It’s tough to answer these type of questions but I’ll throw in my two cents. DD has a direct appt and will be entering the Academy summer. I don’t see any math, and USCGA is really a STEM school. I’d suggest AP Calc next year (for any university). Assuming you’re a Junior?.. ACT score is good, gpa seems a little low when you factor in AP courses… work on the leadership stuff. Varsity sports captain is good abd good luck.

Do you think my ACT score is high enough to make up for my low GPA? I am also being recruited to swim there. How much does that help my chances?

I hope you applied. Your stats are good and think you have a good chance!
