I will be re-applying to West Point this year as a college freshman. What would be the best way to make myself stand out when compared to other applicants, as a college student?
I realized I had the wrong attitude when applying last year. I didn't try hard enough to earn an appointment and I have no one to blame but myself. I had the mindset of, " If I..", when it should have been " I have to or I need to". Since I'm already medically disqualified, I'm determined to try harder and not give up when applying this year. I will apply myself to keep my grades up and will push myself to max out in every category on the fitness test.
Here's a list of the classes I will be taking at Penn State University Branch Campus this semester. Math 041 (Pre-calc), Chem 108, Chem 110, Army 101 (Army ROTC), Ballroom Dancing, First Year Experience, Mediterranean Studies (Honors Course).
I'm enrolled in the College of Engineering and also the Honors program. Besides doing Army ROTC, I plan to help out with the college's THON program, which raises money for childhood cancer. In the spring, I will be taking Calc I, Physics I, and Engineering Design along with other classes.
I know that college is very different from high school and being involved in the classes listed above, along with Army ROTC, I will have a lot of responsibility and studying on my part. However, I'm very determined to excel. I've heard that there has been a connection between the competitiveness of an applicant and getting a medical waiver. My goal is to become an Army Officer.
Thanks
