That is correct. The minimum of 50 is for IET soldiers. All other Army personnel (active and reserve) who are non-IET soldiers must attain the minimum Army standard of at least 60 points per event.

I would give them all the scores you have, I'm pretty sure the admissions office looks at test scores in the way that they make you look best and that your higher SAT writing would help offset the lower PSAT score. May be wrong, but just my$.02

I talked with my admissions rep at West Point, and last year they withdrew 2 offers of admission to people who had had LOA's.

I may be on the leadership committee this year, but I will definitely be on it next year for Track. Track practices every day of the week, and Leo Club has a full meeting each week along with an officer's meeting which is much shorter. I feel that I would have to reason with my coach to allow me to miss practice...

I was just about to give up on an LOA as well, but thankfully got one in the middle of November (Happy birthday to me!). I was cleared by DODMERB in July and I'm taking my CFA tomorrow morning. The only thing I have to wait on is my nomination. The interviews and applications are done, but I have to wait until the middle of January to hear from the offices
