<p>Sounds as if your school is on a “semestering” system. It would clear up confusion for those outside the education world if you talk about “credits” rather than “semesters”.</p>
<p>i.e. “4 credits in English”;
4 credits in History–wait-- where is your fourth credit of Social studies, did I miss it?</p>
<p>Look online at the USNA candidate bulletin or admissions information bulletin, whatever it is called. Unless I am mistaken, they are looking for 4 credits in English, 4 credits in Social studies, minimum of 3 math credits, (prefer 4 including calculus), 3 lab sciences, (prefer 4, including chemistry), 2 of a foreign language, (prefer 3).</p>
<p>3 AP courses is a light load for USNA candidates, but if that is all your school offers, you should explain that, and perhaps consider taking the SAT II in the subjects that were “advanced honors” to demonstrate your proficiency.</p>
<p>Double check on the USNA preferred backgroud and compare yourself to it. You still have time to adjust your schedule to meet the preferences.</p>
<p>You seem a little light on the leadership. I don’t quite get how you can manage interning but not any athletics. Don’t you have the same transportation problem?</p>
<p>You sound like a really great student, but remember most of the candidates are also really great. They are your competition for appointment.</p>
<p>Good Luck in your endeavors,
