West Point Admissions

<p>I am currently a junior in high school in California. First off, I want to know some of the extra curriculars, athletics, weighted gpa, and sat scores of people that were accepted to west point.</p>

<p>I have already passed the physical fitness test on my own and i have basically secured an congressional recommendation.</p>

<p>I have mostly B's with some A's in ap and normal courses. My weighted gpa is around 4.0. I took the sat my sophmore year and got a 1750 on it without classes or practice tests. I'm hoping to get 2000 or more this year. I'm in the top 20 percent of my class also.</p>

<p>I expect to be team captain of my schools varsity soccer team in my senior year and captain of my club team as well. Im a apart of the model U.N. club at my school. I play do other sports outside of school such as mma and skiing. </p>

<p>Im just curious as to what are my chances of getting in and I also want to know what other people got in with.
Thanks</p>

<p>Just found this: [United</a> States Military Academy at West Point](<a href=“http://www.usma.edu/class/2009/profile.asp]United”>http://www.usma.edu/class/2009/profile.asp)
Admissions standards can be lower for recruited athletes (are you DI soccer material?). If you haven’t looked into this yet, you should contact the soccer coach at West Point</p>

<p>It’s really hard to give chances for service academies. With the whole-person look they take, there is a lot of play between people’s differing strengths and weaknesses. </p>

<p>GPA averages are usually in the high 3 point-somethings.
Most accepted candidates played varsity sports, had leadership in some extracurriculars. </p>

<p>From what you posted, your SAT seems a bit on the low side. Your athletics looks pretty solid. </p>

<p>“Basically securing” congressional nomination doesn’t sound definite enough to me. Make sure you stay on top of your nomination applications. That is a go/no-go item. If you don’t end up with at least one nomination, you won’t be a cadet (per federal law).</p>
