Please note: this forum is made up of parents, cadets, grads, and hopeful future cadets. None of us sit on the admission board (OK, there is one guy who does, but am keeping his identity secret!). That being said, your statistics look excellent. They are far better than many who are currently at the academy, and not as good as some who are there. The only issues I can see that might be in your path are 1) how competitive is your area for getting a nomination, and 2) do you have any disqualifying medical conditions? Good luck to you!! Let us know how you progress through the system.

This recent class profile should be helpful:
USMA Admissions: More Info: Class Profile: 2008

This link gives a good overview:
USMA Admissions: Start Young

Best advice is to try and make your file as competitive as you possibly can.

Good luck!
