Hey there all! I hope you’re doing well! I’m applying to all three of the service academies, and I’m in the finishing touches of my applications for all of them. I just took my CFA yesterday morning and was wondering how my scores looked? I haven’t received any contact from the academies yet regarding if I passed them or not, but I would expect some next week.

Scores:
B-Ball throw: 82 Ft
Pull-ups: 10
Shuttle run: 8.1 Secs
Sit-ups: 76
Pushups: 75 (maxed)
Mile run: 6:21

Thanks for your imput everyone!

Good luck, and I’ll let others comment on your core query, but I will gently suggest you not use the phrase “all three of the service academies” in written work or in interviews. It makes it seem you have not fully researched available opportunities, are unaware of the other Federal service academies or not giving them their due. You never know who is sitting on your interview panels.

Your scores look fine. No need to worry.
 
I would second what @captmj said. During interviews you need to be prepared to answer a myriad of questions. Doing a lot of reading and research in on all 5 service academies is vital. Your scores do look good. I would say this; it is early in the application process. Can you train and improve and submit an even better score? You have the time. An early application is nice. If it is impeccable. If you can improve and not injure self why wouldn’t you? Best of luck to you.

Looks very good. I'd feel comfortable submitting those scores without a redo.

Granted you can always do better to get more WCS "points." However, my opinion is the juice isn't worth the squeeze with your scores at this point. Concentrate on all the apps you need to do and you really don't have to work on the CFA per se anyway. It's done. One less worry.

Keeping PT'ing and stay healthy.
