<p>Wow… so many people like to argue on this site. In my opinion, at least a 500 in every section should be fine because everyone seems to be forgetting about NAPS. To the parents and candidates for the c/o 2012: if you or your child has a strong desire to attend USNA, they can find a way to get there. Not everything is perfect, meaning the child gets accepted and goes to USNA right away.</p>
<p>My math is the worst part of my app packet. I received a 520 in Math for the SAT, took the OCT SAT and did even worse. ACT is a 23 in Math. I am in college prep. precalc right now but I have a C/C+. All other aspects of my candidacy are very competitve. My struggle is to be scholastically qualified and I am worried only because of my math. If USNA tells me, “Sorry, your math is crap. We want to an extend you an offer to NAPS on NAVSTA Newport.” I will GLADLY SAY YES. Like I said, if you’re committed and you have done the best you can, you will find a way.</p>
