Hey everyone. I'm currently a junior in HS and I plan on applying for the NROTC scholarship. I wanted to see what some people who have gone through this process before think are my chances. Since I an not interested in the majors designated as such, I do not plan on going for either a Tier I or Tier II major unless completely necessary.
Academics:
3.79 unweighted (can't confirm this is what it is anymore, I took a college course I really struggled in and passed with a C+ average so it may have dropped)
Taken all honors in HS and now take college courses through a nearby college (Basic & Gen Chem, English Comp I & II, American Politics, US History, Political Research and more)
31 ACT (34 English, 24 Math, 34 Reading, 31 Science)
Sports:
Lettered in Football
Previously ran varsity track
Red-Black Stripe Belt Taekwondo
ECs:

What are your thoughts? I've been going to marine PTs at the local recruiting station and have participated in some of the big events for the Cleveland area, so I may also go for marine option.
I really want to serve the navy and have always been captivated by it, so any alternatives people have to gain a commission and an education will be greatly appreciated!
