I am currently going into my senior year in high school and it is an understatement to say that there is nothing more I would like to do than to attend the United States Naval Academy. The problem is, my grades are far from spectacular. I just barely have a 3.0. My SAT scores are okay as I have a 1220, but they could be better. My only saving grace is that I am a leader on my high school football team and am involved in Civil Air Patrol. I just recently got a letter back from the academy saying that I wasn't competitive and am not worthy of candidacy, unless I raise my grades and SAT and ACT scores. What I'm wondering is, am I too far gone to be accepted or should I do what I plan on doing which is to raise my grades and scores and apply again within a couple of months?
