<p>I've been informed that inorder to be accepted to WP that you had to reach a certain number of points. Is that true? If so how do you gain those points?</p>
<p>I think you are referring to the whole candidate score.
From West Point.org</p>
<p>"Whole candidate score - that by which USMA admissions judges the candidate is made up as follows: 60% academic, 30% leadership and 10% PAE. The 60% academic is comprised of the SAT/ACTs, the candidate's transcript and the level of difficulty of courses the candidate has taken, and the level of competitiveness of the candidate's school. The 30% leadership comes from extracurricular activities, athletic activities, community service activities, teacher recommendations and the interview conducted by the field force officer. The 10% PAE is the physical aptitude test."</p>
<p>If you do a search you will find lots of posts on this topic.
Good luck!</p>
<p>thanks I appreciate it</p>
<p>Is the 10% PAE just all or nothing depending on pass or fail or do they give special consideration to those who had above average scores?</p>
<p>its graded</p>
