I assume you people are more experienced than me at knowing who qualifies for a service academy and who doesn't, so I'm hoping you can at least give me an idea. I just finished my application to the United States Air Force Academy and since I won't hear back for months I'd like to get an idea.
So for starters, academically my grades are good, A/B average, taking AP physics and honors classes all throughout high school along with APUSH and AP Gov. 3.7 GPA, 34 ACT, 2000 SAT, blah blah blah. So that's all good and well.
Extracurricular-wise, I play baseball, hockey, show choir and many other choir related things, and participate and organize charity outings and things at school. So that's not bad.
However my biggest question is about the CFA. First time I took it was awful, 72' BB throw, 8 pull ups, 37 push ups, 65 sit ups, 8.9 shuttle run and an 8:15 mile because of cramps. However, I received a letter asking me to retake the CFA, which I did today and got a 90' BB throw, 10 pull ups, 55 push ups, 82 sit ups, 8.9 shuttle run (again, ugh), and a 7:05 mile. It was an improvement but would that be enough to pass?
I've already received my congressional nomination from Tom Emmer and conducted my ALO interview so everything is done, now just a waiting game.
Any idea as far as odds? Honestly anything would help lol
