I'm a high school senior and will soon be getting my congressional nomination in order to be an official candidate for the United States Air Force Academy. Here is what I currently have working for me...
Eagle Scout
4.2 GPA (Cumulative)
4 years of Varsity Cross Country
2 years of Varsity Track
Great Physical condition
AP English Classes
4 years of Latin
Started my own business at 14 (If that even counts for anything)
Top 10% in class
Class Rank- 26 of 350
Junior Class President
National Honor Society
LOTS of community service
Here's what's NOT working for me...
ACT-24 (Math-22 English-23 Science-26) I am taking it again soon and hope to raise these
SAT Math-540 Critical Reading-490
Second semester I plan on taking Pre-Calc Honors but may be able to switch to Calc if necessary.
I am hoping that someone can tell me where I stand. Do I have a chance? Is there just no way because of my test scores? Im looking pretty good? Anything really. I would also like to know what i can do to improve my chances (besides raising test scores, I already know that). I would love to hear what anyone who has experience any of the service academies has to say. Thanks for the help.
