I am currently a senior in High School who is strongly considering enlisting in the National Guard. I will do split training, as I am already enrolled in college. I was wondering if anyone could give me any insight on active duty/guard appointments to West Point. I would have applied to the USMA but I didn't feel my gpa was good enough, I also played only a few varsity sports throughout high school and I wasn't a star. I plan on doing AROTC my freshman year as an SMP cadet, and after my freshman year, apply to the USMA. The college I am attending is a small liberal arts college with a VERY good reputation, my state senator is an alumnus.
Here's my High School information
3.3 GPA (Almost exclusively Honor's and AP Classes)
29 ACT
Rotarian (Nominated by teachers and administrators, very prestigious club at my school)
Varsity Football
German Club, Quiz Bowl, DARE role model , Speech and Debate Club, Anti-bullying mentor, Founder and President of a hunger prevention club
Do I have a good shot of getting an appointment to West Point or the prep school? Thank you for any insight you can give. Also I am aware that I can commission through AROTC, but it is my dream to attend West Point.
