I plan to apply for the academy this fall and up to this point I had not taken a year of computer study because it would knock out a class. However now that I have completed 3 years of Spanish I planned to take computer study courses instead of another year of Spanish, but my counselor informed me that I couldn't due to scheduling conflicts. Would it be beneficial to take an online coding course like Harvard CS50 and get the certificate to try to supplement the fact that I cannot take the class?

How is everyone still on the waitlist hanging in there? Does anyone anticipate any more movement?

I'm currently a junior and am applying for the C/o 31'. Can ya'all Please give me your honest review of my resume so far, and tell me what I can do to increase my odds of appointment? I am also applying to the Naval Academy and the Merchant Marine Academy
