So I am a senior in high school and I came into the game late last year in my quest to attend a service academy. I did the best that could and was awarded a 4 year NROTC scholarship to the University of Florida(Accepted), denied AFROTC and I am currently still waiting on the Coast Guard Academy(the only academy I applied to because all of my senatorial and congressional nom deadlines were past due). If I fail to get into CGA, I will be starting the process again this year as early as possible(already submitted a questionnaire for USMA) and trying to craft the most competitive package I can.
I came into my senior year with relatively minimal sports(as I had been at an unhealthy weight for most of high school)
I was a drum major and officer in the Band(3 years)
I am in NHS heavily and involved
I made the Varsity Track team this year and I will most likely earn a letter.
I picked up tennis.
To do all of this I lost a total of 75 lbs(healthily through diet and exercise and kept it off over the past two years)
I have 100+ community service hours
I co-founded an American Cancer Society: Relay for Life team and so far we have raised almost $800 through personal fundraisers over 6ish people
I will be retaking SAT's this spring, but my scores are as follows
-650 CR
-620 M
-550 W
I have a 3.9 GPA(UW) and a 4.6 GPA(W) with a class rank of 25/470(top 5%)
-I will have college credit for the following subjects
--AP Calc(4) - 4h
--Calculus and Analytic Geometry 2- current grade 84% - 5h
--College Algebra - passed with an A - 3h
--AP US Hist(5) - 6h
--AP Human Geo(3) - 3h
--Comp 1 and 2 - both A's - 6h
Nest year I plan to take
-Calc 3 and Differential Equations
-Best reccommended Science for applying to SA as a college applicant
-Best reccommended English
-Computer engineering related classes
I am looking for any advice to make my file the strongest it can possibly be.
I am very determined and I am going to be on the ball for this application cycle. Any feedback is appreciated and I will answer any questions about my resume that I didn't include.
Thanks!
