<p>Ectriso your SAT scores are competive to get a candidate number. What I am not sure about is that it will be enough in your district to garner a nomination and the ability to compete for an appointment. I am telling you that you will never know unless you apply and give it your all. I just don’t want you to not have a plan B all lined up that gives you a great option should the Naval Academy not select you. To get merit aid from the better schools you going to need an higher SAT score. The higher your SATs the better chance for other scholarships. I have seen to many young people put all their effort in getting a SA appointment or ROTC scholarship and not think about the other options. I seen to many of them get burned. </p>
