My DS enlisted as a plan B. He has a Jul ship date, but also has an LOA from USNA. I would echo the others that say, as a Freshman work to make yourself to get a USNA appt. But also be realistic and have other plans. For my son, Plan B was a USMC enlistment.
Edit: I forgot to mention that there are various options for enlistment to officer ("Mustangs" they are called). One is to get an undergrad degree while enlisted, then OCS to commission. For some people this may make you a better officer. Is it worth 4 years as enlisted, then OCS, etc.? Depends on you really.
I hope he didn't enlist for active duty.
