Somebody's going to reply that you need all of your ACT scores in the 30's, but if you are being recruited by the West Point Football Coach, your scores may be good enough. I really don't know how much of a break athletes get. The whole recruited athlete thing is a mystery to me. Try to get Captain for sure.

One thing for sure, improving your ACT scores certainly won't hurt. I think the next ACT is late September. I'd get a book and study the math over the summer until I couldn't study anymore.

I knew that about the ACT, and I just retook that a week or two ago. Also, I am going to take it again. Anything else?

Overall you look competitive however the competition keeps getting tougher year in and year out. So ...

- Keep volunteering regularly and commit to one or two things rather than four different things occasionally;

- Don't take anything for granted and don't lose focus on your academics. That means take the hardest classes you can handle while keeping the grades up;

- Look for ways to exhibit leadership and seek out challenges. Become someone others want to emulate.
