<p>I am a junior in high school and for 3 years now i strongly consider doing everything in my power to get accepted into the greatest military academy in the world. Overall, i am a 3.8 GPA student and in the SATs, which i haven't taken yet; in 1-10 grading scale, i should get 8.5 in math and some 7.5 in the rest.
I am trilingual, i know how to speak English, Russian, Armenian, and i am learning Spanish now as the fourth language. In my sophmore year, i successfully found the only Geopolitics Club in our district and am the president of the club for 2 years now. Also, i am a PAC (Principal's Advisory Council) Leader, where i lead and give advice to the incoming freshmen. Aside from my club, i am in the Scholastic Bowl team, Bike Club, Engineering Club and i didn't just sign up in these, i am really into them. I am a member of th CSF (California Scholarship Federation) for 4 semesters now. In the past couple of years, i volunteered more than 100 hours altogether in a school and library. In my lifetime, outside of school i've gone to many sports: swimming, karate, soccer, and tennis. This summer, i go to a gym every day to physically fit. I am interested in chess, physics and military strategy, i take some 3-4 hours a day on these at least.
At school, people know me as a good leader, but also strict. They don't look at me from the academic and physical point of view. They look at me as "whole" person and different from the rest, most of whom talk about games all the time.</p>
<p>Maybe I missed it, but you are going to get a congressman’s/congresswoman’s recommendation, right?
“admission to west point is by Congressional appointment. write to your congressman and they will send you the requirements for your state. it a bit different for each state.”</p>
<p>Yeah, i know that and i contacted my congressmen’s office many times. But are these satisfactory requirements? And how much are my chances? I need a fair and balanced answer.</p>
<p>Basic question #1: what is your compelling reason to become an officer in the US Army? Unless you can clarify this (for yourself), you’ll be up for an uphill road. On the surface, many things seem in order. But you need to answer the question before moving along much further. </p>
<p>BTW: there’s also a USMA forum too.</p>
