Do I have a chance?

[USNA2021]

<p>I am a sophomore in high school. I have been wanting to go to USNA since the sixth grade. I have already looked into attending Summer Seminar and have began raising money to go. </p>

<p>Resume
- I have a 3.5 unweighted GPA
- Enrolled in all Honors classes
- I am a member of the academy of health careers at my school, this is a program that helps get students a foot in the door in medical career. (Very competitive)
- A member of my school's HOSA club (Health occupation students of America)
- Varsity Swimmer
- this year I want to take the ACT & SAT I'm looking to make atleast a 30 on the ACT and its equivalent on the SAT
- Looking into a job as soon as I turn 16 </p>

<p>THANK YOU FOR READING!
Please give any and all advice, I am open for anything. Due to my tight swimming schedule and soon to have job, it will be very difficult to do anything else as far as organizations. I am looking into more in-school clubs. Thanks again for reading! </p>

<p>I am a senior currently applying to USNA. I am also a swimmer so I understand how stressful it can be to be a competitive swimmer while trying to be involved in your school. My advice would be to continue to take as many Honors and AP classes as you can while also trying to bring up your GPA a bit. I know this can be a very hard task but if you can show an upward progression to your grades it will look very good to the academy. Personally, I did not attend a summer seminar, however, once you start working on your application be sure to look into going on a CVW. I went on one and it was an awesome experience. If you can also work your way into leadership positions within the clubs you are in as well as the sports you are in it will look very good on your app. Best of luck with your swimming and application process.</p>
