<p>with all due respect to USNA85, I do appreciate the above post from '69.</p>
<p>After a good nights sleep and reading through it again, I realize what it is I am taking exception to.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>That 1385 was presented as an overall SAT and not filtered out to “direct from HS” only. Thus, add in prep programs and the average falls closer to what is reported elsewhere </p></li>
<li><p>*the vast majority of candidates fall into one of two categories, high grades and low SATs or high SATs and low grades. *
While no doubt this is true, the “vast majority” does not mean “all.” And while I would agree one should not count on being an “exception” to the rule, exceptions do exist. </p></li>
<li><p>And last- I stand corrected. I will ammend to say that while some NAPs and founation candidates **MAY **be asked/required to retake SATs, some candidates WILL NOT. I will leave it to anyone needing more information to ask USNA69 for an explaination as to why that is. </p></li>
</ol>
<p>Will agree to move on.
Me thinks USNA85 is blowing the whistle that the ship has left port! </p>
<p>***Time and tide wait for no man- unless you have a tugboat and a very large purse! * **</p>
