<p>I was wondering, if the PAE scores figure into admissions process. I heard from somewhere that they "higher you get, the better the chances"? Is that true?</p>
<p>EDIT: I know if you fail it, you aint going in.</p>
<p>YEs... it's pass/fail but at the same time they do do a cumulative point thing w/ all your events and it counts 10% towards your admissions score</p>
<p>and yes if you fail you aint goen</p>
<p>wait so your saying the admissions process is a point based system thingy?</p>
<p>Here's a link to a good powerpoint presentation by the Director of Admissions of USMA - <a href="http://www.usma.edu/PublicAffairs/club/Admissions.ppt%5B/url%5D">www.usma.edu/PublicAffairs/club/Admissions.ppt</a></p>
<p>One of the slides shows the percentages for the Whole Candidate Score - which includes the PAE.</p>
<p>there are many other factors that go into the admissions process.. but in Lamence terms... yes it's a point system</p>
<p>10% PAE/ALO interview
60% acadeemics
30% Extra curricular/leadership/volunteer etc</p>
<p>what is PAE?</p>
<p>physical aptitude exam</p>
<p>Here is a link to the admissions site which describes the PAE which is now called the CFA (Candidate Fitness Assessment) </p>
