No one can give you chances. You have some strong elements and others that could be improved. Take SAT. Re-take ACT with an eye toward getting the math score up. Have you actually taken the CFA? Or are those where you are in practice? Either way, if you are male, try to get closer to maxing out.

Those are my actual scores. I'm kinda a big dude so those scores were already pretty good for me. Which elements are strong vs. those that could be improved?

Push-ups and sit-ups would be the easiest to work toward max, i would think.

OP, if I read correctly, it sounds like you are a senior with your application in and a congressional nom in hand. You are close to midpoint of your senior year. At this point, there really isn't much you can do to improve your stats to increase your chances. FWIW your stats seem reasonably competitive to me, but as you probably know from reading other posts, no one here can accurately tell you your chances. It's super competitive and there are so many factors involved. Finish any remaining open items on your application and wait.

My advice is keep your grades up for the rest of the year, run regularly and try to improve your overall physical fitness to prepare for a potential Plebe summer, stay out of trouble and have a little (smart) senior year fun. Even if you don't get in, all of this will serve you well in whatever you decide to do. Oh, and work on backup plans if you haven't already.

Good luck

Many thanks, and yes sir you did read correctly. I appreciate the advice very much.

If I'm not mistaken, the Naval Academy looks at Math and English for the ACT, not Math and Reading...or at least they did two years ago. It might have changed.

You are correct. I mean to put English as my Reading and English scores are the same.
