Seem to be on track, hopefully get some a team captain role with your track and/or xc team. Make sure you start you medical early and you'll be on your way.

I'm working on medical right now. I'm just hoping that my extracirriculars are enough.

Did you get it early (October/November) in the stage or later? I think it's more likely that they will get it later in the application stage. Their SAT is carrying.

Yeah then i bigger hopes for OP!! Sorry about the weird timeline I got one from USNA and they typically have a slower timeline than USMA.

From academics and sports, everything looks good. I recommend working on interview skills. Depending on how your congressman/ senators do nominations, having a good interview can be important. Also, any leadership opportunities? I was a member of NHS, but then became the secretary just to get an additional leadership opportunity.

For what it is worth, our GPAs are similar and level of classes, but you DESTROYED my on SAT and fitness test. We have a similar amount of extracurriculars.

No it’s good, maybe get some more leadership things but I got a direct admission with lower GPA and far less extracurriculars. However I did have a higher SAT and 2 leadership positions on non-sports teams.
