Hey all...
I sadly did not attend this year's SLE, but I'm a 2023 hopeful from MT.
I had a question about CFA events. My upper body strength has always been lacking. My CFA is pretty good, except for my pull ups. The most I've ever done is 8, but I normally test either 5 or 6. I've looked through other threads and implemented other tips I've read over the past few months, with great outcome (I could only do 1 at the beginning of July). However, I was wondering if anyone had any last minute tips. I'm almost completely done with my application, and I'd like to submit it as soon as I can. I have an interview with a senator's nomination committee at the beginning of November, but I'm seeking nomination through parental service connection. Also, I don't have athletics... I kind of screwed myself over in that regard, I know. Let me know what you guys think... here are my stats:
GPA: 4.33 weighted/3.96 unweighted
Superscores: 1510SAT/34ACT
Boys State, National Honor Society, JROTC, We the People
CFA:
1 mile: 5:18
Sit-ups: 89
Push-ups: 64
Shuttle: 8.1
Pull ups: 5/6
Ball throw: Generally between 66-68
So, with no athletics and yikes-worthy pull-ups, as well as limited extracurriculars, what's my competition looking like? I'd also love some tips on how to improve my pull-ups as quickly as possible. Also, feel free to ask any questions. Any and all tips are appreciated.
