<p>Seung37, Nice stats. You seem like a very well rounded candidate with a lot to offer. Aside from the fact that your CR-680 is a bit low for Princeton, you seem to have a very good shot. I also see that you went to SLS. Are you applying to West Point and if so is it your top choice? I’m applying to both Princeton and West Point. Chance me back?</p>

<p>Just a glance(I’m too lazy to type a lot)</p>

<p>I have solid A’s with 1 blemish(AP Bio=2 semester of B+s)

<p>Boy Scouts(Eagle Scout, many leadership pos.), lots of community service, Academic Competition Team (capt.), Mock Trial, Pro-life club(VP), and a few other activities that have less involvement than these mentioned.</p>

<p>I am also the founder of my school’s Ping Pong Club which is in the process of getting started</p>

<p>What’s your opinion from what I’ve given you?</p>

<p>As long as you have the athletic requirements (as in passing the test) and are able to get a congressional nomination, you should be competitive at West Point.</p>

<p>I actually did not enjoy West Point but would definitely recommend it to anyone who thinks it’s the right fit for them. And you also have a good shot at Princeton as well, hopefully we both get in.</p>
