<p>First, when will USNA start opening files for juniors who applied to SS? Also, when the file is opened, do they automatically update your file with new test scores that are sent to them, or do we have to send scores then notify them? How early can you have taken a test (ACT or SAT) and have it saved in your file? Stupid ?s, but I am just curious, as I took some tests early this year and (due to the fact that I am a junior) don't have a file yet.</p>
<p>as a junior, you can submit a peliminary application on-line (this is also accomplished by applying to summer seminar)... once you apply, notify the college board to send your SAT scores. SAT scores can be sent starting in January of your junior year, right up to January of your senior year.</p>
<p>If you retake the SATs (which you should- most kids go up an average of 100 pts the second time around) you have to once again notify the college board to send your results to the academy, and to whatever other school you are applying to. You do not have to notify USNA that you are sending updated scores....they will log them into your file once they receive them from the college board itself.</p>
<p>At some point in Sept of senior year, you may also have to send your SAT scores to your nominating sources (MOC's)....most will require them (the VP nomination will not).</p>
<p>Ok, so that means I will re-send my October and December scores. Does anyone know if USNA (or any of the academies for that matter) requires the writing test on the ACT? I've only heard that they recommend it, but that was for 2011. And thank you Navy2010, your s/d may be my cadre in about 17 months... kinda wierd thinking about that now, but it's certainly possible.</p>
<p>please clarify- oct and dec scores????</p>
<p>SAT scores starting in January of junior year can be sent....as far as I know, not oct/dec scores from junior year.</p>
<p>(if you are referring to Oct/dec scores from senior year , those are fine... but again, the earliest scores you can send are from January of your junior year, and anyting you take after that point). </p>
<p>as for being a cadre..... he's gotta get through the rest of calc before that happens!!! But lets hope so!!! ;)</p>
<p>Technically, if one SAT score, all previous test scores are also sent regardless of which the USNA uses. Good luck. Go get 'em.</p>
<p>My daughter completed all of her testing (PSAT,ACT,SAT,SATII) in October of her Junior year. USNA accepted them without a problem or comment.</p>
<p>p-piper, did your daughter send those scores directly to USNA when she took the tests, or did she wait and send them later(after January 1st)? For the October and December ACT's, I sent them directly to USNA, so USNA would have received my score reports as early as mid-November. Would they have thrown those reports out? I have to send them October's scores because I have my higher Math score, and my December scores have a higher science score. I did notice though that in the USNA catalog and class profiles, and on the SS/preliminary application, they only reported/asked for Math and English scores from the ACT. The other academies(who I am also applying to) do report and ask for Science and Reading scores. Does USNA even look at Science or Reading from ACT?</p>

<p>My son was in the same situation regarding the SAT scores. He took the test in Oct, Nov, and Dec of his Junior year. The academy doesn't throw those scores away; however, they don't add them to your file either since you don't have one. My son contacted the records examiner for his region in June and asked to have the scores added to his file. Eventually, the scores will show up in your file without any action on the candidates part.</p>

<p>NO.</p>
<p>Thank you GreatAmerican.</p>
<p>I would hold off on sending them to USNA until after you receive your candidate number for the CIS. I sent the Jan 2006 SAT scores of my junior year from collegeboard to USNA a little bit after I had submitted my NASS application---those scores never transferred over to my Candidate Info System database thing, so I just resent them after my October 2006 test..</p>
<p>they accepted scores from march of my soph year, as well as december of my junior year</p>
<p>dyenior_2008, once you apply to summer seminar THAT is your initial application to USNA- So in essence you have already opened an application process to USNA. The long online stuff you filled out for SS application has alot of questions that USNA looks at not only for acceptance to SS, but to look at one for admission. There is a little formula - I think it's the number 5, but it could be 4...that once USNA gets 5 pieces of information from you, they start moving your application towards a DoMERB request, and serious looking at your application for the Class of 2012. So you apply to SS, you submit your SAT scores, your SAT2 scores, possibly ACT scores...and these tally up towards 'contact' from you and if they are interested in you, they contact you starting in the Spring of your junior year with a yes or no to SS and then in the summer a DoDMERB request, and the ball gets rolling.</p>
<p>Do the BGO's on this site recall the number of 'contacts' USNA gets before they move into things like DoDMERB requests with a candidate?</p>
