Is a 3.45 a good enough gpa when applying to West Point? I go to a very competitive high school.
Also, they look at the whole picture. They aren't going to look solely at your GPA and reject you. They will look at everything, everything from all your grades, activities, fitness test, medical record. I wouldn't be too concerned with GPA right now espeically if you're a junior or senior because it can't change that much. I had a 3.6 (for the record).
I'll answer this one too... I had a 3.2 GPA because I failed out of AP Chem and had a D in AP US History largely because I (made the mistake of) not caring. My ACT scores were 26 math, 28 science, 33 reading, 29 English, and they waived me from having to do the writing portion for some reason. I graduated HS in 2007.
I'm really surprised I'm getting the chance because my most recent academic track record wasn't stellar, I failed a college course as well.
