What can I improve on my application in order to have a chance of getting into USNA?
I'm going into my junior year in high school.
Here is my academic info up until now and going into next year:
GPA: 3.61 (I plan to bring this up to a 3.75 by the end of junior year)
*My GPA listed above is an Unweighted GPA. My weighted GPA is 4.21.
*Note: My School Does not rank
SAT: 650 writing, 750 math, 700 verbal (2100 total- I took this with little preparation during my
sophomore year)
SAT Subject Tests: Biology-730
All Honors Classes (will be taking 3 AP's next year)
Will Most likely be accepted into the National Honor Society
Accepted into the Math Honor Society
Here is my Athletic information:
Junior Varsity Cross Country and Track
(will most likely make varsity in both sports in Junior Year)
Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do
(I have won two first place trophies in '08 and 2nd and third place in '07 at the same event)
I also swim on my own as if I was training for the swim team. However, I am not actually on the team
Extra-Curriculars:
Swimming Instructor/Lifeguard for YWCA Aquatics
Life Scout (working on Eagle)
Staff Member of the National Youth Leadership Training Course
Future Problem Solvers Club
Red Cross Club
Senior Patrol Leader of my Boy Scout Troop
What do you guys think? What can I improve?
And above all, what should I do come the time for nominations in order to increase my chances?
Thanks
