I may be wrong, but I think that your highest math and highest verbal are what counts in the score department. At least my daughter's school (U of Del.) looked at them that way. I guess that's to allow for "bad test days"
Your test scores are just one of the criteria looked at. High School grades and courses taken (AP, etc) and the reputation of your high school in getting students accepted to particular colleges also weigh heavily.
Extra-carricular activities are harder to judge and to give an opinion on.
If you have a burning desire to go somewhere, requesting an interview with a representative of the school couldn't hurt. It may put you over the top.
Good luck in your pursuits.
BTW: Are you still interested in the USMA?
