Chance me please...military? uc?

<p>I am in the class of 2014. I am going to be a junior. I am a Chinese American living in California. </p>

<p>I'm still not sure where I want to go, or what I want to do exactly, but the military seems like a good place. Unfortunately, I also want to have a good career afterwards so that leads me to try to get into a good college. However, I don't have much money, and financial aid doesn't cover all of the expenses. I would greatly appreciate it if you guys review my grades and tell me my chances. Thanks!</p>

<p>I hope that the colleges won't care about that B in P.E., I was doing stupid things, and so it marked me down a letter grade.</p>

<p>On the PSAT: 152 (I know it's very bad)
Reading: 49
Math: 54
Writing: 49</p>

<p>I'm going to take a two week long SAT class though, so hopefully I can greatly improve these scores. </p>

<p>So far, I've done 2 years of Swimming</p>

<p>I have not volunteered yet, but I will.
I plan to volunteer to teach old people how to use the computer, and I plan to volunteer to help clean up the bay. In addition, I plan to intern at my congresswoman's office. </p>

<p>Also, if this helps, I will do life guard training, and next summer I will life guard at my local pool.</p>

<p>I've taken Intermediate Algebra in Summer School last year, and got a B. This year I'm taking a Introduction to Composition and Writing class, and I predict an A-.
Next year, I plan to take AP US History and AP English as my APs. Also, I'm going to take this period where I just go and tutor kids in math.
Senior year, I plan to take AP Calculus, AP Biology, AP English, and maybe one or two more.</p>

<p>My reach schools are: USAFA, USMA at West Point, Naval Academy, Merchant Marine Academy, and UC Berkeley
Some schools that I hope I can get into are: UCLA, UCSD, UC Davis, and UC Santa Barbara </p>

<p>I know that my SAT scores ruin a lot of my chances, but I'm sure I'm going to raise it up to hopefully around 1850-2050</p>

<p>Also, I want to know if I can make it into these ROTC programs. (most favored to least)
AFROTC, NROTC for Marines, AROTC, NROTC for Navy</p>

<p>I am 5'6", but underweight at 105 pounds (I'm eating protein now and trying to gain weight)
I can do 20 chin ups, not so much for pull ups
My fastest mile is 6:50
I can do 70 sit ups in two minutes
If this helps, I can swim a 31 second 50 Free </p>

<p>Please tell me if I have a chance. Thanks. Sorry for any spelling errors. Also, I'm going to improve my SAT scores.</p>

<p>By the way, I mean two week long SAT class as in I go there for 8 hours a day for two weeks</p>

<p>Realistically, I can see someone with your grades going into ~Davis. Just get your scores up to maybe 2000.
If you really want to get in USAFA, you should put more effort into sports and perhaps mathematics</p>

<p>Thanks motivate14, also what are my chances for ROTC? I mainly want to get scholarship for ROTC</p>

<p>bump, Please help anyone</p>

<p>Your grades are decent. The test scores probably need a bit of improvement. Swimming and life-guard work are decent extracurriculars.<br>
ROTC and service academies also look for leadership activities. You might want to go for something like team captain, etc.
Apply and find out. Competitive programs rarely have a “this will get in but that won’t” standard. Sure, they have minimums, but beyond those, it gets fuzzy.</p>
