Hello!
I'm currently a senior and am looking forward to doing AFROTC in college! Since I was little I've always wanted to join the military but I also wanted to go to college and have an education. My parents want me to become a doctor but I want to show them I can do well in AFROTC too. That's my background.
Now here are my following questions:
1. How much do sports affect AFROTC scholarship chances? I wrestled for one year but can't wrestle this year because I'm going to Vietnam since my grandma is sick and well... on the verge...
2. How do AFROTC look at your GPA? I didn't do so hot freshman year but brought it up sophomore and junior year (4.4W, 3.8W) 8AP's by the end of senior year total.
3. I have 300 hours of community service and will have more. I'm involved in a youth group kind of similar to boy scouts where I'm a leader and help organize charities as well as local events such as TED talks.
4. If I do not get a scholarship this year, if I go into college as a freshman, do I reapply as a high school applicant or do they look at my college GPA?
5. On the application, I listed 3 colleges but what if I do not get into those colleges? Am I screwed?
_______________________________________________
How do I look? How are my chances for an AFROTC scholarship?
UWGPA (9-11): 3.7
WGPA (9-11): 4.25
SAT I (M+CR): 1300
MAJOR: Electrical Engineering
Extracurriculars:
1. Youth group - 8 hours a week, leadership and I also learn tools such as rope knots and morse codes.
2. Wrestling - junior year. Wished I wrestled freshman and sophomore year but can't go back can we?
3. 300+ hours of community service.
4. NHS - National Honor's Society
5. Vice President of The Academy of Sauces - Sounds like a joke but honestly the concept under it is to basically bond as a group and fundraise money to give back to the community as well as get rid of bad habits through cullinary arts.
6. Created a college website to help people with essays and college in general.
As you can see, I'm fairly weak applicant but do I have a chance? I only want a type 7, don't need a type 1 or 2.
Thanks!
