Is that nomination like the Presidential? They can have an unlimited amount of nominations, but only charged a specific number.
If so, you could be going against hundreds of candidates. The Presidential slate can run well over 400 nominations for 100 appointments. The question you should be asking and researching is how many nominations are offered this route?
Now for the OP, did you apply for your MOC and the VP nomination too?
Here are a couple of things to think about.
Every SA is considered an Ivy league education. The profs expect you to have that basic foundation to start with. Class profiles will show that the avg ACT is going to be @30. They are going to teach at that level. They are not going to slow down the class for you to catch up.
~ A reason why prep exists is to get these cadets up to the academic standards.
Personally I am not sure you are an ideal prepster.
The reason is we don't know where do you stand outside of academics? Leadership/ECs, ets? CFA? What is your school profile? 3.3. Impo is low, but maybe the school doesn't hand out A's like candy on Halloween. How many go Ivy? What was/is your class rank?
~ Some candidates are not great test takers and they get it, but their academic profile and rigor said look past this and give them prep.
~ Some have lower academics because they are athletes and not to divert this into a fight about athletes, they do spend many hours everyday playing sports and their grades can take a hit.
~ Some candidates candidates are diversity...again not trying to divert the thread.
Just saying, without knowing the other facts, I feel it is wrong to say anything positive or negative.
~ How many would you say Prepster if they said 3 pull ups and an 8 minute mile run with their CFA stats?
~ How many would say they were ideal prepster if their only EC is member of FBLA?
~ The ARmy allows HS students to enlist into the Reserves, would your reply change if you knew that they are in HS currently? Not saying they are or are not. Saying that the candidate that is 18, at a CC and in the Reserves might be seen differently than the candidate that is in HS? Would your opinion change regarding chances if my previous questions were answered?
I wish you the very best, but as we all say here, have plan B in place. Get some college credits under your belt. Shore up any weaknesses. Talk to your FFR and ask them to be honest with you. They exist and are an asset They have experience and know how you are racking and stacking against their other candidates.
If you don't want to discuss it with them, than PM posters here like Member and Scout.
