O.K., I know everyone probably gets tired of reading these, but I'm going to do it anyway and I appreciate any input. I will list all of my credentials.
Academics: Number 4 in class of about 150. (Classes that are important) Senior Schedule: Spanish 3 Pre-AP, Calculus AP/IB, Student Council (VP), English 4 AP, Concurrent Government and Economics, Soccer. All four years of High School I took Pre-AP or AP Math classes, all but one year of English, all highest level possible of History/Social Studies classes, four years of Varsity Soccer, 3 years of science, all but Physics my junior year were Pre-AP. I have been a member of NHS for two years. My GPA is a 4.0 (around 101.5 weighted).
Athletics: Varsity Soccer: 4 years, captain for 2 All-District Honorable Mention. Varsity Football: 2 years (Sophomore and Junior) All-District 2nd team Kicker.
ACT taken twice, composite on both 28. (This is probably my area of most concern) 1st Test: English-30, Math-28, Reading-25 frown, Science-28. 2nd Test (I read about the academy taking best of any of your scores from separate test, so I went in and focused on the reading to make up for it): English-28, Math-27, Reading-28, Science-28. I don't know if this is really how they look at it but my best would be English-30, Math-28, Reading-28, and Science-28.
Community Service: I have done many hours, including hours for National Honor Society, but also outside of it. Probably at least 30-40 hrs. per year for Junior and Senior years, before that maybe 15-25 per year.
CFA: (These may not be totally accurate, but if I am off it is not by much at all) BB Throw: 67', Shuttle Run: 9.2 and 9.1, Pull-ups: 9 (for sure), Sit-ups: 70 (for sure), Push-ups: 65-67, Mile Run: 6:49 (for sure)
Nomination from Mac Thornberry, 13th District of Texas (I heard my area is under-represented, but I'm not really sure how much influence it has on the final decision, if any.)
Currently need a waiver for wasp allergy.
If anyone can tell me what they think, (I'm not asking if I am going to get in because I know no one can tell me that) I would appreciate it. I just want to know the opinions of how strong a candidate I am. I have recently become somewhat discouraged reading other people scores for CFA's and ACT/SAT. I just don't know how much I would stand out. Any input is greatly appreciated.
