Do I have a good chance at getting into Westpoint or any other military colleges?
|
Im a junior in high school right now w/ a 4.0+ wgpa taking all the hardest classes i can take (ap physics, honors trig, ap literature, ap history, etc.). But my non wgpa is only like approx. 3.5 ish. Im in great physical shape. I scored an A++ on an athletic physical evaluation scoring the highest on my wrestling team ^^. I set records for pushups, pullups, and mile run on my wrestling team, as well. I've been wrestling two years. Last year i wrestled varsity and qualified for state, i also recieved most improved on the team. I ran a lil bit on the cross country team, though not officially for the team, and i had a approx. 5:30 min mile if i try really hard. I weigh about 105 lbs and can bench about 200 (225 on a good day). I dont really do any clubs and dont have many community service ours under my belt, but i plan on doing some this summer and also plan on getting a job. My SAT score was only 1740 but i plan on retaking it as much as i can, aiming to get 2200. I haven't taken the ACT but i scored a 30 on a practice one and plan on getting around that score on an official one. My junior year i kind of messed up and fell into some bad habits because of some hard times i was having at home. My grades began dropping and my rank in the class went from 3 to 9 to 11 to ?. I also quit wrestling... But now i have my act together again and am going to take all ap classes my senior year and maybe wrestle again, i have a good chance of placing at state, maybe winning. I am worried that the mistakes i made my junior year will ruin my chances. So if i continue to bust my butt will i have a good chance of getting in? Oh, also (i dont know if it will help or anything) but i come from a semi-underpriveliged family and am adopted. Im also Korean, if that helps with anything. I really want to get into a military college to make my parents proud.
Thank You
and sorry its so long =)

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Each candidate must:
be 17 but not yet 23 years of age by July 1 of year admitted. (The increase in maximum age is a result of a recent change to Title X, U.S. Code.)
be a U.S. citizen at time of enrollment (exception: foreign students nominated by agreement between U.S. and another country).
be unmarried.
not be pregnant or have a legal obligation to support a child or children
ACADEMIC QUALIFICATIONS
Each candidate should have:
an above-average high school or college academic record.
strong performance on the standardized American College Testing (ACT) Assessment Program Exam or the SAT Reasoning Test.
West Point uses the results of your ACT/SAT, high school class rank, and the recommendations of your faculty to determine your academic qualification. Consideration is also given to the types of courses taken and the percentage of students from your school who attend four-year colleges after high school, as reported by the Educational Testing Service (ETS).
West Point encourages a strong college preparatory academic background as a prerequisite for admission. Recommended areas of preparation are: four years of English with emphasis on composition, grammar, literature, speech; four years of math, algebra, plane geometry, intermediate algebra, trigonometry; two years of a foreign language; two years of laboratory science such as chemistry and physics and one year of U.S. history. Additionally, you will find courses in geography, government and economics to be very helpful. College courses taken prior to entrance to West Point may be substituted for similar courses in the Military Academy curriculum.
MEDICAL QUALIFICATIONS
Candidates must:
be in good physical and mental health.
Pass a Medical Exam
PHYSICAL QUALIFICATIONS
Each candidate should have:
above-average strength, endurance and agility.
adequate performance on USMA Physical Aptitude Exam
LEADERSHIP QUALIFICATIONS
You should strive to develop the personal traits that will allow you to be an effective leader in school, church and community activities. Participation in secondary school extracurricular activities, both athletic and non-athletic, and the attainment of responsible positions in those activities, provide valuable leadership experience. You should try to make significant contributions in leadership positions on athletic teams, in club and class activities, and in church, scout, civic and community activities. Working to provide family financial support may limit participation in extracurricular activities at school. If so, that should be noted in your application. |

"I really want to get into a military college to make my parents proud."
if you're going to join anything in the military, do it for you, not for your parents.
sounds like you have a good shot, though. |
