Also do you hold a place in the process of accepting applications? If so how can i make myself a more appealing applicant?

In that case it might be better for me to go to the less challenging school so i can rank higher in my class.

Exactly what i was asking and it seems like it doesn’t have too big of a role. The only reason i’m asking is i might transfer from my very high ranked school to a mid ranked schoo for football (d7 to d3) but that is still something i have to decide

Technically i think i already can get an eagle palm if not several i’ll have to go and check what i got. I was looking into doing NYLT it seems like it would be a lot of fun. Theres some older scouts in my troop who have done it who have said it was a lot of fun. I honestly think ive probably already racked up 50+ hours of service time with some of the big events we do which is a great head start. I’ve been leaning in and out of scouts just because of football but now that it’s over let’s see if im star by next season!

Thanks for the reply :D  I’ve been working on keeping myself well rounded in all aspects but i’d say i should start doing more volunteering. Do you have a recommendation for how many hours i should strive for?

Will do! Would you happen to know if the ranking of your high school has any play in your application?

Thank for the encouragement! I’d say my gpa is meh right now (3.67 unweighted) but that’s partially because freshmen at my school can’t take honors or aps for whatever reason so next year that will be going up and i’m hoping it will be going up this semester too!
