I wish I could double like this thread. The "what are my chances" threads often just give me too much anxiety. DS is a candidate just like everyone else. His stats/ numbers are in the same ball park as everyone elses. He has the straight As, sports, leadership etc... Stats in my opinion are often not showing the whole picture. DS is at a huge 6A school with over 1,000 in graduating class. DS's 4.3 is ranked 113 but his SAT is over 1400. His school is very competitive and almost every sport will make it to regionals/state every year. There are very few multi-sport athletes and most do not make varsity teams until their junior and senior year. School has a varsity, and multiple JV teams. Some athletes are just on a designated practice squad and never see a game, wear the uniform all season long. Son was on a practice squad freshman year so he could put in the work and prove himself enough to make a team the following year. Son only has varsity letters from his senior year but he maxed out the pfa in almost every category. So if I posted his chance me thread on here I would be eaten alive for his class rank and lack of sports etc... I have faith that the academies will look beyond the statistics/ resumes. Sorry for the long post.
