United States Military Academy?
So I am a Junior in High School and am interested in applying to one of the major military academy. I've been focusing more towards the United States Air Force Academy. I am really stressed, with all these requirements. I am applying to the 2012 Summer Seminar, but I did pretty bad on my SAT, what do you guys recommend? Please no rude comments.

2. American Red Cross on Ft. Lewis (I do this only over the summer because I have almost no time during school. Plus, Ft. Lewis is almost 20 miles away so it's hard for me to drive there everyday.
Leadership Role:
I am the group leader for one of the five groups in Milal. (I watch over the other volunteers and make sure they are doing what they should be).

I recommend that you apply. Your in pretty good shape judging by this info. Leadership and your GPA are really important in the selection process and those are fine. But so are SAT scores so work on those.. Try it and if you don't make it go AFROTC. Good luck!
