I am about to go to my senior year and have also decided to join the AFROTC in college. I am also considering to apply for a type-7 scholarship. However, I don't know if it is worth a shot because I don't even qualify for any of the 3 types. Below is my information:
Unweighted GPA: 3.46 (downwards trend sadly)
ACT: 27
Honors: Algebra 2 Honors, Geometry Honors
AP classes: AP Biology and AP Physics. Will be taking AP Government, AP, Literature, AP German, and AP Calculus AB next year.
Extracurricular: Varsity Swim and Dive, JV Water Polo, active NHS member, and officer in the political club.
I am currently looking towards to attending the University of Washington (Seattle).
What I am most worried about is my GPA and ACT score. I will be retaking the ACT the coming September and studying my butt off to get at least a 30 this time. However, my GPA is something I cannot change and it seems that the minimum for a type-7 (the lowest of the 3) is a 3.77. My GPA used to be a 3.7 in freshmen year but it has been going down ever since. This makes me regret taking honors and APs but nothing can change that now.
Should I still go for a type-7 or not even bother because I under qualify? I really need help deciding this. If I don't make it then plan B is to go enlisted.
