So, I've already posted a few times on here, about the ROTC scholarship. Basically my goal school for AROTC is Georgetown or an Ivy (Princeton). As it turns out, I thought my GPA was a 3.8, but according to the army, it is 3.7 because classes I took in the eight grade for high school credit don't count for the scholarship. Will this hurt my chances given my other stats? BTW, I visited the Gtown ROO guy and he was impressed, but I don't know if that would change if my GPA went down by .1
GPA: 3.7 UW, 4.34 W
Class rank: top 10% (63/712)
ACT: 31 Composite
Sports:
Football: played from Freshman through Junior year. I was varsity sophomore and junior year, not playing senior year
Track: Varsity thrower from Freshman through Junior year, playing on competing senior year
Leadership:
Boy's council mentor- tutor disadvantaged 6th grade boys and teacher leadership
Link Leader- I help ease the transition of eight graders from middle to high school
Club officer: I am an officer in my school's cultural club
Tutor- I helped start a tutor organization at my school
Awards:
-National Latin Exam Silver Medal (Freshman Sophomore)

-National Security Language Initiative for Youth Scholarship winner- this State Department scholarship will allow me to study Arabic in Morocco for 8 weeks this summer
Other:
Expect Intermediate Low proficiency in Modern Standard Arabic by the end of the summer. I will also have a basic understanding of the the Moroccan dialect, Darija
I am black (I dunno if this affects anything)
I plan to Major in International Relations and Economics in addition to an Arabic minor. My end goal is Diplomacy or Intel work.
