Hello community,
What does USMA prep school look for when picking applicants? I understand that they pick competitive cadets who they want but to boost their academics a bit more.
Currently, I am a junior with 4 Varsity letters, elected as captain of the school's swim team and the track team, made District qualifications for swimming, 1870 SAT score, 3.17 GPA, took honors and currently taking 2 AP classes, associated with Athletes for Kids program, 150+ hours of community service doing UGM and Habitat for Humanity, studied abroad in Australia, took high leadership positions in the unit's JROTC program, speak fluent korean and am studying Japanese at school. As you can tell, my GPA is significantly lower than their average acceptance GPA standard. Would my situation make me a highly competitive candidate for Prep school?
Thanks!
Dave
