I really hate to beat a dead horse, and I know people are tired of seeing these. But this is killing me and i'm itching to hear other's opinions. My stats are listed below, please give opinions or helpful tips for a high school junior who is planning on ROTC

-Class rank: 30 of 311

MARCHING BAND
-class representative (9,10)
-90% club (9,10,11)

JOB EXPERIENCE
1 year busser at local buffet restaurant, then promoted to cashier/hostess, after 4 months promoted again to server.
each position has kept around 15-20hr a week

just recently I realized that i was really weak so I am starting a workout regime with my cross country friend and I am planning on joining indoor track this winter to keep working on my physique. My current PT stats are unknown and pathetic. My goals for the next year for ROTC preparation is to join more clubs with leadership positions, and to work on my physical performance. As far as motives, I want to serve as an officer. My ultimate goal is an active duty commission and a career out of the military.
 
You know youre weakness with the PT and have taken action to correct it. Good job there getting on it.
Your ACT score is the worry I see. Aim for a 30+ on the ACT.... I recommend also trying the SAT. Get 4-5 total test reps in at least I would say.

I appreciate the feedback and I will be working hard to improve on that!
 
Also, sorry for the typo, but the unweighted Cumulative GPA was 3.724 not 3.24, that would make a pretty large difference
 
With that correction, Id certainly have more confidence.
PT will come naturally with time.
Testing is just commitment.

Do you have any sports?
Can you elaborate more on leadership?
