Odds of getting in?

Your profile looks really good, I think you have a good shot! Just don't let the worrying consume you, all we can do is wait now. The worrying has been driving me crazy too. Try and enjoy the rest of Senior year. If you get into the academy there won't be as many freedoms so enjoy it while it lasts!
 
I will stick my neck out, I think you are going to get an offer, good grades, spankin hot ACT and plenty good enough CFA.
You already have a nom...
Pack you bags and get ready for that high altitude...
Most of the posters on here are downplayers on the posters here, granted - I have less experience than many, but regardless...
Good luck, and I am officially the first to say congratulations :)
I accidentally skimmed by the fact that Rep Emmer already gave him the nod. The MN district he is in isn't brutally competitive. Plus, in the past two years, the district shed a few USAFA cadets though graduation. This year, my DS is from the same district as a senior. But SA's academies have become more popular (higher visibility) in this district as of recent. So there is a possibility a lot more applied. But if my math is correct and barring more appointments, there is a total of 2 Cadets next year at USAFA. So there is a room for him (the Representative isn't full of USAFA cadets). In short, we agree. :)

To the OP. Work on your mid distance running (shave off 30 seconds on your mile) and beef up those pull-ups to around 18. Life will be much easier this summer if you do! Let us know when you eventually hear. Good luck!
 
Thanks everyone for all the good advice, I was just hoping to gauge a bit how my numbers compared to past years but I guess all that's left is to wait :/

Thanks! To be honest, a shot is all I'm really looking for, obviously it'd be an amazing opportunity if I were to get in, but if not, it's not the end of the world either. Until I find out though, I'll be working toward just getting better physically just in case :D

I had no idea about numbers in my district, out of curiosity how did you find those out? And yes, I'll be working hard to improve even more so if I were to get in, BCT and life at the academy wouldn't be quite as challenging.
