Suggestions on helping my odds?

I am currently on hold. Everything is in and passed.

I have dropped a class at hs to take Metallurgy at a local college for AP credit (hope this will look good). End of JR yr ranked top 24% (attend competitive Blue Ribbon School). GPA 4.0 weighted, SAT math 620, reading 510 (not as good as I had hoped). Grades this year three A’s(AP Phyco., AP English, ROTC), and a B(AP calculus) so far. Physical fitness test great. Full resume-many leadership qualities, speaking engagements and a couple PT jobs.

Now for the questions…I have a good family friend with ranking of LTC who has written me a very impressive letter of recommendation. I had not sent it through my nomination since he does not live in my district at this time. Would it be wise to copy this to admissions? I have also been accepted to a very competitive state University Engineering and Aeronautical program. Some have said I should advise admissions of this. Honestly that seems a little forward to me. I am not in one of the top 5 states attending the academy but my state probable ranks 8th or 9th so I am not sure how competitive it will be this year. Does anyone out there have any advice for me?

I have been keeping in touch with admissions and sent them my current grades.

I have been working hard for this for the past three years and I am not ready to stop yet!
