<p>What kind of a score would be considered a 'strong' SAT score at USNA?</p>
<p>Go to the admissions section of the USNA web site and look over the class profile; you can draw your own conclusions. Beyond that everything else will be a matter of opinion.</p>
<p>I'm going to give you an answer that you're looking for because people will waver around your question without giving you guidelines.</p>
<p>A good Math score is above 650. A strong Math score is above 700.
A good verbal score is above 620. A strong verbal score is above 680.</p>
<p>If you have "strong" Math and Verbal, your set in that department. What you don't want to have are "weak" scores (Under 600 Math, 570 Verbal).</p>
<p>Overall, a good score out of 1600 is about 1250 and a strong score is above 1350.</p>
<p>Just using class profiles and what I've seen and heard from people who sit on admissions board in all of these numbers.</p>
<p>GoNavy, that's about as straightforward explanation of this one I've seen. Nice job! It woulda been near perfect had you given the ACT comp scores ... ;) Could ya, would ya? :eek:</p>
<p>Anything over a 28 is pretty good for an ACT score but thats just a guess to what it really is</p>
<p>do they still translate your SAT scores into ACT figures and allow higher SAT scores that have been converted to ACT scores to stand above weaker ACT scores? (say that five times fast)</p>
<p>Thanks, GoNavyXC. That was just the kind of answer I was looking for.</p>
<p>They translate ACT scores into SAT language.</p>
<p>i thought i read in the candidate book that it was the other way around.</p>
<p>thanx 13274875 that really help</p>
<p>They will look at either your SAT or ACT scores and will take the highest score from either test. If your Oct math sat score is your highest, and your june ACT score in verbal is your highest, those are the scores they willl evaluate. In the calculation of your whole person score, the math will be weighed a bit more than your verbal score. IT does not matter if you take SATs or ACTs, the USNA has a conversion chart to compare the scores. </p>
<p>The official line of USNA is that there are no “minimum” SAT scores, however the numbers posted above are on board with the most competetive candidate groups. The scores become more flexible if you are a candidate very desirable at the academy [that can include SOME blue chip athletes and diversity candidates]. We can go on and on about the merrits of that, so don’t shoot the messinger.</p>
