Also correction on my GPA. I emailed my guidance counselor about it and they said they put the wrong GPA up. I have a 3.78, so not exactly a 3.8

Thanks for all the advice everyone. There's more to my story; I left it in previous posts I've had. I've done varsity wrestling and football, I'm wrestling varsity this year. I was a Vice President in interalliance and organized several events through the year. I'm in NHS, the Ambassador...

Greetings all, I have an odd resume as of lately. Junior year I decided to do what I wished to do and built an airplane. It's a single place Star duster SA-100. It's not your typical 17 year old thing to do. I did it, it was solely me, and I have the builders pictures to prove it to the...

Thanks for the video!

Fencers, I understand. That's why I said I knew that mentality wasn't going to get me anywhere and I would start preparing. Also, where can I find information on such techniques? Thanks!

Thanks for the reply! For academics, I'm loaded. I take the most rigorous classes my school offers. I'm in all AP classes. Sophomore year, my math wasn't challenging enough. I decided to take an independent precalc class, and I taught myself a lot about precalc. I was supposed to skip...

Boozebin, I like that idea. Currently, I'm contacting and reaching out to several people. I'm in contact with the local VFW to find out what services they may need, what help they may need, and how I can make a difference for them. I'm trying to find leadership opportunities from them. I...

I understand. I'm on vacation and figured I'd type it up real quick and get back to spending time with my family. I didn't stop to think it would become confusing or hurt the thread in any way. Once again, I'm sorry.

When I posted chances, I was told that there are too many unknowns. How am I looking is totally different because it's asking for criticism rather than asking if I'm going to get into the academy. You can't tell me I'll get into the academy based on my resume if I ask chances, but you can give...

You're right stealth, I did. I saw the thread. He had some really good responses. I didn't want to hijack his thread with my own résumé. He was getting some of the types of criticism I was looking for when I was trying to find chances. There's a difference in the two and I was looking more...

Hello all, I've posted on here before asking about my chances of receiving an appointment to the Air Force Academy, but what I really wanted to know is this: how am I looking? I suppose the way it's worded changes the meaning quite a bit. Also, I'm an incoming junior. Just to clear that up...

The concussions aren't on my medical records, that I know of. I believe both cases were diagnosed as possible concussions, but unlikely. I took a week off from physical activity and resumed. No lasting effects. And no, I never remember missing school because of them except to go to the...

Could anyone tell me how to get this post deleted? I was wrong when I posted this.

@fencersmother I'm a rising junior, not senior.. I've been working on this since freshman year.. Look back at my profile. @Rocko You're correct on that. I never really thought about it that way. I suppose I viewed it as the Academy would figure it in as an individual sport. Thanks for the...

Hello all, I know some of you have read my previous posts about sports, and considering I'm doing individual sport(s) (wrestling and possibly track), I need to display some sort of teamwork/leadership. Here are my thoughts: I'm pretty good at programming and I enjoy it highly. Why not create...

Thanks all for all of the replies! I appreciate the input and this was a learning process. Freshman year I played football and was a varsity 145 for the wrestling team. I didn't do any sports sophomore year for the reasons I mentioned above. While it's a decision I regret and would go back...

@Christcorp I go to the boxing gym to box. They have several classes and I go in the afternoons often to box. In the mornings, however, I weightlift/bodybuild.

Hello all, I hope everyone is having a good day. I have a question that has been bothering me quite a bit lately. Currently, I'm an incoming junior. I didn't play any sports sophomore year because I wanted to focus on school and flying. I made a 3.8 GPA in all of the most advanced classes...
