Hi, I'm currently a candidate for the USNA Class of 2021 and if someone wouldn't mind I would like to see if I have a chance of getting an appointment with my current stats. I welcome your opinion.
MCJROTC-Platoon commander and a member for three years, competed in competitions in the past three years where we placed first. Member of color guard and honor guard.
Sports- Not in any but I am a 1st degree black belt in Taekwondo and competed in UCF Iron Knights as a team leader (5.6 mile course with about 15 obstacles with a four man team and a 24-lb pack). Also competed in physical competitions for MCJROTC and have won first place multiple times.
Vice President of Spanish National Honor Society- We volunteer at a local retirement home with the Spanish speaking elderly.
Volunteered at my local hospital throughout my junior year, I also volunteer in Spanish and Math.
Currently in IB with a 3.79 Unweighted and a 4.33 Weighted GPA, have taken four AP classes as well.
1210 SAT but I retook my SAT yet and I expect my scores to improve, what SAT score range would be considered "good?"
For my CFA I did a 52 foot basketball throw (I didn't practice), 70 Push-ups, 95 sit-ups, 12 pull-ups, and a 7:05 mile run.
I am a Florida resident and I have a JROTC nomination and I am waiting for a response from my local representative and Senator Rubio. I only need to complete my medical exam and my application is complete.
 
What district in FL? I'm district 9! Sounds like you might go to Cypress Creek lol
 
At this point there is not much you can do about your stats. All you can do now is finish up the rest of your app and wait. That's not to say that you can't improve for next year in case you are denied though.

In my opinion, your resume looks great. The biggest weakness I see are your test scores and if you've already signed up for the Dec test, then you could knock it out if the park and actually improve your app that way.

I'd also recommend that instead of asking the people on this forum for advice, many of whom don't actually work in admissions, either compare yourself to those that have been accepted in past years or continue to strive to be the best you can be and hope you're offered something.

I personally recommend the second option.
 
There is no way anyone here can tell you whether you have a shot. The reason is two-fold. First, there are many elements of your package that we can't see and even you can't see -- most notably your teacher recs and your BGO rec. Second, we don't know whom you're competing against. You can be terrific but there can be a lot of folks better than you. Or not.

Finally, there are so many really, really talented candidates. USNA, just like other super-competitive schools, can't accept them all. Sometimes, you've done everything you could possibly do . . . be the strongest candidate you personally can be . . . and it still may not be enough. Or it may be more than enough.

Best of luck to you!
