Acception into USNA

I posted on this forum before but I wanted to update and ask the people where accepted to academy what your high school academics were like. Next year I plan to take Honors classes, I have a 3.7 GPA going into my junior year and am playing varsity football. Do you think I am on right tract and if not what should I do to correct? Please respond.
 
Col Angus stole my post.

I think that FutureNavy84 from Ohio should probably just directly apply to the "astro-not" program.

Why would you think he's being an ass? He actually asked a reasonably PC question instead of calling the guy an idiot, which is always the wise thing to do when challenging someone's grammar on a message board. My first question after reading the OP was how he managed a 3.7 while using that horrible grammar. Either he's not native, he's lying about the GPA, and/or he's at a strangely lenient school.
 
In the world of outrageous weighed GPA's what is the average GPA of acceptance for the USNA? I only ask because I think of the military academies as very prestigious (maybe even borderline Ivy) and the average freshman GPA at my average university is 4.125.
 
Lots of factors go into selection with academics. Just asking the average GPA doesn't really explain much. Even where you're from makes a difference. If you happened to be a Maryland resident, for example, using the word "acception" on your application probably wouldn't get you a nomination.

For some reason I find that VERY hard to believe, have any reference to this?

I know he's not being an ass. That's why I said "That thought crossed my mind as well." In some instances, this question can be insulting or derogatory. However,I understand that for some people, English is a secondary language. So, I think it's a completely valid question, one that might help account for his grammar.
 
I guess you could have over a 4.0 if your school weighted AP classes extra or something.

That's the case for the school district I attended. Certain classes (not just AP classes) were graded on a different scale.
 
^^ I thought most colleges instantly unweighted your grades to rack and stack you on a level playing field? Not in FL though?
