<p>hi i am new to this site , i have been reading it for quite a while now. i have been dreaming to go to west point since as long as i can remember. I live about 45 minutes from westpoint. I am a sophmore in high school ( Don Bosco Prep) i am not in any honors classes this yera bu thave been told that i will be in at leat two next year. I have about a 92 overall average. i am very involved in school, i am on teh soccer team and baseball team , debate team, member of the criminal justice and law society, member of the paintball club and am in the process of forming the jrotc program at my school. West Point means everythign to me and i am determined to make it theri soome how.
I am there at leadt once a month my father is a photographer adn he shoots the graduation and the ring dance adn many other important things that go on at westpoint. </p>
<p>I would greatly appretiate any comments about waht i need to do that will give me a great chance to go to west point.</p>
<p>take the PSAT, and as many practice SAT exams as you can. I wouldn't bother paying the several hundred dollars for a class, but you should take a look at the collegeboard's blue SAT prep book, its supposed to be the best.</p>
<p>I don't mean to be a real a****le here, ranger-hooah, but please spell check some of your post. I can live with it, but I have a feeling people will take you a lot more seriously if they can read your thoughts more clearly. I stared at your title for a while trying to figure out what JSUT stood for.</p>
<p>PS- I just looked in the mirror and realized how much I resemble my English teacher! AHHHHHHH!</p>
<p>I'm Vice President of a community service club, president/founder of a computer club, member of California Scholarship Federation (same as National Honor Society, join whichever you can, being just a member is fine), member of the math club (no such thing as leadership positions in this, but i have the highest math contest total for AP Calc AB students at my school, so i put that) and I tutor ~3rd graders on tues/thurs. I played soccer for a year, badminton for a year, and will have been doing muay thai (kickboxing) for a year.</p>
<p>I went back and spell-checked this post just for you, envee.</p>
<p>My son always dreamed of attending the USMA and last week his dreams came true - he received an appointment. I think being a member of the Civial Air Patrol really helped. He was promoted to officer, received the Mitchell Award and holds the position of Cadet Cammmander for his squadron. He didn't start until his freshman year in HS, so it's not too late. I see you're from northern NJ and there are several squadrons you could join (one at Picatinny, one at Teterboro and there may be others).</p>
<p>yes there is a cival air patrol squadron by me , but my school is also in the process of forming a jrotc program which hopefully will pull through , we are still waiting for a phone call back from Fort Dixs. it is goging to be hard becasue my school has about 650 people and inorder to have a jrotc program 10% of the school population has to join , another problem is that we are a private school.</p>
