Hi everyone I just submitted my application for the 4-year NROTC scholarship. I know there are a ton of these questions out there but I had a couple of other questions about this year's board.

SAT:1320
ACT:30 (29 English 27 Math)
GPA: 4.14
Class Rank 137/343
Intended major: aeronautical engineering

Varsity football 3 years and baseball freshman sophomore. Member of NHS and Science NHS. President of Model United Nations club. Co founder/ president of a club founded to help out kids interested in a military career (pt, applications etc). Member of science olypiad club. Went to a military leadership camp at Norwitch U two years ago and got selected for promotion this year and returned as a Corporal. Tons of community service (interviewer told me it we the most she had ever seen on an application)

Some questions I had other than "what are my chances" are...

1.) Is my SAT competitive enough?
2.) is it true that they are lowering the # of 4 year scholarships in favor of 2/3 year scholarships for midshipmen who have proven themselves?

(Also trying to apply to the academy)

Thank you all you knowlagable people for your help and advice!
 
1.) Is my SAT competitive enough?
It may or may not be good enough. They are looking at the whole person and that score is only one aspect. I know 1 1330 was not good enough for DS to win a 4 year Marine Option scholarship, but then he was weaker in other areas. If your score is not 1 1600 you should be trying to improve it.

2.) is it true that they are lowering the # of 4 year scholarships in favor of 2/3 year scholarships for midshipmen who have proven themselves?
So rumor has it. I suspect only NavyNOLA, on this board, could give a definitive answer. I'm not even sure goals have been set for this year. so who knows?
 
Your SAT/ACT is below the average of 1430/31. They are heavily weighted in the scoring formula. I'd recommend giving it another shot if you can.

Yes, the number of 4-year Nationals started decreasing last year and that has not changed this year, as part of something called Precision Loading. More 2 and 3 year side loads are being offered during the summers instead to strong College Programmers to replace attrition.
