How far will being a minority help me for the Academy?

<p>Hey guys, I am an Indian Male junior. I am interested in doing my education via the air force and then doing medical school and my residency via the Force, and then serving the Force via my medical training. I have a couple of questions. Firstly, do i have a decent chance?</p>

<p>unweighted GPA 3.65
SAT: 2240 single sitting, 780 M, 740 R, 720 W
750 MATH II, 760 MATH I, 770 Physics, 750 Bio, going to take chem and lit in october, expecting 750 on both
Class treasurer for sr year
teach younger kids SAT stuff via summer class, free
at least 120 hours of community service
Boston regional brain bee 2nd place out of 50 plus students
Black Belt Karate</p>

<p>I understand that the weakest aspect of my application is most probably my GPA, but I think I can kill my Sr year, first sem.</p>

<p>I am indian, I do not know if that will help my chances because I do not think that the Air Force Academy has many of me.</p>

<p>My second question is, if I was to do undergrad air force, do my medical school somehere else, and then do my residency via the Air force, would that count as service? I am a litle confused on how doctors work with the Air Force training.</p>

<p>With your scores alone you have a decent chance. I think what the admissions people look for is how committed you are to USAFA. They want to make sure people who actually want to serve and be in the air force are the ones admitted because, unfortunately, some people get in and then drop out after one or two years because they just wanted the free education. Good luck to you, though. I think even without being a minority you have a good shot as long as you show that you are passionate about being a falcon</p>
