<p>Hi, i'm currently a junior at Hershey and its that time to start looking at colleges. There has always been one college that I have been looking at since 8th grade, USMA. I am definately going to apply and doing a college visit very soon, but I just want to see some other feed back if I have a chance at getting admission to the school, prep school, and also SLS. Currently my weighted GPA is a 3.7 and I have done cross country, indoor track (in season now), and outdoor track throughout my freshman, sophmore, and junior year. I am trying to take challenging courses such as AP US History (currently), Honors Civics, Honors english and pre-calculus. My counselor recommended me to do some community service, so I put in 30 hours at the Penn State Medical Center. I am also taking my ASVAP soon. In three weeks, I will be taking my SAT and soon after that the ACT. Since I am very interested in joining the military, I plan on applying to the USGCA and also USAFA, but West Point is my number one option for sure. If there is anything that I can do to increase my chances of being accepted into SLS, and also the school please leave me feedback. Thanks so much! </p>
<p>Definitely join some clubs and other extracurricular activities, and get leadership positions in them. I attended SLE this past summer and it was a great experience. I am currently a USMA candidate for the class of 2019 in the top 10% of the applicant pool and if you need any help or have questions feel free to message me!</p>
<p>I forgot to mention, I am currently in Spanish Club, SADD (sudents against destructive driving), and also fitness club. Unfortunately I am not a head leader of any of these clubs such as president, but I am highly active in them. Is there anything else I can do to increase my odds? One more question. I am taking my SAT January 21st and SLS opens early January. Would it still be ok if I applied just alittle behind the opening date for the SLS program? Thanks!</p>
<p>Yeah I applied to the West Point and Naval Academy seminars in February/March and was accepted for both!</p>
JPruneski8, I was just curious, but was your candidate profile categorized under some status that recognizes your placement in the top %10. I know there are admissible, competitive, etc., so I was wondering if you had a specific status that your field force officer had possibly mentioned to you. Thanks!
