hello,
I have a quick question - in the eyes of USAFA, how would I be looking academics wise? The reason I am asking is because I had horrible grades in freshman year, but I had a massive upward trend. An example is being that I had a 71 in geometry and 82 in chemistry in freshman year, and now, during junior year, I have 100 in precalculus (perfect score) + letter of rec and 95 in physics + letter of rec, and 96 in forensic science, and 100 in electronics Stem class. ALL of my classes are honors classes (2 aps - us history and world history) and I go to a specialized high school in NYC. After making up what i missed in geometry, my SAT is 700 reading and 740 math (took another SAT and the math was so easy that i think i will get a higher score this time)... was I able to compensate for the earlier lack? This entire year I have had straight A’s. My unweighted GPA is a 3.61 (as of 5th semester, will go up with 6th semester grades coming out) and my weighted is 3.81.
Also, i wanted to know - does USAFA take ino account SAT or gpa more?
