<p>I think by posting she is presenting herself to be bothered</p>

<p>I was looking for antonymous. These darned spell checkers. Or is it these darned glasses?</p>

<p>Don’t need to. Every five years, BGOs get to spend a week at USNA, attending lectures by everyone associated with the admissions process. I have attended two of Captain Wallace’s fine presentations and still have copies of his power points covered with copious notes. </p>

<p>Again, from those BGO weeks at USNA. Dean Vetter always included these numbers in his very informative presentation. From my notes, one year the average for those appointees entering directly from high school was 1375 and another it was 1360. I was hoping that another BGO would step forward and validate this.</p>
<p>Can’t seem to find your statement where you were going to continue to fire missiles, no matter how errant, at me but here goes one last attempt at SATs. </p>
<p>Here is my original statement, boldface added:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You seem to have either misread my statement or are intentionally misinterpreting what I say in order to convolute the issue and to discredit me. Of course I don’t know which. No where ever on any thread have I ever stated or implied that the overall SATs for ALL appointees is anything higher than 1300.</p>
<p>Let’s assume a hypothetical college where 2/3 of the students come directly from high school and the other 1/3 come from some sort of prep program. US News & World Report lists the overall average SAT of ALL those entering the school as 1300. Let’s assume the 1/3 prepsters had an overall SAT average of 1200. Then, with a little simple math, we can determine that, in order to maintain the 1300 OVERALL average, those 2/3 directly out of high school would have to have reported a 1350 average. Were the 1/3 prepsters reporting 1190, the 2/3 directly out of high school would have to report a 1355. 1180>>>1360, 1170>>>1365, 1160>>1370, 1150>>1375, etc. In our particular case, we know that in various years the vast majority of these prepsters, the NAPS students, commence with SATs in the 1130 range. From the various profiles we see that they don’t always reach the 600/600 non waiverable status. I have never seen USNA’s post prep SAT averages published. Oh, If your blanket statement that they did not retake SATs were only true, these calculations would be so simple.</p>
