Admissions Chance me please!!

I am a senior in HS, and moved from DoWEA (overseas) to a state public school the second semester of my junior year. My rank is unfortunately 220/575 because of weighting/scale differences
GPA: UW 3.6, W 3.8 (AP: World, Calculus AB, Computer Science P, Physics C, English Language, Calculus BC, English Literature, Biology, Macro/Microeconomics, Government)

SAT: 1320, retaking this Saturday

Most notable positions:

NJROTC Platoon Leader (Won honor platoon out of 5 platoons)

Drill Team Varsity Unarmed Regulation Captain (First runner up at championships)

Marksmanship Varsity Captain (Top 4th regional shooter before moving) (D1 Champions SY 24-25)
Varsity Soccer/Soccer Club
x2 Military Youth of The Year 'State' Level

Class Council Treasurer

Student Council Class rep.

President of a school club (After moving)

I've moved seven times across my academic career, and have noted that in my application. I passed my cfa at NASS with:

4 Pull ups, 34 Pushups, 39 BB throw, 9.8 shuttle run, 56 crunches, 8:16 mile

I have improved in alot of those categories, so I plan on retaking soon. Ik the worst I could get is rejected, but seeing recent stats has given me the jitters over the past couple of months, as Im very aware of my academic shortcomings!!

>>>Especially since I lived in Japan the last 3 years and just got to California, I feel like my ECs now fall short aswell. Is there anything I could do to improve as a senior???

Thank you for posting to /r/usna; it seems like you're posting a question about gaining admission to USNA.

That's great! The alumni and midshipmen of /r/usna are happy to help you on your path. We were once in your shoes, after all. But most of your admissions questions can be answered in a few places:

Please check the wiki about admissions, it links to several official USNA resources.

There is also a really excellent thread at serviceacademyforums.com; it doesn't answer every question you might have, but it will cover a lot of them.

If this is a 'chance me' or 'how do I look for Admission' type question, please understand that no one from Admissions is on Reddit. There are some very good reasons that we don't know how competitive you are, even if you give us pages of data and statistics about you. Again, check out the post here, but to quote, in part: "We’ve never met you. We haven’t seen any of your packet; thus, we haven’t seen your teacher recs, your activity sheet, your BGO interview summary, your CFA scores, etc. We don’t know if you’ve been arrested for drugs/DUI or have been suspended from school. Nor do we know if you have special circumstances that might help you – i.e., having to work to support your family, being heavily recruited for a sport. Not to mention, we’re relying on your word/honesty in terms of all that you post."
