<p>I was just wondering, being a boston native, what my chances would be at a few of the following schools. My first choices are military academies but i do not know how much anyone can help me in that department.
- West point
- United States Air Force Academy
-Southern Methodist
- Texas Christian
- Clemson
- Emory
-Georgetown
- Vanderbilt
- NC state
- UNC- chapel hill
- William and Mary
- any other options you all think i may like. </p>
<p>heres my stats:
GPA- 3.3 UW, 3.8 W... havent heard exactly yet but possibly top ten percent.. if not then definately top 15 at a fairly competitive school in a suburb of boston.
- 4 AP classes and all honors... about as rigorious a courseload as my schedule could accomodate.
SAT- 2080 700 CR 690M 690W
ACT- 32</p>
<p>ECs
- varsity tennis letter winner 4 years and captain 1... along with a few other individual tennis awards
- varsity golf letter winner 3 years
- varsity indoor track 4 years.... 2 year letter winner
- elected Class treasurer 2 years
- National honor society member and treasurer
- tutor son and daughter of fallen state trooper once a week for about a year
- multiple service projects with a local elementary school including a a few endorsed by the American Heart association.
-selected out of a highly competitive applicant pool to attend, and will attend the United States Air force academy Summer seminar.
- Work part-time as a CVS pharmacy clerk for the past year.</p>
<p>Not sure about the military schools, but i think that Vanderbilt, Emory and Georgetown are slight reaches, Chapel hill is a high match, and the rest are matches. Good luck.</p>
<p>You have really good ECs, some leadership, a very good SAT, but kind of a low UW and W GPA for most of the schools you have listed. Also, I presume you are aware that you need a recommendation from a member of Congress to be accepted to a military academy? So contact your local Congressman and/or U.S. Senator if you are seriously interested in attending one of these.</p>
<p>US Military Academy (West point)--Slight Reach to Reach
United States Air Force Academy--Reach
Southern Methodist--Match
Texas Christian--Match
Clemson--Match to Slight Reach
Emory--Slight Reach
Georgetown--Reach
Vanderbilt--Giant Reach
NC state--Match to Slight Reach
UNC- chapel hill--Reach
William and Mary--Reach</p>
<p>I would also consider the University of Georgia, Auburn (they have a great flight training program), Norwich (in Massachusetts), University of Richmond (a slight reach), Embry-Riddle (Florida or Arizona campuses)--the best flight school besides the Air Force Academy, and maybe the College of Charleston. </p>
<p>My son's best friend is at Embry-Riddle in Arizona and loves it. He's flying every week and after his first year of college, he already took his parents up for a flight when he got home last week. He's in the AFROTC at the school--and so gets a scholarship towards his costs in exchange for flying for the Air Force after graduation.</p>
