I'm a rising junior in high school and am planning on applying to USMA this year, and am curious about a) how competitive I am right now, and b) what else I should do to raise my chances of getting accepted.
What I have so far:
-Class president
-Student Representative to the Board of Education
-Lettered in Cross Country and Track
-JV Hockey
-Simsbury Scholar (means I made High Honor Roll for at least the first three quarters of the school year)
-212 PSAT (but took it sophomore year, so doesn't count)
-4.25 GPA (all A's except for a B+ in geometry and algebra 2)
-Have taken all honors/AP classes (when available), except for spanish freshman year
-Am a part of my local Youth Group at church
-Was a member of Boy Scouts until 8th grade (made it to Second Class) but had to stop because I couldn't make the monthly trips due to hockey (I was my teams only goalie) and I was told I would have to go, or I wouldn't advance, and would be kicked out. So I left.
What I'm planning on doing:
-Enlisting in the split-option program for the army reserve during my junior/senior year
-SLS if I can do that along with the split-op
-Either mock trial or FBLA
-Hopefully starting a scholarship program for orphans in Uganda to go to school through our church/a partner organization in Uganda.
What else should I do/work on? And what do they want for community service? I mean, I've worked at and started fundraisers and campaigns to raise money for charities, but I dont have like a sheet that has my hours on it or anything.
Thank you so much for answering!
