<p>As a Freshmen going on sophomore in high school, what would you recommend to start shaping to be a West Point candidate? I am only taking 1 honor next year and playing JV football currently, but our school has very competitive academics. I am currently in my church band, an officer in our ACC christian club and tutoring many kids on my own. I also attended a North Korean Political Debate in Washington DC over the summer.</p>
<p>I know it's not much and i really screwed up my freshmen year by getting straight b's, but i just recently got my eyes set on West Point, and will accept nothing less, so please give me some advice on how to become a competitive candidate.</p>
<p>Also how do i send applications to the congressmen and stuff because i heard it is really confusing. Does the Summer Leadership Program help at all?</p>
