Hi, I'm a sophomore in high school who has decided that he wants to go to West Point more than anything in else in the world, and is willing to sacrifice to get there. Academically, I feel that I'm on track, 4.25 GPA, 2nd in class, 1280 on SAT's(plan on retaking a couple times), all honors classes. However, I realized that the other aspects of my application might need work. I currently play hockey and football, and am a member of FBLA, but i plan joining spring track, TSA(Engineering Club), and running for class office next year. I also considered forgoing a part-time job, and instead racking up around 15-20 hours a week in community service, because I figured that would be more beneficial. And in regards to the CFA, I can currently do 40 push-ups, 40 sit-ups, and only 1 pull-up. I have put together a training routine to help get stronger.
Routine(4-weeks)
Set 1: 25 Push-up, 25 Sit-up, 1 pull-up x 3
Set 2: 30 Push-up, 30 Sit-up, 1 pull-up x3
Set 3: 35 Push-up, 35 Sit-up, 1 pull-up x4
Set 4: 25 Push-up, 25 Sit-up, 1 pull-up x2
I plan on reevaluating this every 4 weeks based on my gains. I'm new to this forum, but I have found it very helpful in starting to make an action plan for applying to West Point. I would appreciate any suggestions or comments on how I could improve my plan. Thank you all very much for all the help you have already given to me.
