You should be doing that type of research yourself - directly from the USCGA website class profile:I got a 1280 on my sat as was wondering how this stacks up. What should be like my target score that if I hit I’m very solid. Thanks
I guess I’m more or less asking for what competitive sat scores are for the uscgaI never get when someone asks for a 'target score' in taking standardized tests. No one goes into these tests planning to get a certain number of questions wrong or intending to skip a number of questions, so I don't understand how you would take the test any differently by having a target in mind.
Did he get in?My son got a 1430 - 710 English, 720 Math. He was also a National Merit commended scholar, whatever that’s worth.
There are applicants every year with near perfect scores that do not get admitted. There are also applicants with relatively low scores that do get admitted. Acceptance decisions are based on the whole applicant; academics is just one piece.Did he get in?
Every KP and CGA Grad have one thing in common - they all got accepted to KPI got denied with a 1360 back in 2015.
Previously they did. Now it is recommended but not required.Wait does USCGA require the essay?
thank you!Previously they did. Now it is recommended but not required.
Yes. He was offered an appointment during the EA cycle .Did he get in?
As much as I agree with the advice that USCGA looks at the whole candidate, I’ll try to answer your question. Your target should be the very best score you are able and/or capable of submitting. A score that will not detract from an otherwise stellar admissions package will likely need to be very close to the 14-1500 range. A 1280 is unlikely to move the needle in the direction needed for an appointment, especially a direct appointment. For an otherwise very strong candidate, your 1280 may not be disqualifying, but it is unlikely to help your case for admission and might hurt.I got a 1280 on my sat as was wondering how this stacks up.
