Hi everyone,
I'm currently a Junior and already opened my application and I will submit my nominations as soon as my 6th semester grades are released. But I had a question that's been really bugging me for the past few months.
In my sophomore year, I received a F in AP Calculus BC. I took a lot of hard courses and thought I'd be able to handle all of them, but I guess I was wrong.
This year I learned my lesson and I got a B in first and second semester in AP Statistics.
In my senior year, next year, I am planning on taking Calculus again and motivated more than ever to get an A in that class. I will be previewing and studying over summer.
In addition, I am taking a Physics Honors course at my local community college during summer.
A few snippets of my extracurricular activities:
- Attending Boys State
- Hold officer positions for 2 clubs
- ~100 volunteer hours (6 hours getting added each week)
- Varsity Cross Country and Track and Field
- 2 Varsity Letters
- Qualified and competed at a national Cross Country race
- 9 years of Kendo, currently 1 Dan. Placed 4th at a national kendo competition
- 27 on ACT. 32 on Math and 27 on writing
- Sidenote: my school does not rank.
So my question: Will the F that I received in my sophomore year automatically take me out of the league? Do I have a chance to get into West Point?
Thank you for reading all this and answering!
