Hello, my names Cody and I’m currently a junior in high school on track to graduate in 2017. I was wondering what my chances are of appointment into the USNA, I am applying in the next week or two for the NASS. What are my chances? Am I on track?

Next semester I have:

The predicament I face is that most of the classes they look at for NASS is next semester for me. Will this effect my chances?
Sports:
From 7th-8th grade I played High School JV Soccer.
From 9-11th (currently) I am on the Varsity team, and I have lettered a swell.
In 8th grade I dont know if this will matter, or if it will since it was a high school sport, I won a sportsmanship award from the governing body for high school sports in MA (MIAA).
I don’t know if this will matter but with my team I’ve been a part of a league championship, 2 district championships(WMASS), and a state championship. (MA)
I might run Track and Field this spring too.
Co-Curricular:
This is a section I am currently working on because I know this has to be strengthened.
Community Service:
I help train little kids in a soccer clinic. (Instructional Soccer).
I help volunteer at a thing called the Street Store (its ran by my mothers friend.) , its basically a store of free clothes, shoes, hygienic supplies, and misc. All for the homeless and less fortunate.
School Co-Curricular:
Provisional member of the National Honors Society.
I am currently trying to get more involved by joining some clubs, and I intend to run for a position in the student government, or student council.
Oh and something that has been scaring me is that I have Asthma, its not really affecting me today like when i was diagnosed when I was young. Does the academies do waiver? If so can you do the Methacholine Challenge Test?\
