<p>Hey everyone! I am a junior in high school and I just joined because it seems like there are a lot of parents and students with experience in Service Academy applications/admissions on this forum.</p>
<p>I do not know my class rank or GPA, but I would say my weighted GPA is around a 3.8.
I have taken all but two Honors courses and I am taking two APs next year. </p>
<p>My extracurricular are really weak...
4 years of Crew - 3 Varsity letters (1 attained as manager)
1 year of Cross Country - I'm joining next fall so I don't even know if this will count towards anything (I think I can get a V letter)
2 years Environmental Club (it sounds lame but we do a lot of events) - held officer position both years
1 year school paper</p>
<p>SATs (combined 1980)
verbal - 700
math - 560
writing - 720
My math is not so good, but I am taking them again in June along with my first ACTs and I hope to get around a 2100</p>
<p>As far as outside of school I've only really done 3 summers of a Crew camp</p>
<p>I'm already training for the physical fitness exam. I am really passionate about attending West Point and even if I don't stand a chance this year, I plan on doing ROTC at another college and applying again for class of 2015.</p>
<p>Also, a question to clarify the nominations aspect of the admissions process: My dad attended West Point and served in the Army Medical Service Corps. for 26 years. He retired as a colonel. So, I know I can apply for a service related nomination, but should I also apply for the congressional nominations? If I don't get any congressional noms, will the service nom still have me in the running?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
