<p>Will he get in?</p>

<p>By this time of year, your potential roommate should have a really good idea of his academy chances.</p>

3

<p>1500/2400 SAT? I don’t understand did he score a 1500 cr/m or 1500 overall? If that’s overall than he has no chance.</p>

4

<p>Overall M+CR+W
And thanks</p>

<p>He has great leadership activities, but the 1500/2400 SAT may be hard to overcome. With that said, I’ve met graduates from the AF Academy who had ~1100/1600 SAT scores, so it’s not impossible. I’m assuming he is not a recruited athlete or minority?</p>

6

<p>Oh wait… He got a 1540 (500 m, 540 cr, 500 w)</p>

7

<p>Unless he’s a super recruitable athlete, he’ll be your roommate in the fall.</p>

<p>Yeah I don’t think he has any chance. West Point is actually really competitive.</p>

<p>I know WestPoint is extremely competitive, but I wasn’t sure if West Point would overlook academics because of their emphasis on leadership. I also am not only asking about WestPoint, but AF and Navy as well.</p>

<p>I still say you will know far ahead of when you need to make a deposit. I do not think that the SAT scores are a deal breaker. Here, the kids would not get the nomination if they were not considered admissible.</p>

<p>He could actually get in to one of the prep schools. The students selected for that work on the SAT while taking leadership classes for a year.</p>
