I am going to be junior next year (2012-2013) and I have been looking into AFROTC and I started considering it as a back up option to the USAFA.
I had a ~3.6 GPA (I had to calculate it myself) my sophomore year taking all College bound classes (my school's levels are remedial-pssa[standardized test course for juniors who didn't pass the screener for the pssa]-no preffix-college bound- honors- AP).
Next year I signed up for the same level (you have to have a 95% or above to move up and i was not motivated enough to attempt such a feat) and I am taking my third year of engineering (second in my highschool because during your 9th grade year you take junior high course because you are still in the junior high), 3rd year of concert band (hs 2nd year), programming the web ("college at highschool" course for my school, i took intro to java last year and my teacher said he would let me skip the basic html class), year one of wood shop, and my first year of german. I am maxed out on classes because including gym those take up and that leaves me with no lunch and only a 1 semester study hall because nothing else would fit into that slot, this is different in the fact that I finally get a study (haven't had lunch or study hall since we've been able to pick our schedules in 9th)
By my senior year I plan to take H physics and hopefully AP calc (H physics because my schools AP physics is entirely medically based for some reason) another programming class or two (they are semester courses) and I feel that now i have the motivation to try and get at least all Honors for my core classes.
I was on track and Cross country my sophomore year, but i can't continue those two this year because I picked up tae kwon do, and my parents didn't like school sports interfering with something they pay $45 a month for. I am also in my schools drumline in our marching band and this is my 3rd year of marching band ( first year was pit), and our school's indoor drum corps esque group "stikz"
I plan to major in either mechanical/aerospace/electrical engineering or comp science
thank you in advance, sorry about the long post i tried to make it as short as possible
