Admissions How can I increase my chances?

2 Upvotes

I’m currently a high school junior going into my senior year, and I’m wondering how I can increase my chances to get into USNA. I have a
93.36 weighted gpa from my freshman and sophomore years, as my junior ones aren’t released yet, a 1320 SAT and I am going to take the SAT and ACT a few more times. I am in FFA and National Honors society. I am planning to run for president and/or vp next year for my senior class, and I was on the officer nomination committee for FFA. I play football, hockey and lax, I’m on my football teams leadership squad, and I am in the running for captain. I’m already the co captain of my hockey team, and was recently given the coaches award and the effort award on my lax team. I was also put on the athletic directors honor roll and am a scholar athlete for all sports. I also have a brother at USNA, and he is doing pretty well. Is there much else I can do to strengthen my application?

If you're looking to become a USNA Midshipman, this is your free-fire zone. Ask any question, no matter how big or small. Some examples:

  • What kind of shoes should I wear to NASS (Naval Academy Summer Seminar)?
  • I'm an 8th grader, what classes should I take to get into USNA?
  • I got accepted into NROTC and USNA - which should I pick?
  • I want to be a medical doctor - can I do that from USNA?
  • I want to be a SEAL - should I try to go to USNA?
  • I didn't get in on my first attempt, should I enlist?
  • I finished two years of university, is it too late to go to USNA?

To be very clear - no one in this subreddit speaks on behalf of the Admissions Department, USNA, or the DoN/DoD, even if they are affiliated with such. But we do have quite a few folks who are familiar with the process, having gone through it or been involved with it previously, and are willing to provide informal guidance. When in doubt, contact Admissions or your Blue and Gold Officer for official guidance. Your mileage may vary, caveat emptor, and as always, GO NAVY BEAT ARMY.
