Hello I am an official candidate for the United States Naval Academy 2016 class. I however did not become one until the middle of October....which I believe is the second wave. I am in the process of finishing everything up. I just have to visit DODMERB, finish my CFA, and be interview by my blue and gold card officer.
A little about myself is I'm a first generation Hmong-American (Hmong is an Asian ethnicity). I am very involved with my church and in my community. The past three years of highschool I've played football and we've won two state championships. I was a linebacker and leftguard. However, my senior year I opted to play soccer to build my cardio up and to not sustain any major injury to hurt my chances of getting into USNA. This was definitely a major decision. I could have had the chance to play football at small colleges but I want to achieve more in my life and become a naval pilot...my eyesight is perfect too : ) hehe.My grades are fairly well. I have a 4.098 weighted GPA that includes extra points with my AP and honor course. My unweighted GPA is a 3.4658. I am ranked 24/123 students. My SAT scores were not to hot . However my ACT scores came out to be a little better. I scored a 22 composite...which I know is not all to great. Although I am proud of my English/Reading score which is a 31. My weakness has to be math and I know USNA is a math and science school. But I want to go there so bad and I've been working my tail off.
Also, I am concerned with my weight because I am well...a short guy...
I stand at 5'7 and 220 lbs. I was curious to know if USNA will automatically cut me because of my weight???? I've been working hard to cut down. Physically I know I can do 50-70 pushups, 90 situps, and run the mile in the 9 minute range. My pull ups suck but I've been working on them. The shuttle run is no problem for me because I am quick.
I also was curious on walking on the football team. I've missed playing football this year and was wondering if there were walkon tryouts. I would love for that to be my varsity sport if appointed there.
If not appointed there this year I would LOVE to attend NAPS.
Sry if the post is to long...
Oh yes btw PM for any tips!
Thanks!!!
