<p>Hey guys. I just want some opinions on my chances of getting into a service academy. West Point is my first choice, but I will also be applying to the Naval Academy. Please feel free to criticize.</p>
<ol>
<li>I'm Asian, more specifically Chinese.</li>
<li>I have studied Chinese for 6+ years. I can speak Chinese very well, and my reading and writing skills are decent. I have studied Spanish for 4 years. I can speak Spanish relatively comfortably. I went on a mission trip this past summer and was able to communicate with the natives. Reading and writing still need lots of improvement.</li>
<li>GPA: 3.73 cumulative, still have one quarter of school to improve a little.</li>
<li>SAT score: 1910 (640 CR, 560 M, 710 W), taking it again in October.</li>
<li>ACT score : 25 . Yeah, I didn't really study for it, and it was right after the SAT. I will be taking it again in September.</li>
<li>4 year member of the band and orchestra.</li>
<li>Football (2 years) Wrestling (2 years and continuing). I'm thinking about taking up rugby this coming fall.</li>
<li>Treasurer of my school's social justice club.</li>
<li>NHS member 3 years.</li>
<li>Honor roll every semester since freshman year.</li>
<li>Church pianist for 6 years.</li>
<li>Leader in my church's youth ministry.</li>
<li>Volunteered during the summer (freshman - sophomore) at my local hospital.</li>
<li>Worked at MD Anderson Cancer Center (summer researcher, hematopathology department) this past summer.
I think there's more, but I hope this gives you a decent picture of who I am.</li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks!!!</p>
