Hi, I am currently a sophomore in high school planning to apply for the Naval Academy. I have some general questions and would love advice if you have any.
Currently I have about a 4.2/4.3 weighted GPA and will most likely finish high school around there.
I've been preparing for the SAT as well, and will most likely get at least a 1500+/1600.
For extracurriculars: I am president of my class, I am on the varsity tennis team, and do several clubs like Model UN and so on.
1) I plan to major in something like computer science. How do majors exactly work at the Naval Academy? If i major in computer science, then what would my job in the navy be like?
2) Based on the info I've provided above, what do you think are areas I should improve upon to help my chances of making it into the academy?
3) Just out of curiosity, how is life after the military? I plan to serve and all that, but for after when I go back to a civilian lifestyle, would finding jobs be extremely difficult?
And if you have any other advice or tips that you'd like to share, please do!
