The point of this post is not to brag
As I was applying for the ROTC scholarship, the information I received was several years old (but mostly accurate) and I wanted to update this forum on what it takes to get a four year ROTC scholarship. My top three schools of intent were 1. Notre Dame, 2. Creighton, 3. Xavier. I received a four year offer to all three schools from the october board and accepted the offer for Notre Dame. Below are my "stats."
ACT: 31Comp. 34Eng. 31Math 34Rea. 33Sci.
GPA (unweighted)/class rank: 4.o/ 3/91
Sports: competitive soccer since 5th grade, 4 Varsity soccer letters, Defensive MVP
Leadership: Eagle Scout, Club President, Club Vice-President, NHS, officer in Science NHS, Boys State, West Point SLE, volunteer tutor
Other things: School's top science student, AP Scholar Award, will complete ~11 hours of concurrent credit (including Gen. Chem. I)
Fitness test (I was told that the 1-mile is the most important): 58 PU, 40 SU, 6min 26sec 1-mile
I was also told that the 1st board gives out 4yr scholarships, the 2nd gives out a mix of 4&3yr, and the 3rd gives out whatever is left. I hope this was a help to some applicants in the future, and I hope I don't discourage anyone from applying. The only way you can receive an offer is if you apply Other winners feel free to add on to this thread!
Go Army beat Navy!
