Hey all,
I am 14 years old and I have made the decision to apply for USAFA when I am 17. I am looking for advice on what to do now to strengthen my application. I am a freshman in a STEM high school, I take 10th-grade math, pre-ap biology, CE (Concurrent Enrollment at a college) English, Creative writing, gym, weight training, and Spanish 2. I have a 4.14 GPA (straight A's). I am in civil air patrol and Boy scouts. I have held 3 leadership position in BSA, and color guard twice in CAP. I am planning to graduate as a stem scholar, which requires harder classes, a 3.5 GPA, and 100 hours of volunteer service. I am wondering what classes should I take because next semester I will most likely be taking robotics and intro to programming. Are these the classes the Academy wants? Is there anything else I can do to help my chances of making it in the Academy(considering I live in Colorado, where I think the competition is much higher) ? Finally, do you guys have any suggestions on how to get better at push ups, pull ups, or any of the other CFA items? Thank you for reading this long paragraph!
