Hello everyone!
I've visited the site a lot before to answer my questions about applying to the academies, but I decided to join so I could ask questions better tailored for me. I'm a prospective for 2018, and am leaning towards USNA because I really want to get into aviation. I live the Chicagoland area and go to a newer school (2006) that already has a history of sending kids to service academies. This year's graduation class sent one of our star football players to the AFA to play football, while the year before that sent one of our star volleyball players and NHS president to USMA. Hoping I can be the first to get into Naval. If anyone is willing, maybe they can figure out how I stack up against the competition? I have decent grades, around a 4.25 weighted and a 3.7 unweighted, with 4 AP classes on the books and another 4 that I'm taking this upcoming year, along with honors in every class that is was offered. I got a 30 composite on my ACT, 31 super-score, sub-scores of a 30 in math, 33 in English and reading, and a 27 in science. As far as extra-curriculars go, I'm in NHS, on JV soccer, play club soccer with Chicago Kickers, varsity girl's swimming since I was a freshman and also do USA swim with a club. I'm president of Key Club, which is a community service club affiliated with Kiwanis, and volunteer at my church. Thanks for any responses in advance, even if it doesn't seem like much, it really helps with the nervousness to talk to someone about it!
