<p>I would like to know if I still have a chance to be a part of Long Gray Line.</p>
<p>I just got my third SAT score and the scores are:</p>
<p>Math: 750
CR: 500
W: 540 (9 on Essay)</p>
<p>With all my hard work over the summer, I was able to get 500 on CR, finally…</p>
<p>Do you think I have a chance to be accepted with the score of 1250??</p>
<p>I am an awesome EC, CFA score, and recommendations; also attended SLS.</p>
<p>I am getting 4-year ROTC scholarship for backup plan, and currently waiting for the nomination interview with Congressman.</p>
<p>If I rate my level of interest between 1 through 10, it would be a million.
The reason that I am saying is I feel that to become a strong military officer, West Point is the place to go. Also I’ve been dreaming attending military academy for my whole life. Since I was adopted, I lost my privilege to attend korea military academy. So, I would think that U.S. Military Academy will assist me to become an officer and achieve my dream.
I also like to serve in active duty for my entire life unlike other people who only serve mandatory service years and go to private businesses.
I personally don’t think that going out of military is not what West Point and country want.</p>
<p>I personally think that you have a very good chance. Your math score is strong. If you are a strong as you think you are in the rest I think your chances are above average.</p>
<p>When were you adopted? If English is your second language, definitely mention it in your application so that you can explain the low SAT score; I’m sure they’ll work with you.</p>

How should I approach my admissions officer to let him know that English is my second language?
It is very awkward to say through a phone that “English is my second language.”
How can I build a conversation and let him know as I talk to admissions officer?</p>
<p>You can send an e-mail via your candidate site to request the contact info for your MALO. Did you mention this in any of your application materials? If not, you can even add that to your e-mail. Also, the college counseling dept at your high school may know your MALO and be able to help you get in touch.</p>
<p>I have a question.
I have an information of MALO. However, he told me that he will contact me if the time, when I need him, comes. So far, no news from MALO.</p>
<p>I have mentioned that I was born in S. Korean and adopted in 2003. Should this cover the whole issue?</p>
<p>dychang: if you have not had success with your MALO (some have a lot more time on their hands than others), contact your admissions Regional Commander directly. What region are you in? You can PM me if you like .</p>
<p>I was adopted in 2003 from S. Korea.
I did explain in application that I was born in S.Korea and adopted in the year of 2003.</p>
<p>Thank you for your support!</p>
<p>Oh! by the way, I am 19 now. (Oct. 22, 1988)</p>

<p>I live in S. Korea. People here are very well known to have some of the strongest math abilities known in the world. I believe they were ranked No. 1 worldwide. Good luck! Your score is very good by the way. 1250 is the score people usually average around to when they get admitted.</p>
<p>“1250 is the score people usually average around to when they get admitted”
True, but misleading in this case. A 500 SAT score is likely at the academic risk level. I agree with JustAMomof Dychang should contact admissions, explain his background and motivation, and let them know that he would consider the prep school if offered.</p>
<p>Ann, great idea! USMAPS is the place for candidates who have the potential to be successful at West Point but are deficient in either math or language arts. It could be a great way for a candidate to develop both military skills and proficiency in the deficient subject.</p>
