<p>Possibly looking at one more officer position, but would rather concentrate on what I have right now. </p>
<p>Last summer, I spent the majority of my time as a swim instructor as well as performing lifeguard duties. This summer, doing that as well as returning to Taiwan to teach English. Also applying for Boy's State. </p>
<p>How bad are my ECs? I know they're not that great, but are they at least acceptable? I'm a member of numerous other clubs, but I'm not sure if I can handle another officer position since I'd really like to focus on my club as well as the Legion. </p>
<p>Erikt360,
You have excellent Academics, Athletics and Leadership. I think the best place to look at how you stack up is to consider the profile for the USMA Class of 2014 and look at the leadership positions listed: [url=<a href=“http://www.usma.edu/Class/2014/profile.asp]United”>http://www.usma.edu/Class/2014/profile.asp]United</a> States Military Academy at West Point<a href=“USMA%20has%20not%20listed%20stats%20for%20Class%20of%202015”>/url</a>.</p>
<p>Do you have or have you been Captain of Swim Team? THat would be a strong point for USMA and if you have good times in swimming, you may want to begin contacting the USMA Swim Coach – it certainly can’t hurt to compare your current times with those listed on USMA web site. </p>
<p>I also know that USMA looks very strongly upon Boys State and sounds like you are very well connected with American Legion. </p>
<p>I think when it comes to EC’s, most recommend being involved in activities you enjoy and can point to leadership roles. It appears that you have done that very well! </p>
<p>Good luck and keep up good work on SAT scores! Take as many as you can and keep improving!</p>
<p>Academics is 60% of their decision, so if you have that nailed, you’re good to go. I don’t see anything wrong with your ECs and if you’re a swimmer, you’ll pbly score high on your CFA.</p>
<p>When WP chooses applicants, they this is how they weight it:
60% academics
30% EC
10% CFA (candidate fitness assessment).</p>
<p>As long as you don’t screw up your paperwork or something, I think you’ve got an incredibly good chance at getting in.</p>
<p>Alright, junior year is beginning to wrap up in a few months, so I’d like to update this and see if I can get some more opinions on how to improve: </p>
