Ok I'll give you a bit of information on my situation. I'm a U.S citizen currently residing in Ireland.
I'm the Irish equivalent of a Sophomore and have filled out a USNA request for information application (last February). Since then I've contacted them about not recieving any information about 4 times (by Email). They claim to get onto their mail department but I never recieve anything. Recently I emailed and recieved no response at all.
In Ireland we have no GPA system or extra credit we have two official examinations for high school students the Junior Certificate and the Leaving Certificate. I completed my Junior Cert last year and calculated the GPA from that on a 4.0 scale, I got a GPA of 3.67 and am an all honors student.
I'm just curious if I'm on the right track for USNA.
3.67 GPA
Crew on class 1 yachts.
Played club and school rugby for 4 years.
President of my school's Government and Law society.
Air Commodore (president) of my school's flying club.
Vice Chairman of my school's debating society.
Secretary (Vice-President) of the Student Council.
School ambassador to the European Youth Parliament.
Delegate on the Irish national model U.N's security council (two times in a row).
Distinguished Adjudicator (Judge) of the Cork Schools Junior Mace (debate competition).
Co-Chairman of the PBC Gold Medal Debate.
Chairman of the PBC intro debate 2011.
Finalist in the Davis Shield debating competition.
European youth parliament delegate.
Councillor in the Cork Comhairle na nóg (The Cork city youth city council)
Member of young Fine Gael (Center right Irish political party youth wing)
Member of the PBC Irish Guide Dogs for the fundraising committee.
I also plan to join the RNLI when I turn 17 (The RNLI is a bit like the USCG only purely responsible for SAR, it is a charity)
I'm wondering would it be a good idea to join the Irish Naval Service Reserve when I turn 17 as well. Please note the NSR is part time and are not obliged to go on deployments like the U.S reserves so there is no risk of me not being able to finish High School also there is no service time obligation.
