Age: 17, senior
ACT: 29 (retaking soon)
SAT: 1350 (not retaking because I prefer ACT)
GPA: 4.33 W, 3.7 UW (will improve a lot after first semester of senior year)
Senior courseload: AP Macro, AP Gov and Politics, AP Calc AB, AP Bio, AP Literature, AP Psychology, Honors independent computer science study
Athletics: 3-year starting varsity athelete, first team all area and all conference, hoping for first team all state this year, Captain, 4 year junior national club team
EC: Student Athlete Leadership Team, Business Club (3 time state qualifier), cofounder of one club, founder and president of another (young republicans club), anti-cyber bullying club, Christian athletes club (low time commitment), and NHS
Volunteer work: coach at my old school for 8th graders and local food pantry
Fitness: work out 4-5 times a week, currently sport specific with some other parts such as an emphasis on pull-ups and pushups for my CFA for USNA and PFE for USCGA, have a personal trainer I also work with 1-2 times a week
Work experience: had a job for ~4.5 years now and 2 summer internships (1 was paid, other was with a Fortune 500 company) in the IT and cyber security field.
LOR: a bunch of my teachers are super excited and happy I am applying to service academies and they know me pretty well
Intended major at USCGA: cyber systems
I think I need to really focus on my essays and obtaining my letters of recommendation as quickly as possible. Another thing is just grinding a few more points on ACT and banging out my daily pushups. Any other advice in this process please comment or PM me. Thank you!!
