I am applying to West Point, am I qualified to get in?

Hey everyone, I'm from jersey and I am applying to West Point and it is my number one school, after that I am applying to Coast Guard, then Naval Academy, then Air Force Academy. My parents are immigrants and were not in US Army, My dad was conscripted into the Soviet Army which is what I wrote about in my essay and how him being forced to serve for a country who treated him horribly inspired me to serve my country that I am grateful for all the opportunities.

My second essay was about his stroke and how i faced adversity and struggled with financially supporting my family because he was the bread winner.

My stats are:

1480 SAT

94.38 QPA (I attend a Magnet school, so it is accelerated and rigorous like crazy)

I have taken 3 AP's but I am also taking 3 AP's currently (6 total APs)

I have a Senior Internship during school that takes up two classes if I wasn't taking that I would do more.

I am a captain of two club swimming teams and one high school swim team, I have four school records, two club records, a meet record, and I am a state quailfier, I was also recognized by my mayor for my athletic achievements.

I am a private swim instructor, lifeguard, and a volunteer coach.

My previous jobs were cashier and waiter.

I volunteered for 300+ hours a volunteer swim coach, food drives, youth police academy instructor.

I own a business for landscaping and snow removal.

CFA Results:

86 feet basketball throw

15 pullups

8.3 second shuttle run

83 situps

75 pushups

5.52 mile run

I am healthy, I have completed my dodmerb and it is being reviewed as we speak.

Do I go to Overnight Visit?

I got an invitation for an overnight visit a few weeks back, I am considering not going because I do not really have the time to go. Is that going to look bad? Should I try to go?

He really liked me and told me he will suggest me to West Point admissions, one hour later I got the LOA! Anyways, just really excited and I hope i get that nomination!

32 on ACT plus MMI athlete

What kind of chances with:

a composite score of 32 on ACT,
two years of tennis at Marion Military Institute (Ala.),
3.5 GPA at MMI and
hold leadership roles at Marion?

We are very hopeful about a Congressional nomination (AL5).

Thoughts?
