Chances for West Point?

<p>Okay, so my entire life I've known that I have wanted to join the military, just not any specific branch. However, for awhile now I've set my eyes on West Point, which from my understanding is very hard to get into, and is also my main goal at the moment. I am currently a high school junior and from looking at other files of other students applying to West Point, it seems like I'm not "good" enough.</p>

<p>Freshman Year:
Honors English
Honors Geometry
Honors Western Civ.
Honors Earth Science (New England Landscaping)
Spanish I</p>

<p>Sophomore Year:
Honors English
Honors Algebra II
Honors Biology
Honors Middle East + Honors Sociology
Art Elective
Spanish II</p>

<p>Junior Year (Current Year):
AP Language and Composition
AP U.S. History
Honors Pre-Calc
CP Chemistry (Highest science offered this year)
Art Elective
Crime and Law</p>

<p>My Senior year I am also taking AP Biology, AP Calculus,
AP Literature and Composition, and American Government + Senior Seminar
Literature of War (English Elective)
<em>More to come</em></p>

<p>I currently have a 4.1 GPA.</p>

<p>I play varsity soccer as the goalkeeper (always have played goalkeeper) and run outdoor track (also varsity).
I should be getting into the National Honor Society.
Starting this year and continuing into next year I'm going to be mentoring another student and/or students at my previous elementary school.
I am getting involved in March of Dimes (The Non-Profit Organization helping children, babies, etc., with defects.) I go around getting donations from family, friends, teachers, community members, etc., and will also participate in the annual walk every year.
I also helped run a lawn mowing "business" during the summer and will continue to. (Roughly 10-12 hours a week during the summer).</p>

<p>There's most likely a little bit that I have missed, but from this information, what do I need to do in order to better my chances for West Point? </p>

<p>Thank you for any input.</p>

<p>By most standards, you’re certainly a viable candidate. It can’t be stressed enough that if you move along in the nomination process, that your desire to be a leader of soldiers at a time of war can be clearly enunciated. Also try the USMA forum</p>
