Was definitely an enhancing experience. Learned a lot and grew from this process. Grateful for the 4 year scholarship
So during this experience I had to really step up my game for standardized testing. There were plenty of people that said I wouldn’t get the ROTC scholarship but I used it as motivation to keep improving! On the SAT I was scoring 1100 but then I switched to the ACT. I scored better on it and got a 26. Solid but not amazing.
GPA was a struggle at first. Freshman year I took physics and did bad! I got a C in that class and had a 3.4 gpa freshman year. I worked harder and eventually received a 3.78 GPA at the end of junior year (3.63 unweighted). I heard that a 3.6 was the average for a 4 year winner. Ended with a 3.8 and graduated 30% of my class
Leadership was definitely my stronger suit. I always had the highest ranking positions in Student Government. I was a Representative and a class president freshman year, Committee Chairman sophomore year, Student Body Secretary junior year and Student Body President senior year. Actually passed many initiatives like $2000 water refilling stations installed, windows 10 in my school, spirit weeks, events, board of Ed meetings, etc. Also had 1200 hours of community service. Going on mission trips and serving as a small group leader and activities coordinator in my church
PT was something I took really seriously. I started to prepare during my junior year spring. I would run PT sessions with my friends and we would do it together. Pushups increased drastically from 45 to 75 in 2 minutes. Sit-ups improved a little and runs were easier. Overall I did solid on the PT test for the ROTC fitness test.
I also applied to West Point as well. Got a TWE in April but it helped me become more competitive
Summary: 3.63 unweighted GPA, 26 ACT, 64 pushups in 1 minute, 49 sit-ups in 1 minute, 6:45 mile. Lots of community service and SGA positions
If you have any questions, I’d be willing to answer
