<p>Hello, and happy 4th! </p>

<p>I wanted to ask all of you for your opinion on something. It has been my dream to attend West Point since i was young. I was set on applying and i tried my hardest in school and in sports. about a year and a half ago I applied to the Alabama School of Math and Science and was one of the few in my state accepted. At ASMS I am able to practically "finish" high school at the end of my sophomore year. I am about to start my Junior year in August. Last year I didn't do all that well, the classes were conducted on the college level within the timeframe of 9 weeks, known as a trimester. I finished three trimesters last year. I received grades of B's and C's. I understand that this is unacceptable and I have every intention of going back and achieving straight A's. It is not uncommon for students to receive those grades their first year and most go back to receiving A's or A's and B's once again their Junior and Senior years. My question is whether or not this will severely impact my chances of getting accepted into West point?</p>

<p>I have taken the Act twice now and received a 25 the first time and a 27 the second.
I had a 3.8 GPA before last year and i am unaware of what I have at this moment.
My school does not rank.</p>

<p>Thank you for your time reading and responding to my question.</p>

<p>My goal is to be able to attend West Point as well! Your ACT scores and GPA would probably help you a bit, you also have to be in great shape to attend it as well because you have to take a test for it and meet the standards. They also look for your whole self, is who you are acceptable for West Point. They look at you as a person in whole. That is something to be thinking about as well. There is alot to take in for West Point but it is always good to give it a shot! Good Luck!</p>
