School stats current hs Sophomore at catholic prep school
1. GPA 3.5
2. PSAT score 930 (first-time past nerves hit me hard)
3. 1 year of varsity Water polo (hopefully two more years post covid) Also compete in club cycling and race in Europe
4. Science Olympiad and student marketing club, volunteer hours, CFLA leadership academy (should I add more clubs)
5. History of military service in the family(dose this even matter.
6. Had honors courses freshman year but did not get placed in them sophomore year. Will this be frowned upon on my application. I had a B average in my honors courses last year with an A in the regular college prep courses.

What do I need to approve to up my chances of admission?
What looks really good on a USNA application?
Is it too early to talk to a blue and gold officer?
What can I do to stand out?
Should I play another sport?
I may or may not have an asthma condition that doesn't bother me will that affect my application?
Can you commission as marine out of the academy?

Academics carries the most weightage. Work on improving grades, SAT/ACT scores.
The best resource: www.usna.edu

Yes

Be standout in what you play, aim for a leadership position in the sports.

only DoDmerb can asnwer during your application process.

It depends who is assigned to be BGO in your region. BGO is a volunteer position and they have family/jobs etc etc. Some maybe be willng to speak with you so early, some may wait. In case of my DD, they waited till she as assigned.
