Good morning, everyone. I'm a freshman in a big high school (4k+ students), and I want to attend USAFA or USNA. I've done my fair share of research into SA applications and the process, but I want to hear what people with SA experience think of how my current "resume" looks.

Extracurriculars
Academics
- IB Student
- 4.00 unweighted GPA, 4.94 weighted GPA

- Taking algebra 2 honors and chemistry honors, taking AP pre-calculus and physics honors next year, and taking AP calculus junior year, IB math analysis senior year, and IB physics upperclassman years
- 1300 PSAT score
- Swimming (my school doesn't have JV swimming, so technically varsity??)
- Starting cross country practice this month to compete next year (same situation with JV)

Extracurriculars
- Key Club member (ran for board, didn't get it, running again next year)

- Running for class secretary for next year
- Model UN member (ran for board, not sure if I got it, but likely not)
- Civil Air Patrol cadet, flight sergeant (I'm in charge of a flight, aka. "platoon" in non-USAF terms, of all the prospects/new cadets, helping them out with the basics of the program, training them, mentoring, etc.). I also plan on applying to CAP flight scholarships once I'm eligible so I can get flight hours and a PPL
- Working on starting a JROTC unit at my school, but I'm unsure if it will happen
- Applying to join NHS next year (I already have a ton of hours through the CAP that I haven't submitted yet, so I'll hopefully be eligible to join NHS once I submit them)
- Applying to join MAO (math honor society) next year
- Considering applying to join PBC (science honor society) or physics club next year
- Started attending First Priority meetings late this year, going to be a full member next year (planning on running for board next year)
