I am currently a senior in high school and the USAFA is one of my two dream schools (partnered with MIT). Due to complications beyond my control, My high school GPA and SAT/ACT scores are not near as good as typical applicants to the USAFA have. It is because of this fact that I plan to enlist for two years and apply through the LEAD program (it should be good for me to get a break from school and get into shape). I have heard many different things about this program so I would like to hear from people who have been through it. My GPA is about 3.2, Rank is about 50%, and SAT is about 1700. I know that they are incredibly low but I plan to get at least a 2000 for SAT. I am also taking really hard classes like AP Japanese, AP Spanish, AP calculus AB, AP Chemistry, and AP Literature. I am not asking for a chance thread, just to get some advice on my best course of action at this point in time. Thanks for your time and effort in this matter.
