Hi I am currently a junior, class of 2016, in high school and I was wondering if I have a decent chance, if any at all, of making it into the USAFA. Here are my stats:
Academics:
3.86 unweighted/4.30 weighted GPA
Class rank: 66/429(I know not very good, I go to an elite high school though)
PSAT: 70CR/71M/70W = 211 total (Should qualify for National Merit Finalist, cutoff was only 207 in my state, Alabama, last year)
ACT 31 composite with 32 English/33 Math/30 Reading/28 Science (This should go up to around a 34 composite, I took it last year without any preparation)
Honors/AP courses: Honors English 9 and 10, AP English 11, Honors Chemistry, AP Chemistry(3 on exam), AP Environmental Science, Honors Algebra 2 w/Trig, Honors Precalculus
I'm going to take AP English 12 as well as Honors Calculus and AP Calculus next year(My school works by semesters so I can take both in the same academic year)
Athletics:
Varsity Football 2 years(Will have 3 years by graduation)
Rec League basketball 3 years(4 years by graduation) Captain all 3 years so far(4 by graduation)
Mile Time:6:23
Shuttle Run:8.20
Have not tried the other events but I am 5'8 and I weigh 140 pounds with a bench max of 165, squat max of 325, power clean max of 175, and a deadlift max of 300 so I am in good overall physical condition.
Extracurricular Activities(non-athletic):
National Honor Society 1 year(2 years by graduation)
Air Force JROTC (4 courses completed by graduation)
Air Force JROTC Academic team
Leadership positions(non-athletic):
Air Force JROTC Flight Operator, rank of Cadet Technical Sergeant
Air Force JROTC Flight Superintendent, rank of Cadet Technical Sergeant
Air Force JROTC Academic team commander, rank of Cadet 2nd Lieutenant
Community Service:
I've done community service with both JROTC and Nation Honor Society. Not sure how many hours.
Work Experience:
None
I'm half white and half Asian from Alabama if that matters...
What are my weakest areas? Will it look really bad that I don't have very many community service hours(only around 100) and no job experience?
Also, I can take another JROTC course next year where I would most likely get another leadership position, or I can take Spanish, which would be better for my application?
Any input is welcome, thanks!
