Opinion on Rotc

[9voltjolt]

Hi there,
I am applying for Army ROTC. And I was wondering what you guys think my chances are?
SAT:1230
GPA: 3.66
Extracurricular: NHS, ESAB(executive student advisory board), senior capstone... a lot of volunteering. I’ve worked many jobs(water park attendant, babysitting, reffing, lawn care, some construction and camp ground worker for a church).
Sports: 1 year of wrestling, year and a half of MMA, 2 years of soccer( freshman /j.v), 3 years track(varsity), 4 yearsclub soccer(captain).
Advanced classes: AP U.S history, AP government, and now taking AP psych.
Fitness assesment: 7 min mile, 41 push ups, 58 sit ups.... should I retake it?
I go to a highly competitor and very big school. I have already been accepted to bowling green state university and plan on going there. If anyone could help me out or give me advice much appreciated thank you.

SAT and GPA seem maybe a bit marginal BUT if it gets your foot in the door - only costs time to apply

Your stats/profile are very similar to my son's and he got into his desired school and got a 3 year AROTC scholarship. Good luck!

Work on improving the SAT if you can. You may be able to get a scholarship with your current SAT score, but keep in mind this is a competition. When a bear is chasing you and a buddy through the words, and you're facing certain death and becoming a meal, you don't need to outrun the bear, you need to outrun your buddy.

Apply, you cannot get it if you don’t apply. For Army you numbers are competitive, if you get a higher SAT score add it when you get it but don’t wait to apply. It is a whole person score, so the rest of your file, your survey and your interview are way more important. You have high enough on both gpa and SAT to get full points for those items on your interview. Good luck and keep us posted!

The most important question is, have you started the application? and if so, how close are you to finishing it? The first board deadline is in 2 days......
