Am I screwed for the Naval Academy?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>This is the summer before my junior year and I recently visited the Naval Academy in Annapolis and was inspired to potentially go to school there. </p>

<p>But the thing is that the military academies are more science and math oriented, compared to my reading and writing strengths. Earlier this hear I nearly flunked my Honors Chemistry final and have already decided that I am going to take regular physics this year instead of honors physics. My math has been my second weakest point, abut I improved every quarter, and got an A in the fourth quarter of this year (95%in Honors Algebra 2).</p>

<p>All of my other grades are ggood, but my school does not calculate grades on a 4 point scale so I don't know that number.
My extraciriculars are okay, I am on the golf team, and and was one step away from going to the state finals. Also I am a good distance runner in track.</p>

<p>I have gone to states for FBLA, and will be an Eagle Scout within 6 months.</p>

<p>During the next school year, I am planning on joining the Red Cross Club and the History club in my school.</p>

<p>I apologize in advance for bad grammer, because I am trying to do this from my phone.</p>

<p>I'm not really sure I want to attend, I know that it is very difficult compared to regular college life, but I just want to know if I should still consider going here, because I know that it is extremely competitive, and if I don't have a good chance I will just forget it all, because this is not my first choice at the moment.</p>

<p>The level of commitment that is required to be an applicant for one of the service academies (i.e. securing a congressional nomination, etc). is typically only appropriate if said academy is your “first choice.” </p>

<p>It could become my first choice, I just started considering it.</p>

<p>But if it is to math and science oriented, then I’ll just move on.</p>

<p>Look at the required courses there from the website. The Academy gives all students a BS - Bachelors of Science so there are a lot of requirements in math and science. That may help you decide. That is also good to look at for all colleges. </p>
