Hello,
Here’s a little background on me. I am a sophomore in college on a full ride through merit based scholarships. I plan on enlisting in the guard for the fall semester and taking a semester of school to go to OSUT. After I have a assurance letter that I will be accepted into the ROTC program on completion of OSUT. Currently waiting Meps approval before signing my contract. My first semester of college last year I had a 4.0 (most of my classes were basic classes need to work towards my Mechanical Engineering Degree). My second semester I did alright, but I had a D in chemistry. My other grades were 2 B’s and 3 A’s. I decided I needed to retake chemistry and so far I have a 88. I plan on getting that up. My college will wipe the D from my transcript if I maintain a B or higher when retaking. I currently take 17 hours in college while working a 30 hour a week job and a 15 hour a week internship. I am a volunteer firefighter, Sunday school teacher, band director, and president of a engineering club. I work out 6-7 times a week and do fine in my CFA. I am taking Chemistry again (previously stated) and Calculus as well as things for my minor (political science). I’ve completed all my English classes (honors) and pre-engineering classes (like college algebra, pre-Calc, and etc.) I don’t have the time or schedule that would allow me to pick up physics. I applied to USAFA last year and had 3 nominations, but was told I was rejected due to classes I needed. I have a 26 ACT (I know it’s low plan on taking it in October again) and have a college GPA of 3.3 (as of right now, mainly because the D). I’m high school I was a varsity baseball player, president of a club, volunteer for ministry, mission trips, etc. What can I do to improve myself (I know I need a higher ACT) and Show that even though I haven’t taken physics I can still excel and be competive for a slot at USMA? P.S I’m in WV (not very competitive)
