<p>Hey guys I was hoping someone may be able to give me an estimate on where I'm at for Navy. </p>
<p>I'm a senior at a public high school in the northeast of about 1,000 students. </p>
<p>GPA: 3.8 unweighted
Rank: 22/248
SAT I: 670M/740CR
ACT: 33 Composite (36R/31M)
Current Courses: AP Bio; Honors: Calculus, Physics, English, Latin; College Level; Government</p>
<p>EC's: Varsity football (3 letters, captain), Varsity lacrosse (1 letter), Events Editor in school yearbook, Mentor Leader in my school's Mentor Program, member of Best Buddies club, member of Rotary Interact, member of Student Council, Fundraising committee, DECA member (placed first in my section, qualified for states), participate in a weekly organization coaching special needs children how to play sports and interact with other children, active in my family's organization that donates money to the troops and their families (over $250,000 in the past 10 years), Local Heroes member (pack weekly boxes to send to the troops over seas), and a few more I can't think of off of the top of my head.
I work 25+ hours a week as a grocery clerk and have worked as a snowboard instructor and golf caddy. Attended a week long "student trooper" academy with my states State Police, loved it. </p>
<p>I attended a Candidate Visit Weekend last April and loved it, this is my first choice. My application has been 100% complete since August, no LOA. </p>
<p>Well, it really is hard to give chances, because there’s no exact methodology that goes into it. I’ve heard of 4.0 100 club students NOT getting in, and 3.7 3 club students getting in. There are lots of things, as you know, that factor into it, like essay, interview, and nomination (which you’ve checked of your list!). That’s my little disclaimer I like to give. I also recommend this thread: [Answers</a> to “What Are My Chances?” and other Admissions FAQs - United States of America Service Academy Forums](<a href=“http://www.serviceacademyforums.com/showthread.php?t=6327]Answers”>http://www.serviceacademyforums.com/showthread.php?t=6327). Also, that forum is awesome, I highly recommend it! </p>
<p>Now, for the actual answer:</p>
<p>SATs and GPA: Looks pretty solid, great job!
ACT: Great job! Awesome scores.</p>
<p>Classes: These are all good classes; Calc is good because you can then try and validate it too. There are always those that get in with just Pre-Calc, so having Calc helps. How many other AP or college level classes have you taken?</p>
<p>EC’s: Wow! Excellent! </p>
<p>Overall: Yeah, I know I didn’t have a lot to say on all that, but it looks above average, personally, but others with more experience probably have more advice and/or criticisms, but I really think you might get in (Having a nom is great! One less thing to worry about.) but you really never know. </p>
<p>I’ve taken only one other AP class, US History. My school does not offer too many AP classes so I took as many as I could!! Thanks for all you help!</p>
<p>CE said it well. None can “chance” USNA or other SAs. Unlike even the most selective secular institutions, while the profile provides a road map of how the successful candidate must go to earn an offer of appointment, following the route does not always, make that often land candidates on the Yard. For sure the process has a logic and algorithm to it, but it is extremely difficult to recognize and apply for candidates. Simply too many pools and variables that are often candidate-specific. For example, one year your MOC may have none or few viable nominees. The next, he might have many more than 10/slot. State pools vary less, but still difficult and often “political.” </p>
<p>So asking the question is understandable. Offering an answer denies the reality of the situation, and receiving that answer risks grave disappointment … or in very few cases, ecstacy. The best route is embrace patience, do all you can to be the best, most timely candidate you can be, treasure the anticipation, and pray if you’re prone to believing there is One who can and will help you in your great time of need.</p>
<p>People above have said it best; there are very few candidates that are a “for sure”. Being Triple Q’d, DODMERB approved, having a nomination etc. all are gates to hit. Your resume looks pretty good. An admissions rep from Yale told us once that it is like doing a puzzle. Each class is a complete puzzle ideally and while you may be a good fit, if they don’t need “that piece”, you may not get it. Some with seemingly lesser qualities on paper may get in because it fits the puzzle. As hard as it is to do, just keep pushing forward and look at all your options and enjoy your senior year.</p>
