Hey everyone,
I'm new here, but I wanted to basically post my current resumé and see if y'all have any suggestions. I've just started my junior year, and I want to know what to improve on this year. So here goes
Weighted GPA: 5.3 on a 5.0 scale (regular classes are weighted 5.0, AP classes are weighted 6.0)
Class Rank: 2
Captain, Debate Team
National Forensic League member (Degree: Special Distinction)
President, Mu Alpha Theta (Math Honor Society)
NHS member
PSAT score: 233 (I'm taking my SAT in 2 weeks)
Civil Air Patrol: Flight Commander, C/MSgt (I should have my Mitchell award by the end of next summer)
Member of local Congressional Youth Advisory Council
Now my concern is athletics. I'm enrolled in weightlifting this year not as a competitive sport, but just to stay in shape and get stronger. I did JV tennis my sophomore year, but I didn't really do well. I don't have time for any competitive sports this year, and I'm concerned about how this will look to the Academies. Will taking 5 AP classes Junior year, and even more senior year, outweigh my lack of any Varsity sports for 3-4 years? On a side note, I might do Cross Country senior year, if my schedule allows it.
I thank everyone who replies in advance for you input.
