US Air Force Academy - SAT scores?

Hi everyone, I'm considering a military career so I'm keen on the US Air Force Academy. Any insights on the SAT scores they require?

The standard benchmarks for SAT scores at the U.S. Air Force Academy tend to be relatively high given the competitive nature of military academy admissions. For the most recent class, the average SAT score was around 1320, with a middle 50% range of roughly 1200-1400. However, it is crucial to bear in mind that these numbers shouldn't be viewed as strict thresholds or cut-offs.

Your application will be assessed holistically, considering factors beyond your SAT scores. This includes your academic performance (GPA, class ranking), letters of recommendation, extracurricular involvement, especially leadership roles, Tier 1 or Tier 2 extracurriculars would likely be viewed favorably, and physical aptitude. Another key part of applying to any service academy, including the U.S. Air Force Academy, is obtaining a nomination, usually from a U.S. Senator or Representative from your home state.

Remember, applying Earlier will potentially boost your chances, by showing commitment and keenness towards the academy. Given the focus on leadership and physical aptitude, your application will indeed benefit from any consistent showing of determination, resilience and a spirit of servitude in these areas. Good luck on your journey towards a military career!
