Hello,

I took my CFA this morning and felt confident in my scores. However, I quickly realized I had not gotten a video of my pull ups or push ups. I'd prefer to not take it again if possible because I was satisfied with my scores. Is there any way that I could submit a video of me doing it seperately or would it just be easiest for me to take it again?

Thank you.

Congratulations on performing well. West Point requires candidates to submit videos of pull-ups and push-ups during the six part test. It's evidence of your fitness under growing stress. Good luck!
 
Contact your RC and get his/her advise. My DD took the videos separately as she didn’t score to pass it.

You will get mixed advise her, go to the source who will evaluate you.
 
Agree with @txfwindian about going straight to the source. At the same time, imagine that conversation with admissions as you aim to enter an SA — and a profession — in which attention to detail and consistent fitness are paramount.

“I neglected/forgot to do the video (like the instructions specifically stated and like thousands of candidates before me have done). Do I really have to do it all again? I just don’t want to do the CFA again. Can I get special treatment because I made a mistake?”

Hmmm…
 
DS had to redo his videos just because I am a poor cameraman and got the angles wrong even though his push-up and pull-up numbers were good

There is a set of requirements that do not appear to be flexible
 
You can redo just the pullups and pushups...we did the CFA somewhere else and just need to redo the pullups and pushups for WP
