Lack of a Varsity Letter

[mitchb25j]

My application has already been completed for many weeks as of now, but I would like to know how negatively impacted my chances of admission are without having a varsity letter.

I am currently 3Q'd with a nomination, and I understand that other parts of my application would have to make up for the vacuum, but I am just wondering how competitive I can be.

For a bit of background:
-JV Cross Country for junior and senior year
-Commanded and competed at the national level for JROTC drill team for all four years
-Company XO junior year and Company CO senior year for JROTC
-Commanded the JROTC Cyberpatriots cybersecurity team for junior and senior year
-Went to Boys State
-Participated in NHS
-Treasurer for political club junior and senior year
-President of Rho Kappa (social studies NHS) senior year
-Boy Scouts (up to rank of First Class and was a Patrol Leader)
-Military Officers Association Award in junior year
-Warrant Officers Association Award in sophomore year
-Worked in repairing and installing fences about every two weekends, with various lawn mowing and yard work jobs on the side (10-19 hours a week)

Drill team was an extremely large chunk of my energy and time, so I was unable to fully commit myself to any high school sports enough to reach the highly-competitive varsity level.

Thank you, and I can provide academics if it is needed, but I am not entirely looking for a "chances at admission" answer.

No one here knows your chances, no matter how much information you provide. Some 90% of the corps were varsity athletes in high school. Which means some 10% were not. So you have a chance. How good of a chance? Again, no one here will know. Just hang in there, make sure Plan B is in place, and enjoy your senior year.

Plenty of good folks with a wide range of experiences get in and get rejected. Keep your chin up and grind through it! If it is your dream, persue it!

My DS does not have a varsity letter, he has nominations to West Point and USAFA. He just received an appointment to USAFA today. Just go for it!
