I am a junior from Detroit, Michigan. I was wondering if any body had some answers/advice for me and my quest to get into west point academy.
I have a 3.76 GPA, having aquired all A’s and A-‘s up to and including my first semester of Junior year.
I am attending the Summer Leadership Summit in the upcoming months at West Point.
I recieved a 30 on my ACT (31 math, 30 science, 29 english, 30 reading)
I play baseball,(just made varsity), and played football freshman, sophmore, and will play senior year.
I am a member of the National Honor Society and actively involved in my church and it’s various activities. i am also a member of a church small group.
I am wondering if anybody with knowledge of the school can help me by informing me of how good my chances are of getting in at this point. I understand this can be very opinionated but any help is much appreciated. Also any advice in activities/oppurtunities i should take hold of is very appreciated. IF you do somehow have an affiliation with the academy and/or were affiliated with it. please let me know. thank you!

How Does My West Point Resume Look So Far?

You are definitely on par with the other students currently there. 83% of students have over a 3.75 gpa and the act average is between 26 and 30 so you are on the upper end of the spectrum. I’m sure your in the top 50% of your class so there is no problem there. Your extracurriculars are great for any school. You’ll need to have taken 4 years of math, science and English and I’m sure jrotc would be nice. According to the collegeboard.com website these are also important to the school: Very important admission factors:
Character/Personal Qualities
