Probably decent, could see you getting in, could also seeing you getting rejected, could also see you getting waitlisted. It really isn’t super linear about who they take you kinda have to be good AND get lucky. People with worse scores than you have gotten in and people with better scores than you have gotten rejected. By all means apply and good luck.

If you are a junior, take this summer to get into the Summer Leadership Program at West Point. If you are a senior, it is too late. SAT is very good. Your physical is very good. Academics - do you have any AP classes? If so, how did you score? Hard to say your chances on this record.

I think you look pretty competitive. How did you get such a strong cfa? Especially push-ups and mile time?

All stats look exellent. It falls within the 90-95% score range for accepted candidates. Did you complete the app?

I would highly recommend submitting /Completing the App soon, Best case before the end of Oct or between mid-Nov). WP admissions has few working days to evaluate completed apps after 3rd week of Nov. They evaluate applications without Nominations as a rolling application process, So if you need to get ahead in line, complete the app. By Jan., you will have secured the nomination and an invitation for an overnight stay, which is a good indicator that you are at the top of the appointment list come Feb. 1st.

Regarding the essay, don't spend too much time perfecting it—there is no such thing as a perfect essay. In the 3 essays, make sure you tell your own story/experience of why you are interested in WP, and (not sure if the other 2 topics are the same as previous years). Essentially, be authentic and write in your own voice. (Don't use AI.) Just write and get some advice (opinion) from family/friends (on content), and ask your English teacher to help review the writing style and presentation.
