Freshmen, stay focused on your grades.

We can't tell you how many applicants don't have qualifying GPA because they messed around freshman year.

As soon as you enter HS, A's matter.

An Academy-competitive transcript has mostly A's, 4-6 B's at most, 1 C at most, and is comprised of mostly AP/Honors classes.

You screw yourself when you don't take grades seriously.

Here's a red-carpet opportunity to explain your top strengths.

Here's a few tips:
- Choose 2-3 attributes about yourself, no more than that.
- Align your attributes with characteristics that the Academies value.
- Give brief supporting examples for each attribute.

Most people forget the last point, so it just sounds like a brag. Examples make the attributes come alive.

Academy Endeavors provides tips on every Service Academy essay question...

USAFA #2 essay question: Describe a leadership experience that has meaning for you. A leadership role can mean more than just a title. It can mean being a mentor to others, acting as the person in charge of a specific task, or taking the lead role in organizing an event or project. Think about what you accomplished and what you learned from the experience. What were your responsibilities? (500 words max)

AE Guidance: Choose a STAR story that is...
1) personal - reveals qualities about yourself that is attractive to admissions,
2) peer-led - you had responsibility over peers for a significant amount of time, and
3) compelling result - we want to end on a high note!

Read USAFA essay 1, and don't duplicate anything. We want to add new value here.

Start with an intro paragraph that lays out the situation or setting, so that the reader has context to the story. Extra points if you use a good hook.

In the body paragraphs, explain what you did to solve the problem or overcome the setback. Provide clear action steps to what YOU did.

Lastly, end with the impressive result and what you learned from the experience.

Being early is great. Being early and confident in the work you submitted? Even better.
Our clients aren’t just getting their applications done months ahead of deadlines—they’re taking the time to revise, practice, get feedback, and do it right.

You can absolutely do this process on your own. But when the stakes are this high, it’s worth asking: What happens if you make a mistake?

There's no better way to self-assess than making a resume. And it doesn't have to be complicated.

Put your accomplishment on paper.

Categorize them into:
1) academics
2) athletics
3) non-athletics
4) work/volunteer
5) awards/other

Write a brief sub-bullet under each that explains what you did.

Once it's on paper, you can see your strengths & weaknesses.
