<p>I am currently a junior in high school and I would like to know what you think of my chances of being admitted into west point.
My high school is a little different than others. It is a public magnet career academy that specializes in marine sciences, engineering, and technology. They do not give class rank and there aren't different levels of classes; all classes are considered honors. We are a NJROTC distinguished unit with honors.
I have a 95.3 cumulative gpa and I take ap calc AB. Next year I will take ap calc BC and ap physics along with taking the ap history test for us history this spring. If they gave class rank I would be in the top 5 or 6 out of 69. I took the sat in November and got a 1920 (650 cr, 650 m, 620 w) without preparing at all. I plan to take it again in February after taking a course. I got a 1970 on the PSAT I think, I don't remember exactly.
I hope to play baseball at west point. I am able to play baseball for my home high school and I will have two letters by time I graduate. My travel coach, who is a professional scout, thinks that I am good enough to play for army. I have contacted the coach already and have filled out the recruiting questionairre on the website.
I have not been involved in drill or color guard for njrotc because I can't make a commitment due to baseball. I plan on applying for a chief position next year and I think I have a good chance at getting it. I am a member of national honor society and I am thinking of running for office. I am part of key club, mock trial, Latin club (which I will be an officer of next year), and will be on Latin honor society this spring. As for out of school activities, I run an annual collection for troops overseas in coordination with AUSA. I also coach a baseball clinic that includes kids with autism and add. Over the summer I plan on volunteering at the local hospital.
I plan on applying for both sls and boys state. I was hoping to get an opinion on how competitve I look for sls, boys state, nomination, and admission for west point. Thanks.</p>
<p>your school stats are so much different than mine, I have no idea what to think of them…our gpa’s are on the 4.0 scale and im guessing yours is out of 100?</p>
<p>Yea it’s weird how my school does gpa. It’s out of 100 and their is no weighted gpa. I believe it would translate to a 4.0</p>
<p>Is there anyone else who can give me their thoughts?</p>
<p>Can anyone tell me how long it takes to find out if you were selected for sls?</p>
<p>depends, sometimes just a few weeks or a few months</p>
<p>I just found out from guidance counselor that I am in top 5% of class. Can anybody else give me their opinion of my chances?</p>
