Hi everyone,
I am a prospective applicant for the United States Air Force Academy Class of 2021. I was recently selected for the AFA's Summer Seminar Session A and thought I would post my resume/stats to see if anyone had an insight into things I should improve on or emphasize in my application later this summer.
An introduction to me: I am a legal resident of Austin, Texas Congressional District 25. I am a native speaker in Spanish and English (I am white though) and am almost fluent in Swahili.
Academic Achievements:
-Within top 10% of my class(3.79 GPA Unweighted) (Nearly all A's) (I go to one of the most rigorous private schools in the world that's why my GPA is lower but I am still ranked within top 10% of my class)
-National Honor Society member
-2020 SAT (670 Reading, 670 Math, 680 Writing) (I'll take this again even though it is a high score)

-710 out of 800 on SAT II Spanish Exam
-4 out of 5 on AP World History and Computer Science A Exams
-PSAT score qualifies me to be a National Merit Scholar in Texas

-One of the only students in my school’s history to have an A+ in IB math and IB Physics Higher Level
-STEM Student of the Year (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math)
-Mu Alpha Theta (Math Honors Society) member
Leadership Achievements:
-Class Vice-President (10th Grade)
-Model United Nations Committee Chair
-Editor of the Spanish Newspaper Club
-President of Kenyan Economic Readiness (Club designed to teach less fortunate Kenyans about the
economic system and how to attain low-interest micro-loans, something that is typically very hard to do in Kenya.)
-President & Co-Founder of Habitat for Humanity in Mexico
-Head Pianist and Conductor for my school’s premier Jazz Band (9th/10th grade)
