Hello! I have posted previously once on this forum regarding my application and ECAs. Currently, I'm stuck between pursuing the following athletic sports next year.
- Joining Swim and Lettering
- Joining XC and Track with a much signficantly lower chance of lettering (XC and Track is EXTREMELY competitive at my school)
This seems like a lot, and I don't really know what to try and doing. My biggest hole in my USNA application is the lack of athletic sports and leadership in that area. I have been doing Archery for 5 years now and served as a Team Captain for it for 1. I do plan on doing Taekwondo in December. Other than that, I don't really know how to make up for my lack of sports leadership and sports in general.
I have heard that an oustanding score on the CFA can make up for the lack of athletic sports. Is this really the case? Or is it better to try and work on a sport next year?
Also, side question, how good does 5 years of Archery and a couple of state titles look to the admissions committee?
Thank you!
