What are my chances at appointment?

[navymom2021]

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone could give me some insight on if I have a chance and possibly some tips on improving my application.

My GPA is a 4.44 weighted, class rank 11/402, SAT 1310, and ACT 30. I have taken up to Latin 4 and I took AP Bio and AP English Language last year and this year I am taking AP English Literature, AP Government, AP Chemistry, and AP Calculus. I am also in band and I made district band last year and I am in the marching band as well and I am trumpet section leader this year. I also have been class president for the past 4 years and I am president of NHS. I am in a bunch of clubs like chem club, environmental club, a community service club (I am VP of this club), international club, math honor society, and I am a student ambassador. I also swim(all-conference), and play tennis (I got the sportsmanship award this year, is it worth it to include?) and I rowed 8-10th grade. I'm also involved in the church and I was in a musical group outside of school for a year. I also am a lifeguard at a local pool.

Also, my dad was a graduate from USNA c/o 1989. I already received a presidential nom, can someone explain how much weight him being a graduate pulls because I have heard mixed responses from multiple people.

In my opinion your chances are exceptional, hopefully you have everything already completed and turned in. Your GPA, class rank, test scores, AP classes, extracurricular activities/sports, leadership positions and presidential nomination almost mirrors exactly my DS USNA resume/package. He had everything completed and turned in by the end of August. On Monday my DS received and accepted his appointment to the USNA class of 2021. He is the first person in our family to receive an appointment to a service academy but his father has been active duty Navy for 27 years.....other than getting a presidential nomination from his dad's service I don't believe it carries any other weight in the admissions process. We were super shocked and excited for him to get an appointment so early. We live in SE Virginia where the congressional/senator nominations are highly competitive. Best of luck!
