an extremely cold weather.

The mile may be slightly too low. In addition, sit-ups are cutting it close. Otherwise, good work.
 
Hey Sapper, I received my appointment to West Point 2 weeks ago. Here are my CFA scores.

Mile- 7:35
Push-ups- 59
Pull-ups- 12
Shuttle run- 8.2 seconds
Basketball throw- 73 feet
Modified sit-ups 55

As you can see we have very similar scores, I would not stress about it. If you are you may want to contact your officer and ask them their thoughts
 
I understand the focus on the CFA and admissions- makes sense at this stage. But bigger picture is that you want to be in optimal shape going into any service academy or ROTC program and as preparation for your future officer role.

DS has a roommate who seems to constantly be on remedials in ROTC - failing the fitness test at the start of each semester, putting his scholarship at-risk - he seems to lack motivation to hit the gym. The other guys pull him along to workouts and help with nutrition. He's exceptionally bright but has been warned in no uncertain terms that his 4.0 GPA in mechanical engineering will not be a substitute when they consider who will get the coveted SNA/ SNFO slots he states he very much desires - that unless he shapes up in the months ahead, he may not be recommended for that service selection path. Take each week of the year ahead to improve your run fitness and any other gaps as needed. It's not just about the eval - that will position you well for the stresses that would await you at USMA.

Good luck - are you also applying to the Naval Academy? Like USMA, USNA had more than a few foreign midshipmen at service selection a week or so ago who will return to service in their respective home navy after graduation. Good luck.
