You have a great profile. I'll make a couple suggestions - please keep in mind that "early" is best.

1) Plan to retake both the ACT and SAT next time they are offered. You have the rest of the summer to prep and that should help you to boost your scores.
2) Begin to prep for the CFA. Each individual component could be considered simple enough. But when you do them back-to-back and include the kneeling basketball throw, it can be challenging. Take it as early as possible.
3) As soon as the application materials are available, begin completing them. I understand quite a bit more is on-line right now, so that might make it easier.
4) Check the websites of your members of Congress so that you know how to apply for a nomination. Get it done right away. Ask teachers for recs over the summer if at all possible. They'll be very busy completing them in the fall for your classmates and will appreciate the heads-up.
5) As soon as you receive the request to schedule your DoDMERB exam, get it scheduled. This is often the most time consuming part of the application process and you want as much time as possible to clear.
6) Get in touch with your MALO. It can help to have somebody who knows you.

Good luck!! Keep us posted.
