Hello all,
I have seen many Service Academy candidates who had the chance to participate in JROTC during high school. Not only does this help one prepare for the military but I'm sure that it also serves as a great extra-curricular activity that the Academies would love to see on someone's application.
Unfortunately, my school does not offer this program, nor do any of the other schools in my district. Recently I was taking the pre-ACT test and on the writing portion we had to answer the question, "What class would you like to see offered in the future at your school". I chose to write about bringing the JROTC program to our school and possibly also a military history or science course. I am not sure if this will be read and taken into consideration so I am going to try to email my principle to set up a meeting to discuss this.
Another thing that I have heard is that the Service Academies want you to take leadership roles and invest your time in projects in activities that are important to you. I would personally love to be involved in bringing this program to my school and I believe that taking part in adopting this program is something that the Academies would think of highly.
Do other people have any advice to give me on this journey?
Thanks
