<p>It appears your son’s credentials are strong with the exception of his Math SAT. </p>
<p>Given the importance of improving his SAT score, has his time allocation reflected this importance? Does he put as much time into preping for the SAT as he does practicing for football? While playing football may be more fun/rewarding for him (and you), another varsity letter in football won’t make up for the Math SAT shortfall.</p>
<p>The thought of practicing an hour or more a day, every day, for the Math SAT may sound extreme. But not if you believe it could make the difference between getting an acceptance to USMA. If his football schedule doesn’t afford him the time to put into SAT prep, then, as hard as it would be, maybe football needs to be sacrificed. </p>
<p>Part of it comes down to how serious he is about going to West Point.</p>
