Well I guess I will ask the same question a lot of people ask regarding the chances of getting an AROTC Scholarship.
My biggest problem seems to be my SAT and ACT Scores, I'm not sure why I have scored so low, I expected higher. My question is this, I met with the PMS at the school I would like to attend, my brother will be a MS3 next year at thus same school. While I was meeting with the Col. he went ahead and did my interview while I was there visiting my brother, we talked a long time and he told me that he gave me his highest reccomendation. I showed him my stats to date and he was feeling pretty confident which sounded good. This was before I took the SAT and ACT. For some background here are my stats:
GPA 3.55 unweighted
SAT 550 Reading 510 Math
ACT 23
NHS
Eagle Scout
Presidential Service Award
360 documented Community Service Hours during High School
3 years Varsity Track
3 years Varsity Cross Country
Captain Track Team
Captain Cross Country Team
2 years Debate team
Senior Youth Group Leader
2 years Senator in Youth in Government
1 year Sports editor School Annual
1 year Editor in Chief School Annual
3 years City Youth Court
1 year Head Juror
1 year Judge
1 year Camp counselor
3 Mission Trips to Mexico with youth group
2 years youth leader
1 year to build a house in Juarez
4 years school Band and Marching Band
1 year selected for Audition Band
2 years Stage Band
Advanced Scuba divier certificate
I guess my big question is, will the SAT and ACT completely end any chance of receiving a Scholarship. I plan to take the SAT again in Sept. to try and raise my score.
One thing that I should mention, I am not applying for the scholarship at schools such as VMI, Texas, USC, or such schools, The schools I am applying to are smaller, public and lesser known as a high speed school. Thank you for any input you can give me.
