Hey everyone my name is Marshall and I'm a sophomore in high school looking to go to WP. So a little about myself:
Academics
3.57 GPA
Taking the most advanced courses in my high school (except for math)
Completed 3 honors courses, currently enrolled in 2 and an AP course
1680 on PSAT (CR-620, Math-510, WS-550)
26 on practice ACT
Student of the Month
Principals Honor Roll
Leadership/ Extra Circular-
JROTC Company Commander, Squad Leader, and Guide-on
Superior Cadet Award
Rookie of the Year Award
75ish hours of community services (10 or so were run by me through jrotc)
Participated in 10 Color Guards and 7 Drill Teams (personally led 1 Color guard and 3 Drill teams)
Member of Church Youth Group and Youth Band Member.
Athletics-
1 Year of Wrestling (going into Freestyle off season wrestling now)
1/2 Year of Weight training
Participation in multiple JROTC Inter battalion sports competitions
8:00 Mile Run
6 Pull ups
45 Pushups in a minute
59 sit ups in 2 minutes
I believe I'm lacking in academics and athletics at the moment. What should I put the most effort into improving? But also some more questions!
1. I've been reading about Congressional nominations, and I am wondering how competitive are they, is it difficult to get one, and how many prospective cadets member of congress and house can nominate to each academy.
2. I recently received a brochure from the USMA and theirs seems to be a large amount of uniforms, can somebody perhaps list them all, and maybe their prices to?
3. How competitive are admissions to the SLS?
4 What are the summer camps available and how many can a cadet attend of the summer?
I can't think of any more at the moment but I will have more that I know for sure! Thanks for your help!
