I have a 1437 SAT score and a 34 ACT score. I have a 3.98 GPA. I try to take as many honors and AP classes that are available for me. I have been on varsity tennis 3 years and varsity golf 2 years. I was team captain for tennis last season. For leadership, I participated in the Big Brothers and Big Sisters program to mentor elementary schoolers, attended Girls State, and created and currently lead a book club at my school. I was on student council and I was also a class officer. I'm part of the National Honor Society. I'm also in the girl scouts and I earned the gold award. I also planned and led fundraisers and other occasions for the community. For extracurriculars besides sports, I'm in girl scouts, Big sisters, book club, quizbowl, and I volunteer regularly. My school is pretty small so they don't offer tons of clubs. What do you think my chances are for being accepted into West Point? Or any tips for improving my application?
 
What year of high school are you in?
 
Coming from a smaller school with less opportunities then you listed, you have a solid chance. My school does not offer AP courses, National Honor Society, or Quiz Bowl.... I had a weaker ACT score then you. If you strive for a great CFA score, you will be a great candidate(I did not have the best score, but it was passing). Also, interviews are big. You have to obtain a nomination and if you are in a super competitive district like myself, you need to know what you're talking about, have a plan B, and be you!

You have a solid resume. During COVID 19, work on the CFA. I know I went out and bought a Man's Basketball and kneeled in my gravel driveway on lawn chair mats at night with a flashlight and measuring tape with my parents to conduct the Basketball throw. It is possible to do/practice and just get creative:)

I was offered an appointment to USMAPS '21! Also, work on a ROTC scholarship. I obtained a 4-Year to the Citadel!

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to message me:)
