I am a senior in high school and I came into the process late last year in my quest to attend a service academy. I was a little too late to obtain a nomination so the big three were not options. I did the best that could and was awarded a 4 year NROTC scholarship to the University of Florida(Accepted), and denied AFROTC(before i upped my test scores). I do not want a traditional college experience, so I will be applying to all of academies and trying to craft the most competitive package I can.
I came into my senior year with relatively minimal sports(as I had been at an unhealthy weight for most of high school)
I marched two years of competitive summer drum corps, my second year placing 7th internationally.
I was a drum major and officer in the Band(3 years).
I am in NHS heavily and involved.*
I made the Varsity Track team this year and I will most likely earn a letter.
I picked up tennis.
To do all of this I lost a total of 75 lbs(healthily through diet and exercise and kept it off over the past two years).
I have 100+ community service hours.
I co-founded an American Cancer Society: Relay for Life team and so far we have raised almost $800 through personal fundraisers spanning about 6 people.
My question is: if I am vigilant, retake my SATs in may(my more weak part of my credentials), and apply for nominations as soon as my congressmen and senators open their doors, do I still have to wait until the end of my first semester in college to submit my entire package?
I want to nail the process as well as I can, unlike this current cycle.
Thanks
