Hi all!
A few months ago, I posted on these forums asking for opinions on my AFROTC scholarship (HSSP) chances (http://www.serviceacademyforums.com/showthread.php?t=26606). Well, a lot has changed since then (mainly medical stuff) and I'd like to ask again.
I understand that no one knows my chances, and that I must apply to have any chance at all, but I don't have much information or knowledge on past applicants.
My stats:
GPA: 3.57 (unweighted), 4.08 (weighted)
ACT: 33 ( 33R, 33E, 33M, 32S)
SAT: 1390 (700CR, 690M) (1400 super scored) should I report this?
College credit: Wil graduate with ~20 (2 AP's, 2 Dual Enrollment, ~13 honors)
Major: Non technical (finance/international business)
Extracurriculars:
Baseball (9th, 10th) shoulder surgery prevented play junior year, and I may have to have another surgery
Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) (10th, 11th, 12th)
Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA) (11th, 12th)
Volunteering: ~100 hours of miscellaneous work
Spanish Honor Society
Will be inducted to National Honor Society
Awards:
FBLA: 2011: 1st place at districts (E-Business), 2nd place at districts (Sports Management), 7th place at State (E-business)
DECA: 2012: 3rd place at invitational (Financial Services Team Decision Making), 1st place at districts (Financial Services Team Decision Making), 4th place at State (Financial Services Team Decision Making), 4th place at State (International Business Plan), International Competitor (International Business Plan)
Baseball: 2011 Summer: State tournament most valuable hitter
Junior Year: Academic Varsity Letter
Leadership:
Vice President of DECA
Team leader in organization of fundraisers, raising $1500<
Work Experience:
Summer 2012: Social Media Marketing and Search Engine Optimization for international manufacturing automation company (~8 hrs/week)
Summer 2012: Financial Analysis, Metrics and Reporting for international consumer services franchising company (~16 hrs/week)
School Year 2012: Continuing financial analysis position, now as a "part time job" instead of an "internship".
High School of Business:
Not sure if this is relevant to the AF, but my school is one of about 40 in the country that offers the High School of Business. What it is is that students take certain classes throughout their high school years, and they graduate with a separate diploma from the "High School of Business". There is talk about making this diploma worth 12 credits at our state colleges, because the classes are equivalent to those of a first year business student in college. I will graduate with this diploma, and I did not factor these credits into the previous ~20
Medical Issues:
Well, as you may remember, I had a lot of issues when I posted before. I had shoulder surgery in February, preventing me from playing baseball Junior year. There was a surgery complication, and the Dr. thought I may have to have another surgery this winter to fix it. It looks as though that is no longer the case and that the complication is benign and wont cause issues
Also, I have had ongoing hip issues but have been referred to a specialist and things are looking really good.
Previously, I had thought I needed a PFA waiver. However, since my shoulder has been healing so well (and I can deal with some hip pain), I decided to just go ahead and perform the test.
PFA:
Pushups: 43
Situps:55
Run: 10:30
Waist: <32.5
An online calculator pins this at a ~94.
So what do you guys think? Sorry for the long-winded post, and thanks in advance!
