Your SAT is on the lower side of west point acceptances, so without any hooks, it will be very difficult to get in. Impossible to chance unless I know your course rigor or if you’re a URM.

It is impossible to chance even if you have every detail and know the applicant intimately. Only the academies know the current competition and what they are looking for to round out the incoming class. Nothing anyone guesses here will be helpful to you. Submit your best application and wait for decisions. It’s all you can do.
