I hope some of the vets on the forum could give me some pointers and areas to improve on or wether or not they think I am competitive for a sophomore
 
Oh I forgot to mention that I already have a job at a major chain of hardware stores in the northeast
 
You're going from taking no AP classes to 4? Be careful, that'll be an abrupt change.

Practice for the ACT and SAT and strive to do well. Don't forget leadership.

And welcome!
 
In my school you can't take ap until 11th grade and your right I might be stretching myself to thin with 4 APs

Melizank is correct. Transitioning from 0 to 4 AP Classes is abrupt, especially if you'll be taking classes such as AP Calculus, AP Biology, AP Chemistry, or AP Physics at the same time. You should definitively look into CAP or JROTC if these programs are available to you.

Welcome to forums!
 
I appreciate it and I am planning on joining a CAP unit in the next town over
 
One question can I join jrotc if it's not at my school. I can't tell if it's a class or a club

JROTC is class. I cannot answer if you could join other school's JROTC, you should ask your current school administration if you could.
 
AP class selection

You said you plan to take 4 AP classes but none of them are math or science related. At USNA, 65% of the majors must be either a math or science major. Be sure you take advanced math and science classes and do well in them.
 
Thanks I'll try. I'm not in the highest math class but my math PSAT was surprisingly high for me
