<p>I took my SATs on June 1 and will take my ACT to June 8... my psat score was 140 sooo I was wondering with prep b4 the sat, could my score increase? I'll update any scores when I receive them</p>
<p>Your GPA is most likely too low for WP. And if your 140 PSAT transfers into a 1400 SAT, I’d think there’s an extremely small chance you’d get a nomination…I had a 3.8 UW GPA and ranked in the top 5% of my class, and didn’t even get an offer to go to the summer program.</p>
<p>Well wut was ur SAT score? How did the application process go for u? Send me a private message plz Ma school doesn’t rank so it don’t knw if it would go towards my favor or not…</p>
<p>GPA is indeed a big issue, as will be SAT/ACT scores if your PSAT is any indication. Have you taken many AP classes? Or even honors? Even if you have, low GPA doesn’t look good.</p>
<p>screw GPA. Every high school is in for an inflation business.
raise your class rank and college entrance exam scores (they make up about 60% of your cadet file at WP Admissions).
also, competitiveness of your district matters as well.
don’t listen to self-claimed pundits.
only YOU dictate your destiny.
do your best in your given situation.
if you just do that, then you’ll get an opportunity.</p>

Boys State Delegate for June 2013 [very good]
Squad Leader at Tri-Service Camp [if I were you, I would take this BS position out of the candidate file. it looks way too desperate to impress any admissions officer.]
Going to receive several awards from veteran organizations 2 weeks from now [I wouldn’t even bother mention these on a resume. means zero.]</p>

Going to do wrestling the following year ← any chance of being the captain?
Drill Team Commander 2012-2013</p>
<p>^^ these. mean way less than being a captain of one or two varsity SPORTS. I am talking football, soccer, or any individual sport.</p>
<p>From my perspective, unless you get your file up to speed, you are too late to fight in this competition.</p>
<p>Don’t give up though. you can always reapply until the age of 23.</p>
<p>Well, I will be aiming for scores that high! What would be the scores needed to attend a civil prep school? Worst case scenario would be that I would attend NWP as a free agent in hopes of getting an appointment to USMA. </p>

<p>dychang, actually my SAI mentioned that WP admissions was asking for our previous Battalion Commander who applied in March. Needless to say, she want appointed but it certainty was a boost.</p>
<p>I don’t want to hurt your feelings, but SAT/ACT scores do have to go up and without a strong class rank and college entrance exam scores, you are out of luck.
this is how the real world works. without them, extracurricular activities go down to trashcan.</p>
<p>if this still does not go through your mind/brain, PM me.</p>
<p>when I was in your shoes, I was obsessed with little things like you, but in post-CBT counseling, i found out that it was SAT/ACT that counted about 60% of your candidate score. remember that I did say BC position “may count.” pay attention to detail in this long admission process.</p>
<p>the reason why I am saying this is that under the current budget cut, West Point has to make the quota of 4400 cadets. currently there are about 4500~4600 cadets, and the number has to go down. This will lead to a decrease in number of entering class. What does it indicate? Weaklinks who were able to get in won’t be able to under the current Army.
This isn’t post 9-11, everyone let’s go, army anymore.

<p>it’s probably good idea to start reading up on current issues in the army in case you are going to be asked during interviews.</p>
Ma school doesn’t rank so it don’t knw if it would go towards my favor or not…</p>
