Hello,
When I started plotting all of the tentative dates for things I am trying to do this summer, I noticed that the dates for Connecticut Girls' State overlap with the Army Women's Lacrosse Camp that I had originally planned on doing. I am super bummed out about this as both were things that I was excited to do.
If I choose to go to Girls' State (assuming I am accepted--I applied Feb. 1 but have not had any correspondance) I know it will increase the competitiveness of my WCS. I do have other leadership aspects--current captain of a sport and likely to be a captain of at least one more if not two, likely president of Student Government next year, band section leader, etc. However, I am concerned that not having Girls' State will hurt my chances. I also am genuinely interested in Girls' State, as government is a path I would like to follow.
If I choose to go to the Army Lacrosse Camp, it will likely be my best and only good shot to get in front of the USMA coaching staff. I contacted them a while back to introduce myself but have not received any correspondence. Lacrosse is something that I want to pursue, however the later it gets in the game the lower my chances are. I was All-State second team last year (as a sophomore) and will probably improve a lot before the camp. I'm afraid that if I don't go to the camp I will have virtually no chance of playing at West Point as I no longer play club. Please note that I would not likely be a blue-chip recruit so it will probably not have any effect on admissions, and that I will try to walk on if I am not recruited.
What I need advice on is what I should pick. What would you do if you were in my position? Would you give up a good shot to get in front of a coach or sacrifice a boost to the WCS? I should add that I have already been accepted to SLE and that it will not conflict with any of my other plans. If you have any questions about my situation or need me to clarify anything please ask.
Thank you, Beat Navy.
