Our daughter is receiving some early advice on what to do to improve her chances for an academy. Curious as to whether that advice is on track. Her stats as an 11th grader...
- 3.86UW GPA - 4.3W
- All Honors Courses
- Student at math/science gifted school in our state (cost free, highly selective); Enrolled in university level courses such as Immunology
-Qualified/Selected for Duke University Talent Development Program
-Qualified/Selected for UNC Chapel Hill Recruitment summer program
-Attended University Engineering Program (by invitation only)
-National Venture Scholar
-3 years varsity track (sprinter and field events)
- 1 year varsity bball, 2 years jv
-Intrammural Soccer Cpt. as junior (generally only seniors are selected)
-Percussion Section Lead (youngest—selected as Freshman); Drumline (by audition only…and only female)
- 100+ Hours Community Service (summer as camp counselor for Catholic camp for refugee children)
- Founder and student head of Chancellor Direct Sponsored Safety Assessment Program at school
-Teen Executive Bd. Member and Newsletter Editor of local chapter of a National Service Organization
- Lead Alter Server at Home Parish (trains other servers and serves at Masses when Bishop present, such as Ordinations, Confirmations, etc.)
- Lead Junior Usher at home parish
--Selected to attend several Leadership Programs (one at school, one statewide, one via national program…all cost free by nomination and acceptance only)
- Working 5+ hours per week
Standardized Tests:
PSAT in 11th Grade 62R, 65M, 61W
SAT in 10th Grade: 570reading 640math 590writing (scheduled to take again this year, in 11th grade)
(Note: Had to take SAT earlier to qualify for the gifted school program)
ADVICE RECEIVED SO FAR…
-Continue with sports and try and be team Cpt. for one or the varsity sports
-Bring up SAT Reading Score and Math, but priority on the reading score (thought is they should go up since these scores were early 10th grade with no test prep and 11th grade PSAT were good)
-Take the ACT soon too
Any other thoughts...for USNA or other academies?
