Pfe score

[hopefull2022]

So I have been practicing the pfe and always get about 210. How is this going to affect my overall package? Is this going to look bad to admissions? I applied EA and take my test monday

This is all just my opinion. I’m also an early action applicant.

On the scoring chart, 210 is considered a C. I would say that it’s not going to help your application but it might not hurt. To put into perspective, your PFE score is 8 points below the average class of 2025s PFE taken over swab summer.

I personally would say that having an average score won’t make difference as far as getting accepted or denied. It’s going to come down to your academics and activities.

I personally am hoping my PFE score will make up for my low SAT.

As long as your PFE is in the range of the average for incoming swabs (it is close), then it probably won't really help or hurt either way. With an average PFE though, you should have some other way to show your strength in athletics.

On the subject of PFEs, does anyone know how much the PFE can help? I know West Point considers the CFA (West Points physical exam) as 10% of the total evaluation. Does the PFE hold about the same weight with the CGA?

I'm going to be really honest with you here - there's nothing you can do about it now, so please don't take it personally, it's simply to help you and others in the future if need be - a PFE score will almost certainly not make up for a low SAT. I obviously don't know specifics of how low of an SAT or how high of a PFE, but to any future applicants who might be reading this - the CGA places a much, much greater emphasis on Academics than the PFE. I know some places that's less true (e.g. NROTC MO), but it certainly is at CGA. Obviously a low SAT/High PFE is better than low SAT/low PFE, but still. A better course of action probably would have been to wait for Regular Admission and take some SAT improvement courses or self study out of a book for longer or whatever.

So how much would you say it matters. I personally have above average academic stats and am a 2 sport athlete and one of the best female athletes in the school. I just don’t run fast

This is where states that have SAT's have such an advantage over California. Sooooo many tests are cancelled here and in many cases here, you get one shot and one shot only.

At the end of Swab Summer, cadets are expected to score at least 165 or better. So without even starting this, you're well above that. Your score will only go higher and higher, if accepted. As a female, I would be happy with this score to apply with.

That is a shame. I had one test cancell on me bc of covid but other than was good. I self studied a week before my test and was able to score very high on it. How many times were you able to take it, and what are your sat and ACT score. If your around average im sure youll be good, especially if you have strong extracurriculars. Good luck maybe we will be at the school togther!
