Hi guys, I'm currently a freshman in high school, and I've been looking at the possibility of attending an SA for awhile, but particularly USNA. I know this pretty repetitive, as there's a lot of threads with a similar topic, but after being unable to get in touch with a BGO (emailed him a few times, and even worked with an admissions rep at USNA), or an ALO. I understand that these people have very busy lives, especially right now with the current admissions situation. That's why I've thrown together a brief list of my current academics, athletics, ECAs, and outside of school activities.
Other than that, the plan for the rest of the years is to see how much I can balance my plate with athletics, academics, ECA's, and more SAT studying. If I can receive the AOPA scholarship, or I can save up enough money, I do plan on getting my PPL during my Junior year.
So my questions are, what are the areas that need improvement? What else should I be looking out for/doing that would increase my "chances"? Thanks!
- Weighted GPA /Class rank(only one my counselor has given me): 4.72, 20/512
- All classes are honors/advanced, with the exception of an unweighted elective, and the AP Human Geo course
- Athletics: Football, basketball, and track
- ECA's: Debate, student council, and theatre (specifically lighting).
- Won two awards at a regionals and area competition for lighting
- Advanced to regionals in debate
- Haven't been too active in student council due to time reasons, but plan to be more active.
- Outside of school: Board member for a charity, and just received my full lifeguard certification, so I plan to do that along with football summer workouts over the summer.
