I have never participated in a varsity sport and my only physical extracurricular is martial arts. I originally did Krav Maga for a couple years and now am in my second year of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I am entering my senior year of high school and will be applying for ROTC scholarships this year. While I am weak on the athletic side of the application, I have a 4.0 unweighted GPA, 36 ACT, 800/800 on Math II and Physics SAT subject tests, and have taken 9 AP classes already and two dual enrolled math classes at the local university. I also hold multiple leadership positions on my speech and debate team, lead my Model UN team, and have a physics research internship and some regional science fair awards. I have performed in the top 260 on a national physics test. I also volunteer locally with people with disabilities helping them ride horses and serve on Youth City Council. I attended my states governor's school last summer and attended boys state this summer, where I became particularly interested in ROTC.
I know that ROTC looks for strong athletes and I am not that, but would my academics and extracurricular activities be able to make up for it so I could earn a Type 1 scholarship with the AFROTC or a similar scholarship with a different branch?
I tried to figure out statistics online, but had trouble finding relevant information. So, I would really appreciate any specific thoughts on me as an applicant or general information about acceptance rates and data. Thank you.
