I am a senior in high school, currently finishing up my NROTC/AFROTC application, just need to put in the two essays for NROTc and my recruiter has already set up an appointment for my interview next Wednesday at 10 am which I AM REALLY REALLY NERVOUS FOR
I have a cumulative GPA of 3.44 WEIGHTED where I messed up badly in sophomore and junior year with C's in my AP classes. I took more AP classes than I can handle, which lowered my GPA badly. I think that if I would have stuck to honors classes and just a right amount of AP's, my GPA wouldn't be so low... so i'm really losing hope cause the competition is really high now a days.
My ACT score is 28 cumulative, with a 1530 SAT. I am retaking both...
I have about 400 hours of community service, I am president of two clubs in school, yearbook section editor, tutor for my local library, in mercury (which is ASB affiliated so a mini finance organization within ASB), worked the general elections as a touchscreen inspector. I have been volunteering at the same organization since I was a freshman in hs and am a Link Crew Leader. I am also a studio/data manager for yearbook and spend most of my time there editing sections of the yearbook since junior year. I played volleyball for two years freshman and sophomore, and on the swim team 10, 11, and going to do this year as well. Im continuing my exercise to stay fit
I know GPA plays a big role in the selection, but how are my chances? I know I could've done better and the only thing i can do now is continue with the application and work harder senior (even though that doesn't really change much except show consistency) plus nail the interview (IM REALLY NERVOUS HAVE I MENTIONED THAT ALREADY)
My top 5 choices:
1. USD
2. Purdue Univ.
3. UCLA
4. Loyola Univ. of Chicago
5. UCDavis
electrical engineering in USD, how competitive will it be to get into USD unit since San Diego is a naval base area
