It's possible for you to go and it's possible for you to not go. It's all case dependent, but yes it is definitely possible for you to get into/go to West Point
 
SATs score will make a difference. Make sure you're signed up for the PSAT this October. That's the one that's used to award merit scholarship money for plans B,C,D, and E.... and you'll need those plans.... which should include applications to the appropriate ROTC programs.
 
Your class rank and test scores are two very important parts of the application process that you did not mention. I do not want to start an argument on the forum but they are usually the things that distinguish good candidates from great candidates. Almost all of the good applicants have taken AP//Honors classes, participated in clubs and activities, volunteered in the community and played sports. Take the ACT and SAT as many times as possible as the academy "super scores" . You class rank is more important than the actual number reported by your school as your GPA. A 3.74 putting you in the top 5% of your class is vastly different than a 3.74 putting you in the top 25% of your class.
