Hey everyone,

I am currently a junior, attending a public high school in Southern California. I have asked this question several times in this forum, however, I haven’t really received a good “chance”. So here I am, asking once again to chance me for West Point Class of 2021.

Location: California

GPA: 4.0/4.0 Unweighted & 4.58/5.0 Weighted

Course load (junior): AP English Comp, AP Physics B, AP US History, AP Computer Science 1, H Trig/Pre-Calc, Spanish 4
Course load (senior, projected): AP English Lit, AP Econ/Gov, AP Calculus BC, H Physiology, Art, Visual Communications

ECs;

This is basically it; please give your most candid “chance”. Thanks!! :slight_smile:

Hi @clichescreenname!

I know it’s been a year since you posted and you’re well into your senior year by now, but from what I can see, you would be a good candidate for West Point. You have the scores, which you can improve, and you have the extracurriculars. You’re definitely on the right track.

Hopefully you’ve managed to take a few more academic assessments including the SAT, SATII, and AP tests, and have done well in them. On top of all of this, make sure you are demonstrating leadership in debate and interact club. Be committed to what you do and if you do achieve Eagle scout and you did go to Boy’s state, then you have pretty much maxed your leadership requirement for the application. Just work on your CFA and get those scores as high as you can.

If you are still interested in West Point and have any more questions related to where you currently are in the application process or if you want to know about life here in general, let me know and I’ll make sure to answer :slight_smile:
