-my ALO interview was phenomenal
-have TX-13 nomination (Thornberry)
-no varsity sports (obviously my weakest area)

Any feedback would be great. Thanks!
 
I'm no expert by any means but if I had to say, I think you'd have a pretty good shot! Obviously having no varsity sports won't help, but Eagle Scout is a plus, your academics are great, and NHS president is excellent. Make sure to do well on the CFA in order to make up for the lack of athletics. Good luck!

Do tell how you've done on this.
 
No varsity sports...? Need to rock the CFA. I have two sons who were both fortunate to receive appts to USAFA. One is there now and another chose a different academy. Their ACTs were certainly lower than yours ( which is very impressive )but I truly believe they made the cut due to their sports activities... 3 sport athletes and multiple team captaincies. Best of luck and I hope to see your appt notification this year.
 
For the Class 2017, out of 1190, 79% had an Athletic Letter Award. No numbers for this year.
I think if candidate without varsity sports hits the CFA means, I would say s/he could be competitive and be somewhere in the 21%.
