Looks like it, but no one here can say with much certainty. Beyond being qualified, you need to be the most competitive within your congressional slate. If you're in Dallas, that can be a very competitive area. I recommend you try to increase your SAT score, or see if your ACT score ends up being better which often happens. Also train for the CFA. Golf is a good sport but you'll need to be a good runner and strong on the push ups, pull ups, etc. to do well on the CFA. Start training now if you haven't already. Best of luck!

You sound very much like my 2021 Mid in her JR year. Small, all girls school, sports and clubs. Stay the course, you are competitive based on DD's appointment. Re-testing won't hurt and as mentioned above try the ACT. DD did much better on that version.

I highly recommend reaching out to the golf coach asap. It was decades ago when I was recruited for golf (USMA), and it was hard for coaches to separate players who want to have a military career. I was able to get an appointment from a competitive area with abysmal SAT scores (compared to yours). The NCAA sport coaches can help significantly. Reaching out to the coach is really the only way to get on the coach's radar. If you play AJGA, the coach should be pleased to hear from you. Good luck!

Wow, your package looks very strong! Have you tried a CFA yet? My DS thought he had it in the BAG... took him 3 tries before he actually passed it.. practice now.. make it a regular and you will really stand out..
