<p>please do not bother profmom with the “if necessary” and congruence with “USNA requirements.” (and as an aside, I will assume the word you were looking for is synonymous)</p>
<p>MMI language nevertheless, not poor profmom’s! </p>
<p>Do us all a favor- call Captain Wallace yourself and get the word directly from the foundation itself and clarify it, once and for all, for everyone. </p>
<p>As far as the number crunching- **if ** i was just crunching the (assumed to be correct) 1205 mean for the foundation candidates **alone ** then your premise would be correct. You did not read my post correctly.</p>
<p>And please do explain how you manage to get a class SAT average of 1300 from a range of 1360 to 1375… unless you are adding in 60+ foundation students (sub 600 you claim) and over 200 Napsters (sub 600 again!)… which is incongruent with your claim of an inclusive class mean of 1360!! What kind of fuzzy math are you doing? </p>
<p>What I crunched was the mean ** of the reported precentiles ** of the admitting class of 2010… rechecked with the numbers of 2011. </p>
<p>Here’s the data- run them through yourself…and by all means get someone to help ** you ** lwith interpreting the output. </p>

<p>suggest you take your own advice and “stick those numbers in your SPP”…and do find help if you need it (I won’t tell!).</p>
<p>Loaded correctly, run correctly, and statistically no where near the 1360-1375mean that you are reporting. (no help required on this end, thankyou) </p>
<p>Which is ** exactly ** why I asked you, numerous posts ago, if the foundation and naps SAT scores were included in what was being reported! You stated to the affirmative- so the point stands.</p>
<p>following this to it’s logical conclusion (let me know if I lose you now…)
so are we to assume the foundation kids who are not required to retake SATs are not required because they have already exceed the minimum standard of 600? And if they exceed the minimum standard of 600, then why a foundaton or naps offer in the first place? and if 600 is the “minimum standard,” what accounts for the candidates that gain admission with sub-600scores???</p>
<p>(BTW- the numbers the USNA reports on US News and World Reports, the Princeton Review, and even the “Top 300 Colleges” does not support a mean SAT score of 1360-1375! Why,on earth, would the USNA admissions office post a mean SAT range below what you claim to be so??? ) </p>
<p>SPP loaded correctly. Put the percentiles in and run the numbers yourself. Nowhere near the 1375 you are claiming.
If you see USNA data that reports otherwise, please do share!</p>

<p>I would suggest the same of you!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>never agreed to anything of the sort!</p>
