Hello everyone,
Sorry for the length of this post but I have a lot to learn about this. I am currently a junior in high school in Texas and I'm going to apply for an NROTC Scholarship. I'm not sure if I want to do Marine Option or Navy Option yet. I'm going to apply for AFROTC and Army ROTC also as a backup plan if you're allowed to do that. I have a 4.0 GPA (3.4 unweighted) and I'm in the top 25% of my graduating class. I'm in Key Club (community service), and run varsity track. I took the SAT sophomore year and I think I got a 1600. I passed the AP history test last year so i have that college credit. I can meet all of the physical requirements. I plan on majoring in either Business Management or Chemical Engineering. With these qualifications, what are my chances of getting an NROTC Scholarship? I also have a few questions about ROTC in general.
-When is the best time for me to apply?
-Do I need to join more clubs?
-Are most ROTC cadets on scholarship?
-And What else can I do to increase my chances?
Thanks for any answers!
