Competitive Applicant for Naval Academy?

Chance Me / Match Me
1

I’m a sophomore in High School. I have a 4.0 gpa, ranked first in my class. I scored a 1150 on the PSAT this past year, I plan on taking the SAT in March. My school doesn’t offer any advanced courses, but I plan to take dual credit over the summer and take more advanced classes (mostly in science and math). I already have 2 years of Spanish, but I’m planning to take 2 more years of a language (Russian).

I participate in Varsity Volleyball, V Basketball (Academic All-District in both for past 2 years), Track and Field (Regional Qualifier for Discus last year, plan to go to State this year.), Tennis and Golf.
I plan to get inducted to NHS in February. Our school is having elections for the first student government we’ve had in a while, and I plan to run for office. I initiated the FCA huddle at our school with my coach.

I also was the lights manager last year for One Act Play and received the All-Star Crew award (I plan to do sound this year). I am part of a Social Studies Team that went to State last year, and I went to Regionals for Literary Criticism. I’m also in yearbook. I plan to lifeguard at our city pool over this summer.

I’m mostly really worried about my community service. I volunteered to help with our school’s blood drive and I am a Vacation Bible School helper. I’m a confirmed Lutheran and participate in the Youth Group activities at my church. I did some group leading in classes at school, but I don’t think it’s enough to be competitive.
Any advice is appreciated, Thank you!

Keep up the good academics and work on getting a higher SAT score. Your varsity letters are good. The other thing you’ll want to focus on is your physical fitness tests. You can get in with lower scores if you excel at body weight exercises [timed pushups, sit ups, pull ups, 1.5 mile run]. But talk to your local Blue and Gold officer, they can tell you better than anyone on here.
