<p>I am aware that they accept transfer students but do not transfer in any credits. I just want to know if there is a checklist of what I should do in order. I am taking 15 credits at my community college right now (calculus 2, chemistry 2, US history 1945-present, Tae Kwon Do), have a 4.0 with several honors courses, am president of a club called STEM Discovery, member of the Colorado Space Grant funded by NASA, member of the student travel committee, and a member of a 2-year honor society called Phi Theta Kappa. Would you say this is competitive?</p>

<p>What I am working on right now is taking my standardized tests because I got my GED from South Korea and didn’t have the chance to take them prior. I am also studying to take the GED again in the US because of a recommendation to do that by a USAFA admissions counselor. As for sports, my community college doesn’t offer any, so I am taking physical education courses like yoga and Tae Kwon Do and also training by myself (push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups, mile runs, etc.). </p>

<p>Overall, does my preparation seem adequate? Should I take more credits to be more competitive? In what order do I do everything like apply for a congressional nomination, take the physical and medical test, take my standardized tests, meet with my ALO, etc. </p>

<p>Thank you so much for your guys’ time!</p>

<p>Academyadmissions.com should have a good overview of the process, but every MoC has a slightly different process and timeline. As for courses, the average four degree will take 5-6 courses per semester, not including PE.</p>

<p>Yes, go to serviceacademyforums.com You will find much more information there</p>

<p>I would strongly encourage you to discuss your concerns with a USAFA admissions counselor or your ALO, especially since you do not say you are a US citizen.</p>

<p>As for sports, just taking “fitness” type classes I would think might not be adequate. Find a sport you like and COMPETE in it. Fencing, martial arts, come to mind, but even marathon clubs might be a good thing to consider.</p>

<p>I don’t see anything that says “leadership” to me in the list you’ve given us, other than the club presidency, which may be meaningful, and may not. Part time work? Community leadership and service? </p>
