This October, I came back from my anticipated campus tour and advising session at the United States Air Force Academy and everything from the breathtaking campus, discipline, and academics made me want to go to the Academy even more than I already did. Now on to the point.
I am a student at a community college so I would be a "transfer" applicant. I understand they do not accept any credits from an outside college and I am absolutely fine with that. From what I know, transfer and high school applicants are treated the same. I got my GED from South Korea but am planning to retake it because of a recommendation to from an Academy admissions counselor. I haven't taken my SAT or ACT yet but plan to get on that ASAP.
Here are my stats:
Spring 2011
English Composition 1 A
College Algebra A
Summer 2011
Public Speaking A
Fall 2011
Introduction to Business A
Principles of Macroeconomics A
Introduction to Literature A
Spring 2012
World History 1500-Present A
Honors English Composition 2 A
Honors College Trigonometry A
Fall 2012 (so far)
Calculus 1 A
General Chemistry 1 A
Humanities: Early Civilization A
Hatha Yoga A
Spring 2013 (registered)
Calculus 2
General Chemistry 2
US History 1945-Present
Tae Kwon Do
College GPA: 4.0
SAT/ACT: not yet
GED: not yet
1.President of STEM Discovery (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math club)
2.Member of Student Travel Committee
3.Member of Humanities Club
4.Engineer/Designer for Colorado Space Grant funded by NASA (will be published in school newspaper)
5.Volunteer Note-Taker for Humanities Course
6.Member of Phi Theta Kappa (national honors society for 2 year colleges)
I don't know if I omitted anything, but that seems about it. The main thing I am very worried about is that my college does not offer any sports programs and I know that it is vital to play a team sport of some kind. Even if I try to join a local sports team, I don't have, and can't afford, insurance. I don't know what else to write for now so I will post this and hope that something else comes to me later on! Any suggestions or tips? Thank you so much everybody!
P.S. My parents are separated and I live with my father. Because he has to work from 50 to 60 hours a week, I am expected to do all the housework (dishes, 3 meals, laundry, cleaning, etc.). Will that look good on my application, or do I even mention it at all? Thanks again!
