Let me give you a little advice. My daughter is at the USAFA doing her BCT. I know a pilot who once worked for the Naval Academy on the Admissions board. He told me that once they had a person who took the SAT and scored a 2200. While another person scored an 1800. They gave an appointment to the person who scored the 1800 and not the person who scored a 2200. The reason why is that the person who scored the 2200, took the SAT's once and felt 2200 was good enough. While the person who scored the 1800 took it numerous times to try and better there score. He said they always look for Candidates who always try to better themselves. Of course there is a lot more to getting in (Athletics, Leadership, GPA, etc).
I'm not going to argue what the Navy possibly does in their admissions process; but I have my doubts on an individual not receiving an appointment because they only took the SAT only once.
Wow, I got my info from someone who was on the Admission board. I guess both of you were on the Admission board too. You seem to question what I was told. Why should anyone else post messages on these boards? You both seem to know everything!
