<p>Yeah, I’d say you have a decent chance. Everything looks good besides the SAT’s. If you take them one or two more times and can improve about 120 points or so, you’ll have a great shot. It also kinda depends on where you’re from, too. Your math score is going to have to be high, and if it is 680+, the others probably won’t be a problem, but I would definitely retake them once or twice more. The people in the West Point forum on here could give you some more perspective. I wanted to go to West Point but I was rejected, now I’m at the Naval Academy. All of the service academies are looking for roughly the same thing if you’re wondering about the others.</p>
<p>thanks, I know I have to get my math scores up because I only got a 590 on them but my liaison told me that they should be good enough because West Point looks for a combined 1200 on math and reading, And I got a 1250</p>
<p>I have also been inducted into the National latin honors society and the national honors society</p>
<p>you have a nice shot</p>
<p>West Point is a little different than other prestigious schools.</p>
<p>For example, you can be from an old military family and have below mediocre scores and still go. Are you from an old military family?</p>
<p>Not really, but both my grandfathers served in the army (one in WWII, one in Korea) I also have a step grandfather who landed at Iwo Jima. One of my uncles also just finished a 22 year career in the Army</p>
<p>you cant go to west point unless you have a recommendation from your US senator..</p>
<p>the academies love sports. and if ur captain of the football team. thats a huge bonus. ur SAT scores are pretty high and so is ur GPA. i know people who have had 1000-1100 and went. im pretty sure you could get into one of the academies, but you need volunteer work and community service. be well-rounded.</p>
<p>I know, I am working on it but luckily it seems as though I have some pretty good connections, thanks</p>
<p>I just found out I got a 27 on the ACT’s, I am planning on retaking both SAT’s abd ACT’s again</p>
<p>…West Point forum is under the “US Service Academy” forum. You will get better responses there.</p>
<p>thanks…</p>
