<p>Other Info
I'm a sophomore attending a very well acclaimed, magnet high school, specializing in the medical field. The name of the school is Health Careers High School, which has won several awards demonstrating its excellence, such as being one of Intel¡¦s Scholastic top 6 schools in academics, a National Blue Ribbon School, has a 99%-100% TAKS passing rate, has had several teachers reach state level for Best Teacher of the Year, and has had National finalist in both the Intel Science Fair and History Fair. My only fear is that from this great reputation, comes weakness. The weakness is that though I try hard in my classes, people at my school are geniuses, so my class rank will look horrible.</p>

<p>If you're only a sophomore, why are you concerned about not having sports? Just start now, play this spring and again next year.</p>

<p>The Air Force Academy has a high emphasis on athletics, both in admissions and while at the academy. I recently read that about 80% of those accepted had lettered in a sport. Are you sure this is where you want to go?</p>
