Chances at Army ROTC scholarship?

<p>I'm a rising senior who's applying for an Army ROTC scholarship this summer. Academically, I have a 3.85 CGPA for my career with a 29 composite on the ACT, I'm in the top 20% of my class. I plan to major in Arabic or Russian.</p>

<p>I lettered in varsity Tennis, played football for 2 years and basketball for one year, and I'm part of my schools Muay Thai club. Also, I participate in local trail runs and can easily pass the Army PFT.</p>

<p>I was elected Secretary of my NHS chapter, have over 90 internship hours at my town's fire department, and lots of community service. I'm applying to 2 state schools and 3 out of state schools. What are my chances for a 4 year ROTC scholarship?</p>

<p>You have a decent shot…</p>

<p>I got the 4 year AROTC scholarship, the 4 year type 7 AFROTC scholarship, and didn’t get anything from the Navy.</p>

<p>I had a 3.97 unweighted GPA, 4.25 weighted GPA. My SAT score at the time I applied was 1330 M+CR (they don’t consider writing when evaluating SAT scores). I was vice president of one club as well as a strong member of two other clubs. I was a varsity athlete in three different sports, but never a captain. I had over 100 hours of community service (I organized and lead two school blood drives) and wrote a pretty good essay.</p>

<p>That being said…It has become extremely difficult to get these scholarships because of the budget cuts, which translates to less scholarships, so they’ve become extremely competitive.</p>

<p>My friend who did not get any of the scholarships had a 3.0 unweighted GPA, 3.3 weighted GPA, an 1100 M+CR on the SAT. He was an eagle scout and captain of the swim team. He had limited club involvement, but maybe 60 hours of community service.</p>

<p>Since you are in-between me and my friend, but closer to my stats…you have a decent shot. I wish you the best of luck on your future endeavors and your scholarship application!</p>
