tridude,

Your sports are great. And you realize that you need higher scores on the SAT. If this is something you have wanted for so long, spend the rest of the summer prepping for the exam. Take the ACT also. Then take them again.

And make sure that you excel in those AP classes. It’s a tough academic schedule, made all the more difficult by participating in 2 varsity sports seasons, but it really is critical. The academics are the most important part of your application.

Finally, you may be the only student seeking a nomination from your congressman today, but there may well be others as time goes on. And even if you receive the nomination, you need to insure that you are the most competitive on his slate. Please read juniormom’s story about her son. He has an incredible profile and did not receive an appointment. Make sure you apply for nominations from every possible source. The nomination is only 1 step in the application process.

Best of luck to you and let us know how things turn out.
