O.k, I know no one can tell me whether or not I will get in, but I was wondering what my file will look like. I am homeschooled so I have no sports, and after reading other posts I have become somewhat disheartened.
In short, I have
3.67 GPA (Unwieghted, and absolutely NO extra credit was ever offered)
640 Reading, 630 Math for the SAT
I am Medically Qued, and I think my CFA should pass.
I got 3 Noms, from my Senators and Congresswoman.
Since I am Homeschooled, I put a LOT of comments in the comments section, this is exactly what I said.

I have a strong interest in many areas of science, which I independently study. By the age of 11, I designed and built a small car with a lawn mower engine and plywood. Between the ages of 13 and 15, I designed a complete one person submarine. Recently I have been exploring areas of science ranging from aeronautics to alternative energy. I have been hunting and fishing for over 10 years. I run 3 miles/5 days a week. I have designed and constructed several large sheds, and have worked at numerous construction sites.
O.k, so this is not what you would expect on an academy app, but i was told to put everything down. As a Homeschooler without a sport, do you think I stand a chance? Thanks for any input, and best wishes to everyone else competing for an appointment.
