Hi everyone! I am currently a senior in high school and I am going through the USNA application process. I have some information about myself first:
I transfered schools in the middle of my sophomore year of high school. Prior to this I had received my varsity letter in Cross Country and our team was able to get to state sectionals and we ran in the Manhattan invitational. I finished my sophomore year and during my Junior year chose not to continue Cross Country because I became focused on volunteering at my local hospital. I was able to garner more than 120 hours of service and I plan on re-volunteering this year. This year, I have also joined key club, the school paper, and am the current vice president of the creative writing club. Apart from these activities, during the end of my junior year I worked at a restaurant for more than 12 hours weekly during the school year. I had to resign from work to help out with my family as I am the oldest of five children and I need to take care of kids ranging from 3 to 12 years old.
I was able to offer assistance to a family friend who has an infant diagnosed with a terminal condition. I worked with her to sell fundraisers and advocate awareness for their cause. I have also taken care of her sick daughter and I continually offer my assistance.
On an academic level, I have a 4.236 gpa. I have been in honors classes since freshman year, and currently I am taking:
AP literature
AP Spanish
AP Government and Politics
Calculus
Organic and Biochemistry Honors
I have not taken my cfa yet, however that is scheduled for this upcoming Wednesday. I am in fairly good shape and it should not be too difficult. I have worked on my own to prepare for it. Under timed conditions I got:
A 5:22 Mile
60-65 Pushups
12 Pullups
65-70 Situps
My SAT scores improved from 1750 to 2020 with a verbal score of 710 and a math score of 610.
Now that I have established myself, I have some brief questions. Is there any methods I can do to prepare for my three congressional interviews? How can I further maximize my application so late in the year? Is there any topics I should learn about before the interviews? How do my chances stand as a candidate? Are there any hearing requirements for the DODmerb? Is it a problem that I havent been contacted for my DODmerb exam yet?
Thanks
