Hello, I know these "What are my chances?" threads are posted all the time, but I thought, why not? So, what are my chances and what do I need to work on?

Resume (currently a junior)

Academics
GPA 3.80 UW

School doesn't measure class rank.
I just transferred to a new high school this year. The old one didn't offer any honors or AP courses, but this year I am taking honors and AP classes. By the time I graduate I will have 6 AP classes. I feel that I need to boost myself academically so any advice would be great.

Any and all advice/constructive criticism is welcome.

Your academics and EC's look fine. Make sure to crush the SAT/ACT. Have you started to train for the CFA? If not, begin now and gradually increase your training so that you can take it as soon as you can and pass with flying colors. DO NOT WAIT AND PUT IT OFF. Be sure you have good relationships with your teachers and be thinking about who you are going to ask to write you a letter of recommendation. Your chances of admission ultimately come down to the competitiveness of your district. I had heard this before many times but didn't really comprehend it until I went through the whole process. If you can win your nomination slate, you're in. The reason we can't tell you your chances is not only because we don't have access to your essays, interviews, and LOR's, but because we don't know who else you are competing with in your district and state. Last thing, try to enjoy high school and spend time with your family. Your senior year feels like it goes by in 2 seconds. Good luck!
 
Your resume' is impressive. I agree with USAFA_86's advice about the CFA. Keep on pace and apply to multiple academies and ROTC scholarships to maximize your chances.

Best of luck!
