Hey guys, I'm very new here. I'm currently a sophomore interested in serving in the USMC. I am specifically aiming to get a ROTC scholarship to a top tier college like HYP. I'm wondering whether or not I'm competitive and have a good chance of receiving the scholarship. I have taken the SAT already and scored a 1520 and my weighted GPA is a 4.6. I am a world class sparrer in Taekwondo and have competed nationally. I am also a national level fencer at an Olympic development center and a national honor society member with over 500 volunteer hours related to my sports. I will complete 13 AP classes by the end of senior year. I am also a national medalist at numerous science and engineering fairs. Furthermore, my school is STEM-oriented, "I don't know if this is more appealing for a scholarship". I've practiced the PT with my PE teacher and have gotten a perfect score during practice.
What do you guys think I should improve on? Do you guys think I will be a competitive applicant? I know you guys can't assure me of anything but I would love to hear feedback. Also, I was wondering if I should talk to the officer who runs the NROTC program at Yale because I live close by; would he be able to give me advice or should I seek out a recruiting office?
