Question

What is wrong with this code and how can it be fixed?

import java.util.Scanner;

public class admissionRequirement {

public static void main(String[] args) {

// TODO Auto-generated method stub

Scanner myObj = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println("What is your name?");

String name = myObj.nextLine();

System.out.println("What is your Reading Score?");

int reading = myObj.nextInt();

System.out.println("What is your Math Score?");

int math = myObj.nextInt();

System.out.println("What is your Writing Score?");

int writing = myObj.nextInt();

System.out.println("What is your Class Standing?");

int standing = myObj.nextInt();

System.out.println("What is your Class Size?");

int size = myObj.nextInt();

double average = ((reading + math + writing) / 3);

double quarter = (standing/size);

int percentage = (25 /100) * 100;

if (math >= 200 && math <= 800 && reading >= 200 && reading <= 800 && writing >= 200 && writing <= 800)

{

if (math >=800 || reading >=800 || writing >= 800)

{

System.out.print("You are accepted!");

}

else

{

if (math < 300 || reading < 300 || writing < 300);

{

System.out.print("You are rejected because your text scores are below 300.");

}

else

{

if(average > 650 && quarter > percentage)

{

System.out.print("You are accepted!");

}

else

{

if((math < 400 && reading < 400) || (math < 400 && writing < 400) || (reading < 400 && writing < 400) || (quarter < percentage))

{

System.out.print("You are rejected because you have two test scores below 400 or you are in the bottom quarter of your class.");

}

else

{

if ((math > 400 && reading > 400) || (math > 400 && writing > 400) || (reading > 400 && writing > 400) || (quarter < percentage))

{

System.out.print("You are on the waitlist");

}

else

{

System.out.print("You are rejected");

}

}
