I thought you graduated college. Why would anybody care what your SAT was? That would be like if I applied for a job and they asked to see the Great Gatsby book report that I wrote in ninth grade.

The Marine Corps doesn't have an officer aptitude test like the Navy and Air Force do. They use SAT scores as a proxy.

But yes, my SAT scores are a decade old now. Most people who sign up to be an officer are still in college, though (doing PLC over two summers while in college). It makes a lot of sense for them.

Judging by the other applicants, another knock on me is I didn't go to grad school. A lot of applicants have MBA's, MSc's, and JD's, I'm noticing (even Ground with JD's).
