Hello! I’m a junior in high school that has been interested in USAFA for around 5 years now. I understand that my chances can only be accurately determined by the admissions team, but I would like to gather some insight about holes in my resume. Thank you!
Academics:
- 3.98 unweighted GPA and top 6.5% in my class. (My only B is from AP Physics 1)
- After senior year I will have taken 13 AP classes, a class at the community college, and several honors classes.
- Scored 1300 on an SAT practice test, and will take the real SAT in March.
- Not a lot of STEM exposure, but took/will have taken AP Physics 1, AP Physics 2, AP Chem, AP Calc AB/BC
Athletics:
- Varsity Cross Country (4 years): Team captain for JV during junior year. I will be varsity team captain senior year.
- Varsity Track and Field (4 years): Mid-distance runner and accomplished high jumper. Set the indoor season school record, ranked high in my region as a high jumper. I anticipate being a varsity team captain for both seasons senior year.
Extracurriculars/Leadership:
- Boy Scouts: 7+ years of commitment including positions held such as patrol leader, chaplain aide, assistant senior patrol leader, and the crew leader for my troop’s Philmont Scout Ranch Trek.
- Student Government: 3 years as an elected officer that led/co-led school wide initiatives
- Class Council: 3 years as an elected officer that worked with and led the student body in various school projects and fundraisers
- International Club: Worked as the director of logistics for a community wide culture fair that earned over $15,000 for schools in Lebanon
- Lawn care business paid employee (part-time)
- Summer Internship at an airport (anticipated)
Community Service:
- Started and continue to run a free peer tutoring group to help local kids affected by virtual learning due to Covid-19.
- Earned over 120 hours as a camp counselor at a Scout summer camp
- Service projects with my church group, Scout troop, and on my own
Recognition:
- Eagle Scout (anticipate earning by May)
- 2022 Coach’s Award (the MVP award for my cross country team)
- National Honor Society, Spanish Honor Society, Science National Honor Society
- Superintendent Honor Roll freshman/sophomore year
Any and all feedback is very much appreciated. Thank you so much for your time.
