Hello, I am currently a Sophomore in high school and I am preparing to be the best possible candidate that I can become. I have been striving to attend the United States Air Force Academy for the past 3 years of my life. My motivation is the academy from the minute I wake up until the sun sets. I feel like I am preparing myself very well, however, I know that I can always do better and I am looking for input on how I can achieve improvement. Currently as a student and these are my current credentials:
Classes (10th Grade):
AP U.S. History
Honors Chemistry
Honors Geometry
Honors American Literature
Public Speaking
Spanish 2
GPA:
Weighted: 4.1
Unweighted: 3.8
Extracurricular activities:
JV Cross Country
Varsity Track
NHS Member
Civil Air Patrol Cadet (Grade: C/SSgt) -- Currently pursuing staff positions at my state Encampment - also pursuing promotions as fast as I can get them and aspire to be squadron cadet commander.
Community service in my community - various projects
Peer leader at my school for incoming freshmen
These are my current credentials. My current and most obvious weakness is my math level. I am doing well in my math class, however, my track that I was set on in 5th grade has set me up to take Pre-calc as a Senior in high school. How big of a deterrent is this towards my candidacy success? I am obviously striving to increase my GPA and take harder courses. With this in mind my prospective schedule for Junior year is:
Junior Year Classes:
IB English
IB History
IB Chemistry
Honors Algebra 3/4
Theory of Knowledge (IB)
Spanish 3
After reading all of this I hope that you can assess what I have done and what I will need to do to achieve my ultimate goal of securing an appointment to the USAFA. Thank you for your time and effort in reading all of this.
