Chances?

White male. I attend Phillips Academy Andover, which is in Andover Massachusetts.

I am currently a high school junior. I took the PSAT and got a score of 64 CR, 65 W, 64 M. This is low, as I plan on breaking 700 on each at the very least when I take the SAT later this month (not unreasonable, but may not happen the first time).

We don't have class rank, but I have a 5.0 on a 6.0 scale (equivalent to a 3.7 or so). Have takan difficult classes, including AP European History 10th grade year (only one of few students selected).

Activities As Follows:

Cross Country (Varsity): 10, 11, 12

Indoor Track (Varsity): 10, 11, 12

Crew (JV): 9, 10, possible varsity 11 and 12

Deacon at Church

Write for political magazine on campus and also editor of campus historical review.

Selected to travel to German for three weeks over summer

Community Service: ARC Program through school

Have already been accepted to West Point summer program and will also be applying to AIM and USNA program.

Will no class rank hurt me?

Not really. They'll figure it out. P-A is a very prestigious school as I don't have to tell you. They look at the whole picture and yours looks good.
