Just a quick post about my chances of acceptance and how I am medically disqualified and what to do with that.

Stats:
3.82 unweighted
4.4 weighted
7 of 149 (based off unweighted)
31 ACT
Varsity Tennis (captain this year)
Varsity Basketball
Recycling Club (selected as leader but club discontinued because of COVID)
FIRST robotics programming team captain
Programming team
Math team
Band
Graduating 1 year early

CFA:
73 ft throw
8.7 shuttle run
8 pull ups
50 push ups
44 sit ups
6:45 mile

Medically Disqualified:
I am medically disqualified for osgood schlatters and braces. (Braces come off in may)
 
The chances are good, but academy admissions look at every application sent and compare you to the rest along with the general standards.
There are many questions that you can ask yourself.

Did you write really strong essays that aren't the regular "I want to serve my country"?

Did you receive your congressional nomination(s)?

How good were the letters of recommendation written about you and did they come from well-known sources?

If you don't mind me asking, are you male or female for your CFA scores? I am somewhat rusty with the male and female standards since I took that two years ago. I do know that if you are a male and you submitted your CFA like so, it is significantly less than what males score on the PFT here and the CFA is way more difficult. If you are a female, props for the eight pull-ups, you killed it.

What concerns me most are your sit-ups and push-ups.

Regarding the medical disqualification, look into the process of receiving a medical waiver! There should be resources either in the application, academy admissions page, Tricare page via the process for your physical, or you can even try searching it up here via the search bar for keywords.

Good luck with your application and let me know if you have any more questions!

I’m a male, I understand the CFA is bad but I failed the first time so that is a retake. I have my nomination. I think my essays are really good, definitely not the norm. And my recommendations are amazing.
 
I just want to bring this back up so I can get some more input on my application. Never know if I'll get in this year and I want to be prepared for next years apps. I didn't get too much input the first time through. (Retaking the ACT in march and already preparing for CFA/Basic)
