I was not planning to apply to ROTC until about a week ago, so wasn't conscious of my how my resume would look through high school, but here's what I got:
F, high school senior (does being a female applicant increase chances at all?)
SAT: 780 RW + 730 M = 1510. Plan on retaking this August in order to superscore.
GPA: 4.0 unweighted, 4.2 weighted
4 AP's: three 4's and one 5
3 AP's and 4 college-level classes scheduled for senior year
Heavily science focused course load (plan on pursuing STEM major)
JV Cross country athlete 4 years (Large team and injury last year)
JV track 2 years
Lap swim, hot yoga, 5k's, + strength-training classes in off-season (idk if this means anything lol---but I am passionate about fitness)
6:30 mile time and can max out in sit-ups, working on push-ups currently
Mentor & teach kids in Filipino heritage club outside of school
Co-leader of high school hiking club
Taught group piano lessons in the past
Member of NHS
Member of Key Club
Selected to be apart of high school's constitution team, prestigious reputation and won Nationals last year
~100 hours of community service
Volunteer at cultural fairs with club forementioned
Work with a couple humane societies and environmental organizations
Scheduled to become a certified lifeguard this fall
Also working on becoming a therapy team with my dog to visit hospitals and schools
I think I come across strong academically, but recognize I lack varsity involvement in a sport or any significant leadership positions. How much does this hurt my chances? What can I do to improve them (could I talk about future roles I plan to step into?)
I will post my essay(s) if I get feedback. Thanks to all that read!
