Hello, I am in 10th grade and was wondering if you could tell me what my chances are of getting into USMA.

I go to a Governor’s School for Government and International Studies, which is highly competitive and very selective. Although the school does not rank, I would say that I am at least in the top 15% out of a class of about 150. My unweighted GPA right now is at about a 3.7. I am taking one AP this year, but I will be taking 3 next year and 4 senior year. I am the class president, as well as an officer in latin club. I have swam on a competitive swim team and plan on doing cross country for the next two years. I plan on getting about a 2000 on the SAT. I am in the National Honor Society as well as the National German Honor Society. When I graduate, I will have a total of 32 credits, including 4 years of German and 2 years of latin. I will have taken BC Calc, Chemistry, and Physics. Also at the time of my graduation in two years, I will have completed more than 150 hours of community service since 9th grade. Once or twice a month, I am the head of the powerpoint operation at my church during the morning services. I am an Eagle Scout in my troop and also currently the Senior Patrol Leader. I also am in the Order of the Arrow in Scouting. I have had a job as a lifeguard for two years, and I am planning to become Manager at my pool the next year. I am also an active member in my Jazz Band, and we have played at our Governor’s Inaugural Concert and other places. Regarding the fitness tests, I think I will do about 6 pull-ups, 55 push-ups, 70 situps, 6:45 mile, and a 65 foot basketball throw.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.
