Hello! I am a junior, female 16, from San Diego, CA. I am applying to usna 2023 and I want to get some feedback on where I need to improve my application
My academics are lower than I hoped for
UW: 3.76
W: 4.12
Estimating top 10-15% of my class of ~500
When I graduate I will have taken 7-8 AP classes and Calc 3
ACT: 32
I have only taken the ACT once so should I take it again to get a better score? Also, will a higher score make up for my low GPA?
School Athletics:
Varsity Athletic Award-3 years 2015, 2016, 2017 Girls Tennis
Hopefully 2018 Tennis Captain
Varsity Athletic Award-3 years 2016, 2017, 2018 Springboard Diving
2018&2019 Springboard Diving Team Captain
Out of School Athletics:
Competitive gymnast- 10 years
Out of School Club Memberships:

Leadership: Vice President of Administration, Vice President of Program, Treasurer, Crew Guide.
Leadership training: Intro to Leadership Skills for Crews, Goal Setting & Time Management, Project Management Training and Mentor Training. Instructor for Intro to Leadership Skills for Crews. CPR Trained.
Certified Instructor for High Ropes Climbing Course

Working on the gold medal for the Congressional Award
In School Club Memberships:
National Honor Society

Teen Korps Club
Vice President of Student Ambassadors Club
Volunteer Work: 388 hours
CFA scores:
I have not taken a complete test (I will when I attend NASS session 3 this summer)
So far I can...
Max pushups
Max sit-ups
Max pull-ups
Mile: ~7:30
B-ball throw: ~55ft
Shuttle run: not sure
I am mainly worried about my GPA dragging me down. I know I can’t change it much. What can I do to make up for it?
Thank you
