Short version of my application:
Academic -
ACT - 33 Composite, 34 Math, 33 English
SAT - 2230 Total, 700 Math, 760 Reading
GPA - 3.93 Unweighted, 4.67 Weighted
Currently taking Calculus 3, AP Literature, and Honors Physics
In National Honor Society, National Merit Commended Scholar, AP Scholar with honor (Including 5 on AP Calc BC and AP Lang and Comp), soon to graduate Summa Cum Laude.
Extracurricular -
Petty Officer 1st Class in United States Naval Sea Cadet Corps
Several years of Judo (started before high school) at local club
Member of a Church youth group
And of course I already have a Congressional Nomination, I am medically qualified, and I finished B&G interview.
Now here's where the biggest problem comes in:
Candidate Fitness Assessment (taken while recovering from a gastro/cardio disease)
BB Throw - 45ft
Pull-ups - 14
Shuttle Run - 8.2s
Crunches - 86
Push-ups - 55
Mile Run - 7:50
Now I don't claim to be the most fit teen ever, most of my scores are in the average to below average range, but 7 minutes and 50 seconds is downright atrocious. My question, in short, is whether this one particular red flag on my application is bad enough to shoot down the rest of it?
