<p>Yes. One more thing. Don’t get arrested. Seriously. From this point forward, avoid situations that a typical high school student may get into. Avoid parties where alcohol is being served. Don’t get caught texting while driving. Don’t get expelled or suspended from school. Don’t get caught with drugs. Don’t get into a fight at school. The term used by the Service Academies is “bubble wrap”. Wrap yourself in it. Avoid serious sports injury and avoid anything that will go on your personal record. Part of the WP application process involves extensive background checks. Every year, there are a number of candidates with perfect academic, athletic, leadership resumes, who get DQ’d because they have some disciplinary or criminal record. Once it’s on your record, your chances end.</p>
<p>PS - Just noted your “Attended SLS” bullet – I assume you mean you *plan *to attend this coming summer, right? Has to be or you’d be a senior now, in which case it’s too late to apply to WP. If you are doing SLS this summer, make sure to train for the CFA. It will be administered to you at SLS.</p>
<p>What year in h.s. are you? Some of your resume sounds like you are currently a senior and if you haven’t yet started the admissions process, you are too late for the current class. </p>
<p>Honestly, no one on here can read you brief resume and evaluate your ‘chances’ for admission. The application process is about more then grades. For example, there are interviews when applying to your MOC for a NOM and we can’t possibly evaluate how you will do there. We also won’t get to see the recommendations provided by your teachers which also have a bearing on admissions.</p>
