I’m trying to apply to USNA and I’ve taken one SAT in May. My score is 1680 (R:500, M:590, W:590) and I know it’s definitely not competitive. I’m retaking the SAT in November and taking first round of ACT on Oct 24. On the Preliminary Application, I see they require me to enter my SAT score. However, as I already said, my score is poor. I’m wondering if I don’t receive an official candidate status because of my poor SAT score, whether I’ll be granted another chance to improve (SAT/ACT score, for example) and fill out the Preliminary Application again to obtain official candidate status. Should I go ahead and submit my Preliminary Application although my current SAT score is poor or should I wait until I receive my new scores from October ACT/November SAT (assuming I improved) and then submit the Preliminary Application with new (higher) scores? Please don’t post any discouraging or offensive comment please. I’m working hard to improve. I’m also wondering if living in a US territory has any influence on my chance. Thank you for taking your time to answer my question.
Can someone help me on this please?
