This fall I will be a high school senior. I am not particularly concerned about my academics, I am a little concerned about my fitness, and I am very concerned about my leadership experience.
I have a 1410 on the SAT, although I am scheduled to take it again in September and I have gotten 1450s on my last two practice exams. I have an unweighted GPA of 3.82 at a very prestigious and rigorous high school.
I ran the full PFT this morning and scored a 92.1. I ran 1.5 miles in 10:56 (55.7 points), my Abdominal Circumference is 31 (20 points), I did 50 push-ups in 1 minute (8.4), and I did 49 sit-ups in 1 minute (8). That being said, I have ramped up my training regimen this summer and have already noticed a significant improvement in my scores, so I think I can raise them even further without an issue.
My leadership experience is limited. During my upcoming senior year, I will the Co-Captain (1 of 2) on the Varsity Mens Tennis Team, and I have varsity letters all 3 years so far with a 4th all but guaranteed. I was a Co-Captain of the Mock Trial Team (1 of 2) last year, and I will be again next year. My biggest concern here is that on the AFROTC application I cannot explain that I WILL be a captain next in 12th grade, and I can only attest to what I've done between grades 9-11.
1. Is there any way I can communicate the fact that I am a leader on the tennis team?
2. I read on another forum that I'm not even allowed to discuss my captaincy (or anything else I plan to do senior year) during my interview; is this true?
3. Is there any way for me to bolster the leadership portion of my resume further, considering I am already entering my senior year?
4. What do you all think of this packet as a whole? Do I have a decent shot at getting in?
