West Point looks at class rank and not GPA so much. Because GPA varies from school district to school district

 

[Parent of 4]

Everything looks good except the pull ups and push ups are below average.

Class rank and Eagle Scout are huge.

Good Luck to you , hope you make it.

You need a third choice on your survey.

____ darned if I know.

How can you be in Marching Band for 4 years and have 2 years of football, 2 letters, and were the captain? Wouldn't your marching band be on the field at halftime during the football game?

 

[CrewDad]

I like your profile and I too hope you make it. Your upper body strength is weak compared to the rest of your athleticism. This is evident by your pull ups and push ups. You should work on your upper body strength. Your Reading score is low so if you have demonstrated strong English and social studies classes in classes then I think you should be fine. You will be tested well in writing classes so work on writing before enrolling. I noticed many Cadets get C in Plebe writing.

At my school, football practice is right after school and marching band practices at night. Days in the fall were busy. The marching band season is not just football games, but also weekend competitions(I did those). I only marched one halftime show in my football uniform and that was senior night.

I did both at my school. Easier games I actually played with the band at half time.
Worked out well. The owner of Studio 54 loved marching bands and somehow my HS marching band was picked to play at his birthday party at Studio 54. It was an... “unusual” night for a teenager, hanging out with the likes of Andy Warhol.

Did you retake the SAT on the last round? I'd like to see CR over 600.

I took it in April 2017, then again in December 2017. I know there is one in March, would I be able to take that one? Or would it be too late?

 

[mom3boys]

I think you're too late for any more...surprised you didn't take Dec.

Those fall days and nights were busy, Wow! I hope all your hard work pays off. Our country would be well served. Godspeed!

You might want to raise your SAT score to at least a 1340 (50th percentile SAT score at USMA - Princeton Review).
