Rotc stats for uva

[sheriff3]

Broncos, do you have EC's like club leadership, boys state, scouting, community involvement? UVA seems to be exceptionally competitive and in this budget enviroment scholarships even more so. If you do not have the EC's above then you need to make a plan B and C as well. Stay motivated and best of luck to you.

I agree with Terp. If you are an OOS, you need to bring that SAT up to feel safe. Plus, although your cgpa is strong, colleges look at your school profile and your school rank. They will also re-weight to their system, so if you scale is 5.0 for weighted, and they use a 4.5 scale your cgpa can change.

I don't know if they still do it, but if you had placed your 5 schools on your list, and received the hard copy. They use to show if you were in the schools parameters for acceptance. It would also show the cgpa that the school would set you at for their admissions. It is interesting to see how your cgpa can vary from school to school.

I am confused because your other posts are all about AFROTC. Reading what terp has stated, and you looking at NROTC, I would agree currently if you are OOS, it is probably a reach not only for admittance, but also for an HSSP scholarship. Whereas, for AFROTC you have strong stats for at least a type 7. If you want a 1, you need to push it up about 50 points. Higher if you are going non-tech.

I also agree take the ACT because they will convert it to the SAT platform, and whichever score is higher they will take. They will not mix and match, i.e. SAT M, and ACT Eng.

Also, do you have any other ECs? Are you just a member of NHS, or do you have a leadership position in NHS? Did you take the PSAT? Are you an NMSF or NMF? NMF, and even NMSF give you an admission edge for many colleges. Look at their glossy brochures, or websites; most colleges that have a strong academic profile like to boast about the percentage of students that are at least NMSF.

Good luck.

Bronco, you wanted stats, so here is a great link that really breaks it down. You can find out by residency, by major, by SAT, by class rank.
http://avillage.web.virginia.edu/iaas/instreports/studat/admission.shtm

Basically, 93% overall are in the top 10% of their school rank...engineering 98% are in the top 10%
AVG SAT is 1350 overall.
Top quartile for Math is 740. Top 50% is 690....engineering is 780 and 740.
Verbal is 720 for quartile, and 670 for 50%.... engineering is 730 and 680.

~~~ I place engineering because 80% plus for AFROTC and NROTC are awarded to science majors.

A 1420 for engineering would be considered 50%.

The break down for admissions is: 24% for OOS compared to 41% IS, with an avg of @30% admitted. The most interesting fact is out of 27K applicants, only 8800 were IS, the remaining 18K+ were OOS. Only 4K were offered out of the OOS pool. Also look at the yield rate for IS enrollment. It is 63%. For OOS it is @27%. Ultimately, more OOS students are offered admittance(numbers, not %) than IS, but when it comes to enrollment, more IS enroll than OOS.

Now again, from an NROTC perspective they are not like AFROTC where HQ for NROTC does care how many are on scholarship. AFROTC they don't care if 100% are on scholarship at a det or 0%. That means for you as an NROTC applicant you really can't afford to not be in the 1400+ range, be it IS or OOS. Take my 0.019075 cents worth of opinion and now toss it in the garbage can.

In the end you have 0% chance if you don't apply. You can look at all of the stats, but your mind will implode unless you love AP stats, especially if you are going for a ROTC scholarship. The best thing you can do is apply with the strongest package you are able to submit. Good luck.
