Is there any more things I can do to increase my Chances towards West Point before I turn senior.Thank you
Also do you think I can get into West Point</p>
<p>"President of my church" – Not too bad for a junior in high school. Not sure what that means, but it sounds impressive! ;-)</p>
<p>Keep doing well, your scores seem very good. Don't worry about Freshman and Sophomore years. If you keep showing a strong improvement, that will weigh more. Yes, you could get into West Point.</p>
<p>Your SATs are really good, but your class rank is too low. try and bring that up.</p>

<p>This is confusing....are you ranked top 20% or top 1%?</p>
<p>Top 1 percent in Sat score's meaning i scored the highest in my school. But i am in top 20 percent in my school</p>
<p>You guys think i can get a nomination from my congressman or women cause I am Determined for West Point... Also is there anything else i should do to increase my chances to get in and get a loa</p>
<p>This is a recent class profile:
USMA</a> Admissions: More Info: Class Profile: 2008</p>
<p>I know I check it out but no gpa my sat scores are way above the admited students I just want to know will my application look stronger than others</p>
<p>Your resume is similar to mine and I'm in.
Youth Group president, student council/govt, lotta sports blah blah blah...
Only notable difference is that my class rank/gpa is much higher than yours but your SAT scores are a little higher than mine.
The best thing you can do right now is make sure you try and get close to a 4.0 this year and your 1st semester senior year.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>GPA is not listed as it is not considered in isolation. The classes you have taken and your class rank are weighed heavily - USMA wants to know how you have performed compared to others given the exact same opportunities.</p>
<p>Like you, my son had much better SAT scores than his grade point/class rank would have indicated. He is at West Point finishing his Yuk year. Having a high SAT score is a good thing and being a National Merit Finalist or Semi Finalist is a good thing, but the inevidable question to my son was something along the lines of "you appear to be an underperformer in high school, what happened?" You should be prepared to discuss what went wrong your freshman and sophomore year. You can point to the fact that your grades have trended up and that you have matured since you were a freshman. As far as your chances go for getting in to West Point, a lot will depend on the competition you will have from your home state/congressional district. Do you know how competitive your state and/or congressional district are? Do some research and find out. Talk with the folks at the Admissions Office at West Point and your local West Point representative. Try to get those folks on "your team." Also, make sure you take strong courses your senior year...don't retire. Remember there is a distinct possibility that West Point will see your senior year first semester grades before they make a decision. Good luck.</p>
<p>im in ny state u think it;ll be hard for new york state
for nomination</p>
<p>It will depend on which Congressional District you live in. I would contact the office of your member of Congress and ask to speak to the person responsible for academy appointments. Be businesslike and inquire about the number of cadets the MOC currently has at West Point, what procedure the MOC uses in making appointments and historically how many kids compete for an appointment to West Point. Use your charm and make that person one of your friends...it will help you as you go through the process.</p>
<p>Honestly, I think you'll be fine. I think the admissions committee just want to make sure you and handle the rough academics here. As shown by your application, I personally believe you could, you just had a little bump in the beginning of your H.S. career.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
