Hey, I'm a junior in high school and I was if anyone could give me some realistic insight as to how I stack up for West Point. I know I am a pretty average student but I am really passionate about going to West Point and I plan to make sure admissions knows that. I come from one of the highest ranked districts in PA so the education is excellent but the competition is fierce.
