Im your 1000th sub!

I'm a current HS sophomore and I want to get into the Naval Academy. I do band but I don't do any sports (though I am fit and workout regularly), does that significantly lower my chances? And if so, what would you recommend to compensate?

[@academyendeavors]

Yes, it would most likely lower your chances. We recommend getting involved in athletics, whether its a lower skill sport such as cross country or track, or even a non-school sport like martial arts. Athletic activities are scored separately from extracurricular activities, so having a low athletic activities score can lower your chances of an appointment. To take steps to compensate for these gaps, your leadership positions on non-athletic activities (student council, NHS, school clubs, robotics, etc) would need to be stronger than the average applicant, and the academics would also need to be stronger.
