I'm still so sorry!I always appreciate the thought behind a courteous salutation.

Not that it might make much of a difference in my situation, but what did you look like during the application process? Leadership and Academic wise?Get a jrotc nom to every academy you apply to. My friend was nearly recruited for wrestling to Naval but missed out because he didn't bother getting a jrotc nom. He assumed he'd get a congressional. My only nom to WP is a jrotc nom.
Its just a form that your SAI fills out and submits to the academy, really simple process.
I appreciated your courtesy. Not to worry.AH I DIDN'T KNOW I'M SO SORRY

Thank you!Unweighted GPA: 3.9
SAT/ACT superscored: 1480/33
Leadership:
- representative for a state korean association, received honors for my work
- adviser for the principal
- first sergeant of JROTC, over 500 hours invested
- teacher at a korean missionary school, over 400 hours invested
- president of National Technical Honor Society (NTHS)
Sports:
-Varsity Football, one season with varsity letter (I was 3rd string linebacker )
CFA:
- above average everything except mile and sit ups (below average sit ups )
MISC.:

- Coast Guard AIM Program (Really recommend you checking that out, more realistic experience than SLEs)
Essay/Interview Topics (which all connect to each other) :
- Passion for teaching/inspiring others (my time as a teacher and first sgt)
- Leadership (Representative, adviser, teacher, and first sgt)
- Dedication/Commitment (joined rotc my junior year, worked my butt off to go from e-1 to e-8 because I loved the program and also the many hours of teaching)
I'm not in NHS, not an Eagle Scout, not an athlete by any means, no letter of assurance or encouragement, and no other nom besides JROTC Honor Unit of Distinction. I made sure to have a distinct and clear identify. I was not a part of every club there was, I worked and became committed to being a leader in the few clubs I'm in. I've only known about ROTC and the academies for a year and a half. You have 3 years ahead of you. I know you can accomplish a lot more than I have. Best of luck.
The forum is full of the same question. To be blunt no one can tell you what your chances are. All the service academies look at the whole person. The ‘shape’ that they are looking for is well known, they tell you! But there are lots of little things that go into deciding whether an appointment is offered.Hello, I hope you're all having a safe and fantastic week!
So, as you can probably tell, I'm very enthusiastic about joining this Thread for USMA. I know I can never get a guaranteed answer, but I was wondering what you all would think of my chances of getting in.

Are you a junior or senior in high school? If a senior, did you actually go to AIM or SLE (or both) and get into an academy?
If you are a senior, did you not get any other noms that you applied for?
