Hey all,
I haven't posted in a long time, but I've been very busy. I overloaded my course load and I want your opinions on my current standings with USAFA. Is acceptance everything academics?
My schedule as a sophomore:
U.S. History - A+
H Math II (Trig, Alg II, Geom) - B-
Religion II - A+
Programming I (CSS, HTML, ASP, Javascript) - A+
French II - A+
H Chemistry I - B
H English II - A+
Introduction to Engineering - A+
The reason for the B- in math is that when we switched to geometry, I learned I was better at alg II, trig, and precalc and not so much geometry without having to study.
Next year, my schedule is as follows:
AP U.S. History
Honors Precalc (I took an independent study this year, but decided not to skip to calc)
Honors Physics
AP English III
Religion III
Engineering II (Fluid mechanics)
Programming II
French III or IV (I might be able to skip, but French IV is behind III so it does me no good at this point)
I didn't play a sport Sophomore year but I worked out constantly. I have a job at the local Menards right now, so I don't know how that will be considered.
On top of my schedule sophomore year, I did maintenance on aircraft at the local airport (retiming mags, changing cylinders, compression checks, etc) on the weekends. I also soloed and received my student pilot's license. I do aerobatics at a grass field near me as well. Will any of this give me an edge in flight school?
I'm currently ranked number 19 in my class. I'm involved in the Anthony Munoz leadership conference, the student organization committee, and am an ambassador for my school. I created a fundraiser event for the Wounded Warrior Project also, which is self-explanatory.
I plan on wrestling next year again, but I'm not sure if I can make that time commitment. I'm not sure if a job or wrestling would benefit me more.
How does my current standing look?
Thank you!
