<p>MS,</p>
<p>First, I understand your frustration, however, I would like to ask what u r doing to overcome this obstacle?<br>
Second, I believe the school of thought “not a good test taker” will not assist anyone in the future. The SA’s are known to be boilmakers. What if you did get a waiver for the SAT score, how will u perform against the others in math classes, when they scored higher than u. REMEMBER ACAD HAS ACAD BOARDS. The SAT is national, in other words, this is an objective test, not subjective. I would understand the fight for the written, but 2+2=4 and that is what the test is doing.
Third, if I am right u r overseas, thus, you should have a pres. nom. I believe u brought this subj. up already. Each academy takes 100 pres. U maybe qual. for a nom, but it will not help u due to candidate quals. 2nd. u spoke of MOC’s not caring about u (out of sight out of mind), This is not true, 1 friend was overseas and received noms for USNA and USAFA, currently at USNA.<br>
Next, many waivers that are given to lower scored SAT’s were given waivers due to sports…i.e. varsity football players who won state champs and were recruited…is this fair I don’t know, however, that is the system.
Finally, u should ask yourself am I currently acting like an officer? Will u always be antagonistic against the sytem when it does not agree with you? If u answer yes, you will hate the military. From experience, this is an example of how life will be…put your hand on your shoulder as the other person u are fighting against will too…flip your hand over who ever has the higher rank WINS!!! Get to know this statement RHIP (rank has its priviledges).
Also, I do agree with another post that said the acads are very aware of this site. If u think they can’t figure out who u r wrong. Look at all of your posts, they are not positive, yet you state you are in the active process of seeking an appointment from overseas. Your area directors can quickly figure out who has a math SAT of 560, afterall, how many overseas students do you think have that exact score?
I really wish u the best, but you need to get on board and overcome the problem or stop blaming the system.</p>
