I will repeat: Due to the rubric the service academies use to determine appointments, it is impossible to chance anyone. You should look at the makeup of current classes at West Point (I have posted the link on several threads here, but you can just look up the stats on the WP website) and make sure you at least meet if not exceed those stats. Stay focused and put your best application forward. That’s all you or any candidate can do,

FWIW: Here is the link again:

Your first step is getting a nomination. USMA does not consider applications without a nomination, so familiarized yourself with this process. Also, you may want to peruse the wealth of applicant information on serviceacademyforums.com as that is the official site for academy applicants. No one there will chance you, though, for the reason I gave above. They will tell you to do your best academically, up your physical fitness game, and pursue leadership opportunities. You want to show quality over quantity on your application.
