<p>When USMA calculates your Whole Person Candidate Score used to rank candidates, my understanding is that extra points are given if you have earned the eagle rank and/or held leadership positions within your troop. </p>
<p>As Momoftwins points out, scouts alone won’t get you into USMA, but every point counts when your in a competitive ranking situation.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
