Anyone can boost their SAT score by a couple hundred points just by studying a prep book. I recommend either Princeton Review or Kaplan. The practice tests in the back are the key to improving your SAT score, especially for the math section. Get on it now and don't procrastinate. :)

Regarding leadership, that's all up to you. Looks like you have a pretty solid record already from your profile. I didn't have a spectacular leadership record (president of math club), but I think that going to SLS and showing the cadre what I was capable of helped the caliber of my application a lot.

Were you able to attend SLS?

At 4:22pm on August 6, 2007, Dave said…: Thanks bro. To answer your question about what I applied with...

- 2190 combined SAT score
- 4.0 GPA; graduated salutatorian
- Varsity football, boxing, karate
- Math club, scholastic scrimmage
- Attended Summer Leadership Seminar with good review by the cadet sergeant

I see that you have a solid resume on your "about me" snippet. Good luck and keep up the hard work throughout this year.

I'm hoping that a "social network" works out better than a forum. If you know others who are aspiring for the academies, let them know about this site. Peace.
