The only gap I can see is that you were not a varsity captain of a team sport. There would be some concerns about your ability to handle the physical stress of the Academy. Otherwise, you check off all the boxes. About 40% of students selected for SLE who apply end up getting an appointment. You should check your congressman’s website to see if he’s soliciting applications right now because he probably is

Hi, thanks for the reply!
I know am below the Academy’s physical performance averages, from my below average CFA scores. But would this be an issue that stops my acceptance, even if I “pass” the CFA, and pass the basic medical test? I feel like physical performance is more easily improved than mental capabilities… what are your thoughts?

Do you have a nomination? Is skiing a varsity sport?

Hi,
I’m applying for nominations right now… they’re due on November 1st. Yes, Nordic is a varsity sport, and I have been varsity since freshman year.
