Davidson is one of the colleges I'm highly interested in. I'll be a junior this year so I was wondering what I would have to do to increase my chances of being accepted. Besides Davidson, I have a high interest in attending West Point. I plan on applying for the summer seminar for both USMA and USAFA this winter which are held this summer as well as possibly getting an intership with a friend's mom who works in the US Army Engineer Corps.

Academics
My GPA through 4 semesters weighted is 4.958/5.3 in all honors classes (unweighted that's supposed to be about 3.74/4.0)
I'm taking all honors this year as well as AP's in Biology, Chemistry, and American History.
Ranked #3 in a class of around 350
Placed 2nd in science fair for high school as freshman.
PSAT I took last fall was around 195, I plan on taking both SAT's and ACT this year. Hope to do better on SAT's then I did on PSAT's. (will retake PSAT's as well)
Various school awards in science and history.

JrNHS (will qualify for NHS this year as my school doesnt admit into NHS until junior year)
Foreign Language NHS


Sports
In school
Soccer - 2 years, haven't lettered yet, will be getting my letter this year though and will be starting for team
Basketball - 2 years, most likely switching to track which I can letter in this year
Softball - 2 years, lettered in sophomore year

Outside of school, I have also been playing outdoor soccer in the spring at same time as softball, not for club but have qualified for county the last two years, states 3 years ago. During winter I also play futsal and indoor soccer.

Other
I have been helping out with youth soccer teams as my community service, this included actually coaching younger kids as there was no goalkeeping coach which I will be doing the next 2 years hopefully again.

I have plans for setting up a drive to send out aid packages to deployed servicemen in Iraq through my school.

Have been playing guitar for over 8 years. I play outside of school, both electric and accoustic although not in a band usually.

Will be able to get a job once I get my license. My mom is acting as a single parent since my parents divorced that due to this restraint, it has been unable to find the time for her (she works weekends) to be able to let me get a job as my weekends are spent helping at my grandma's.



Beyond that, if I could get advice. I realize I'm lacking in leadership and community service so if anyone has ideas in what I can do to help strengthen those areas would be awesome.
Thanks in advance

Well you're on the right track, for one because you are starting so early! You have some clear interests (like soccer) that you will have time to solidify on your resume. You seem like you are a pretty independent and mature person, which I think would be impressive qualities to them.
The music interest adds some well-roundedness, if you want to pursue that further you definitely should, but if you just don't like playing with other people or in a band, don't do it just for resume padding.
And since you're highly interested in Davidson, make sure they know it! It is never to early to start e-mailing them. Maybe talk to some people involved in Davidson ROTC or the soccer coach. If it is at all possible to visit, do it! They will remember you if you want them to.
