<p>Mr. Sinister, will you please quit moaning about the SAT/ACT criteria. it just the way it is, it is the United States Military’s perogative to set whatever guidelines that they feel nessicary in order to get the most qualified applicants to ensure that the future leaders of the armed services are the best! My son was kept out of USNA last year because of a 25 english score, he was permitted to apply though and was waitlisted but not offered an appointment. He was offered civil prep for USMA and jumped all over it. As you have been told countless times, you do not apply for civil prep, if the admissions commitee feels that you are a good candidate for it they will offer it to you or they may offer you NAPPS or MAPPS.</p>
