Hello-
I have wanted to be a Marine all of my life. I believe I have the significant desire to be one, and will stop at nothing to become a Marine Officer. One of the best ways to do this is by getting an NROTC option scholarship. I understand it is very competitive, and I am fairly knowledgeable in the process. This being said, here are my statistics and extra-curriculars. I understand that these stats don't guarantee anything, I merely wish for advice.
I am a Junior at a very competitive high school in Washington, DC
I have a 3.900 weighted GPA with 3 AP's (European History, US, Language and Comp) and 7 Honors (Geometry, English I, Biology, English II, Precalculus, Pre-Law and Physics). Unweighted is unknown.
SAT 1st time: 2010 Comp, 730, 650, 630 (8)
ACT 1st time: 31 Comp, 30 English, 29 Math, 34 Reading, 31 Science, 30 Writing. I am planning on taking both again
I am a Cross Country Captain, with 5K times of around 18:20. I have received two varsity letters through XC. Also, I played two years of baseball at my school on the Freshman and Junior Varsity levels, but I am currently organizing twice a week workouts.
I am a Senior Patrol Leader at a Boy Scout Troop of over 100 kids, and will receive my Eagle Scout in early November.
I am the Vice-President of the Military History Club, the Secretary in the Support Our Troops Club, and founding member of the Indoor Soccer Club.
I was a member of the Freshman Retreat Leadership Team, where I led kids for 3 days. I am going to be a member of the Retreat Team for my Senior Year next year.
My best PFT up to date is with 14 pullups, 73 crunches, and 19:14 3 mile for a score of 241. I understand that to be competitive, I have to get my pullups up, using Armstrong to increase.
Any thoughts? Also, does anybody know whether or not a Scoutmaster is eligible to do the essay for NROTC?
Thanks,
