I am currently a senior in high school(I know I will have to take a year of college first), with a 3.84 GPA, around a 4.00 weighted. I am number 3 in my class of 78, number 1 got accepted into the USNA. I have a 3.837 GPA as of this moment, and a 4.0 for this semester so far. I did not do amazing in my SAT's, but they were OK. I got 660 math and 610 reading. I recently took a placement exam at a CC and I got 99 and 97% in reading and writing, respectively. I think I can do better on the ACT, or even the SAT again. But for now just assume my current SAT score.
I've been a 4 year starting varsity baseball player, and a 1 year varsity basketball player. I can prettily easy meet or exceed the physical requirments. I am about 6'3" and weigh 175 lbs.
Since I started in Highschool I've been a member of National Honor Society, as well as in advanced math and honors/AP English. By my junior year I had passed the AP Calculus exam(Number 1 didn't feel confident enough to take the test) and the AP Lang and Comp exam. Our school only offers 5 AP classes, I took two as a junior, and am taking 2 now.
I have not had a large community service record, mainly minor volunteering within school, but I have held leadership positions at work. In my Freshman and Sophmore year I was a Supervisor at a berry field, and now I am working as a lifeguard at a local pool, most of the time the lifeguard in charge.
As it stands now I plan to enroll in college for the Spring and start persuing Mechanical Engineering while partaking in AFROTC(I did not apply for a scholarship). My dream is to become a pilot and the Academy is the best way to get there, ROTC second.
Without any further changes, assuming I get a congressional nomination, what are my chances?
What can I do to improve my resume? Here is what what I have thought of so far:
1: Join the local CAP attachment. This will also get me volunteer hours.
2: Retake the SAT or ACT. I do not know if I can improve my scores. I do not do well in extended testing sessions.
3: Maintain a 4.0 for the first year in college.
How much will this help me?
Thanks,
Jon Avery
