Hello everyone,
I want to compete for a scholarship in either AFROTC (preferred) or AROTC. I do not come from a military family at all, so any advice or insight is greatly appreciated.
I am a 17-year-old female going into my senior year of high school this fall. I am an IB Diploma Candidate (college preparatory high school course) so I have all IB classes. At the end of my high school career I will have four years of science (Biology, Physics, Chemistry I & II), six years of math (Algebra I and higher) and four years of Spanish. My current GPA is 3.928 unweighted. On the SAT I got 580 on CR and 570 on math (definitely retaking that in October). I will take the ACT in September.
I excel in math and foreign languages (even though my SAT score doesn't really reflect that).
I played on my junior varsity school soccer team my freshmen and junior year and will play my senior year as well. I also played on the school tennis team my sophomore and junior year. Sophomore year I played on JV/V swing and junior year I received a varsity letter. I will play again for my senior year. I am an active member in the Red Cross and Intenational Rotary clubs at my school and was a member of the National Honor Society my sophomore year. Currently I have over 100 hours of community service.
I am in decent physical condition but there is room for improvement.
I want to be a civil engineer or intelligence officer for the Air Force but I am also considering the Army. My choices for universities are the University of Washington, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, UCLA, the University of Michigan, and the Ohio State University.
How competitive do you think I am for a scholarship and what else can I do to improve? I know that I need to improve my SAT score by 100 or so points. Thank you in advance.
