*I know that you cannot tell me whether I can get in or not unless I apply. What I would like if you guys could give me tips to increase my chances or key things that really makes a candidate stands out. For example: "you should consider taking this class, or you should be more significantly involved with your community" And if you can please rate my profile from 1 being not good enough to get in to 10 Very Competitive Candidate

Your file looks pretty well off to me. Numerically, I would rate it: lim x->1 (|x-1|/(x-1)). As you can tell I don't like 1-10 scales . Two things are going to make or break you: your standardized testing and the competitiveness of your congressional district.

I want to add though, take some AP sciences. If you don't like science then it's going to be a tough four years at the academy.

Side note: how do you already know you're going to Girls' State? I didn't know about my selection for Boys' State until second semester junior year...

Give yourself a diagnostic CFA. Kudos for being a swimmer! I was also a swimmer but had a hard time with the run.

Other than that, just keep breathing and stay motivated

Score at least 700 on each subject on the SAT or 31 on the ACT. Better yet, get perfect.

Prepare for the CFA now. Even though you are a girl, you can still do pull-ups. It is by far better to get 1 pull-up vs doing the arm hang. I met a girl that did as many pull-ups as I did at NASS (12 pull-ups).

I was so excited that I got 3 at nass. then I look to my left and this girl (Mid) is at nearly 18....sigh...

Always work on the physical aspect. Sometimes as girls it's harder to prove ourselves in certain areas (like pushups/pullups) I try not to rack and stack my application profile after what my ALO told me:
" make them give you MORE points. there shouldnt be anything on your application that makes them take points away from you. Don't stop pushing,even when you're perfect...so that when the time comes all admissions can do is give you all the points you need to get in"

I agree about the AP sciences. Does your school offer AP Chemistry or AP Physics?

I, too, am puzzled about Girls' State. In my state, you are selected for GS in the spring of your junior year and attend that summer.

Are you interested in serving as an officer in the United States Army?
