Hello,
I just finished my freshman year and am interested in USMA and USNA. Can anyone comment on ways to improve my chances at getting in?
Academics:
3.9-4.0 GPA unweighted (Depends on results of Final Exams, also school doesn't rank but will be in top 10%, rumor is that my grade has the lowest average GPA in school history)
Deans List/Recognition Award
Honors Geometry and Alg II completed, doing Honors Pre-Calc over summer and maybe next year depending on how comfortable I am with the materiel
Honors Chemistry Next Year
PSAT Unnofficial (Had to take for Prep Service that I am doing over the Summer, but the scores are not official): 188
Sports:
Varsity Letter: Ice hockey
Captain U15 Yeti Travel Lacrosse Team (Did not play this spring, chose to play golf)
JV Golf
Extracurriculars/Leadership Positions
Model United Nations Delegate, one of only four freshman selected
Newspaper Busniness Manager, 2nd and 3rd quarter, raised over $200 in subscriptions
Newspaper Staff Writer, 4 consecutive articles published
Future Business Leaders of America: President, CEO, (Founder, should I include?), spearheaded first profitable sale with profit margin of 200%, obtained contract with Theater Department to obtain advertisements, taking around 10% of all money taken in.
Joining Navy Sea Cadets, 4/15 way through required reading on the Navy.
Things that might happen over summer:
Hopefully accepted to Standford Humanities and Education Leadership Program
Struggling with Community Service: Not sure how I am going to volunteer, but I want it to be military-oriented (Grandfather, Mothers Cousin, Uncle all prior-service). Any tips on ways to get involved?
Sincerely, and thank you for your time;
Bear
