Hey everyone,
I am going to be applying for a Marine Option scholarship within the next year and just wanted to see you you all thought of my current stats. I am currently a HS Junior.
GPA: 3.0 unweighted
3.51 weighted
(my GPA is slowly going up though, thankfully)
I take all accelerated classes except for math which is academic.
I am also in Latin 3 and have taken 1 year of Spanish
Haven't taken SATs yet but took the PSATs twice. I havent recieved my Junior year scores yet but my scores as a sophomore were:
Math: 55
CR: 57
Writing: 57
(Scores said i was above the 90th percentile in each)
Sports:
Football - freshman and sophomore years
Golf - junior and will be senior years
Rifle Team - junior and will be senior years
Baseball - will have played all years of HS
ECs:
Student Council Representative
JSA Officer (Director of Debate)
FBLA member
Went to the National Youth Leadership Forum on National Security
I was also chosen to represent my school after an essay and interview process at the Hugh O' Brian Youth Leadership Seminar (HOBY) for Central PA at Millersville University
I am apart of Campus Life for my school district (Youth Group)
I also play American Legion baseball during the summer
Jobs:
I am a lifeguard at a local resort during the summer. I average 40 hours of work time per week.
I also work at a batting cage during the winter. My duties there are taking calls, scheduling times for customers to come in, performing maintenance on machines when they break, and keeping the facility clean and orderly.
Community Service:
I help out a few days per month at a farm owned and operated by a family friend. This allows him to spend more time with his 4 year old son who he does not see very much due to the fact that he is at the farm working from very early to very late at night.
I am going on a mission trip to Ghana this summer with the youth group I am apart of. We will be spending 2 weeks in the country performing jobs such as building a church for the local residents.
I am also planning at volunteering at the local VA Hospital for a few hours per month
Misc.:
I workout at the local Marine Corps Recruiting Station once per week.
I currently score in at 212 out of 300 on the Marine Corps PFT but that is continually getting better
(100 situps, 12 pullups, 26:00 3 mile run)
Any input (tips, comments, personal experience) you guys could give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
