What do they look for in a Re-App

[FreeBird15]

Good Afternoon,

Dose anyone know what they look for in a reapp?

Do they care if I retook the SAT, or just this semester's grades?

I have looked at that I was hoping for some inside information

No one has the inside information that you are looking for. Give them your best application and look at all the other re-applying threads.

Here is the inside information:

1. Figure out why you did not get appointed last year. Hopefully, you did a debrief with admissions after your turndown last year
and if not, did a deep dive on your record and figure out where you fell short.
2. Show admissions what you've done to improve those deficient areas. If your math grades were ho-hum, show NEW math
grades on harder stuff. If your CFA was below average, show how you now crushed it.
3. No need to improve in areas where you already were a standout so if you had a 1500 on the SATs, taking it again is probably
not needed.

If it makes you feel better, I'm a three timer, and in NROTC haha.

The best inside information: Follow what the primary source advises (as provided by @Capt MJ) and what @OldRetSWO adds as a supplement. That’s all the “secret sauce” you need.

Attend a civilian college and pour your heart and soul into getting an A in both calculus and chemistry.

Do good academically and continue to be involved in your community and school. Retaking the SAT won’t hurt, but you are already in college so it is not a big component.
