I am a high school junior and just recently started looking into USNA around mid-February. I know it's kind of late now to be improving my stats to even have a chance of getting in, but looking into the academy and seeing everything they offer lit something inside of me and it's making me a little crazy lol. It isn't a short-term infatuation either, I'm not completely sure why but I just want to do everything I can to be able to get into this academy and into the summer program. From all my research I understand that the summer seminar doesn't decide whether you have a good chance of getting into the academy or not but getting in would be a huge motivation and a step toward my goal.
Because I just recently have come to decide that USNA was where I wanted to go in the future my stats aren't the best compared to many others but they are not the worst either
My school has no rank system but it is an extremely competitive school
Weighted GPA: 3.5
Unweight GPA: 3.7
APs: AP World, AP Seminar, AP Composition, AP Calculus AB
In my senior year, I am planning to take AP Photography, AP French, AP Physics, and AP Statistics or AP Precalc
Some current classes I have taken or am taking now I would like to mention are Earth Science, Living Environment w lab, Chemistry w lab, Regent Physics w Lab, Intro to Engineering, and Civil Engineering and Architecture
I have also taken all the required math classes before AP Calculus AB because I am in the double Excel program
My PSAT score: 1360
630 Reading and Writing 730 Math
My ACT score: 31
30 Math 29 Science 28 English 35 Reading
I plan to retake this and try to get a 34-35 score
For School Clubs:
I am a candidate for NAHS
I am a member of the Engineering Club (Just Started going)
For my sports:
I have been on the Varsity Swim Team for 3 years so far (and hope to get captain my senior year)
I swam a lot outside school too until the end of Freshman year when I had to get jaw surgery so I stopped but I still swim in school
I was awarded MIP by my coach
I have received Divison and County awards throughout my three years
I also do boxing outside of school (no competitions though)
For my extracurricular:
Before I decided to choose the NAVY, a lot of my focus went toward art so I have many years of art experience
I have won 2 gold keys in Scholastic Arts, and a couple of silvers too
I attended a pre-college at SVA for interior design
I attended a pre-college at RISD for architecture
I attended a pre-college for Debate called VBI
I think I am part of the Debate Honor Society (Not sure of this yet)
Community service:
A lot of this I just recently started because I understood how important this was for the academy and how important it was to help the community
Graphic designer for a non-profit organization (I had been doing this for a while before I even decided on USNA)
Volunteer at my local library (only about 3 hours)
A volunteer tutor (I tutor about 2-3 hours a week) (8 hours currently)
A volunteer at my local food bank (about ten hours now)
A volunteer at a local teaching place (about twelve hours now) (I do 6 hours a week and just started two weeks ago lol)
Extra stuff:
I have my lifeguarding certificate and a swim instructor certificate
Any tips on improving my stats would be greatly appreciated.
Also, What are my chances of getting into NASS?
