I'm a Junior in Highschool and hoping to go to NROTC Marine Option and gain a commission.
My SAT score is 1800 and 28 on the ACT. However, my GPA is a low 2.8 since I messed up badly Freshmen Year (Sophomore year brought it up by 0.3). I have successfully taken AP World History, AP European, am taking AP Government, and am considering taking AP Calculus and AP Psychology my Senior year. I intend to major in Aerospace once I get to college.
I do cross-country and track for the school; I'm new to both sports, and have only made JV in CXC but lettered for track. Prior to this, I was in the band but quit after Sophomore year. I'm in two clubs and volunteer to do community service, and also started a club myself, but I have never held a leadership position in the school (Beyond the one I started).
For the PFT, my mile time is 5:44 (From Track), two miles is 13:57, three miles is 20:50 (From CXC); I can do 40 pushups in a minute and 70
curlups.
Whether or not I get a scholarship is indifferent, all I want is the commission. My GPA and lack of leadership positions are huge weak points, but I'm hoping my grades this year and running for Senior President later on will help me. Maybe I have a better shot at AROTC Scholarship, but I just want to know what I'm getting into.
