Yes, I know that these kind of posts get pretty annoying.....but any information would be greatly appreciated, as I have nearly no knowledge about the competitiveness of ROTC scholarships. I'm a Junior, also looking into applying at USNA.
Academic:
- 29 Composite ACT (English 28; Math 29; Reading 30; Science 29)
- 4.0 GPA
- Homeschooled
Athletic:
- Two 5k’s
- One 10k
- One 11 mile bike race (3rd place)
- 4 seasons of JV lacrosse (started last season)
- Active runner and road biker.
- Active hiker and backpacker.
Other accomplishments:
- Active Member of Boy Scout Troop 371 Since September 2007
- Senior Patrol Leader (former Troop Guide and Patrol Leader)
- Life Scout (Eagle Project in progress; will have Eagle by ~feb. 2013)
- Most senior scout of the biggest Troop in our District
- Graduate of East Alabama Children’s Choir (2007-2010)
- Active member of East Alabama Youth Choral Since 2010
- Active member of Grace Heritage Church Since spring 2012 (attending since 2004)
- Former owner of Handcrafted by Henry (woodworking company, 2011-2012)
- Current income generated through a small ebay business.
- Active Member of Catalyst Speech & Debate Club (1st year)
- Volunteer Service: 4 weeks of total work at White Sulphur Springs Retreat Center (OCF); assisted a local carpenter (summer 2010) for experience and knowledge.
I heard in another post that recruiters target specific types of guys (regarding geography, race, family, etc.) So, if it matters at all:
- My parents are both white.
- I have seven siblings (I'm number 4)
- My Dad has an average middle-class income (professor at AU)
- I live in Auburn, AL (District 3; Mike Rodgers)
- My Dad is a USNA graduate ('85) and has a PHD
- My biological Grandfather served as an officer in the Navy for 22 years (helicopter squadron leader at one point).
I realize I might have just provided a bunch of irrelevant information, but I don't really know want the application will look like.
I heard somewhere that Air Force scholarships are easier to get. Is that true?
Also, will I be more likely to fly in the Navy or the Air Force?
Great thanks,
Henry
