I learned about USNA literally last night and I’m already set on applying. I know I’m extremely far behind in the process however. After reading USNA’s website, I realized that I need a nomination from a senator or congressman. Luckily for me their deadlines aren’t until late November. But I didn’t create this thread to talk about nominations. I have some reservations with my test scores.
1) For a class of 2023 applicant, how many more attempts do we have at these tests? Would the December test date for both the SAT and ACT be the last opportunity for score improvement?
2) My scores as of now aren’t stellar. I have yet to take the SAT and I have a 27 English and a 28 math for the ACT. Should I wait for score improvements before sending the scores? Or should I get the application done and update the scores as needed.
3) And lastly, I would like help interpreting the USNA class profiles. According to the profile, the middle 50% of the admitted class had a 26-32 English and a 27-32 math. So my current scores would put me in the middle 50%. However after searching through the “chance me” threads on this forum, a lot of candidates were reporting scores in the mid 30’s. How does this correlate to the class profile? I know this forum only makes up a small percentage of the total applicants. But does this forum represent the more competitive types of candidates? If someone could explain this a bit more, that’d be greatly appreciated.
