<p>I got
600 CR
710 M
730 W</p>
<p>Should I retake to improve my CR?</p>
<p>Also, next year is my senior year and I got this really prestigous internship to NIH, but I won't be able to do sports if I do it. Should I accept it?</p>
<p>Yes. Internships look amazing on college apps.</p>
<p>No, I am taking about westpoint. Will they care that I am doing an internship instead of sports?</p>
<p>Yes - retake your SATs. It is always a mistake to think what you have is "good enough" and not try and improve. That way you will have no regrets down the line.</p>
<p>With regard to the NIH internship, it's a tough decision. What are your goals? What field would your internship be in? My guess is that for USMA, if you have to choose one, sport is more important. Sport participation is weighed heavily in the admissions process. As always, it is best to speak to your Regional Commander in admissions and ask his/her opinion.</p>
<p>This may give you some background as to how sport participation is viewed at USMA:</p>
<p>"The mission of West Point is to provide the nation with “leaders of character.” The ultimate test of military leadership is in combat. On the athletic fields and courts, company, club, and corps squad athletes encounter some of the conditions and circumstances resembling those that they may face in combat. This concept was recognized by General Douglas MacArthur when he stated “Upon the fields of friendly strife are sown the seeds that upon other fields, on other days, will bear the fruits of victory.” </p>
<p>Athletic participation is an ideal laboratory environment for cadets to develop leadership skills. When properly designed and implemented, and based on the principles of fair play, athletic participation contributes significantly to the mission of the Academy. When refined through practice, athletic participation supports the development of Army Values: loyalty duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity, physical and moral courage. </p>
<p>An underlying principle at West Point is “Every cadet an athlete, every athlete challenged.” Therefore, every cadet is required to participate in the competitive sports program during the fall, winter, and spring seasons and at a level of competition consistent with a cadet’s ability. "</p>
