<p>Hello! I'm 17 and it has recently dawned on me that I might like a career in the military. My dad is a veteran of the Army National Guard, so I spent a LOT of time running around armories as a little kid. Anyway, I've been seriously considering doing a Navy ROTC program in college, and majoring in nursing.</p>
<p>My stats are:
-attending what is considered the best public HS in my state.
-GPA: 4.35 weighted (Roughly 3.85 or so unweighted)
-SAT: 2100 (750 W/740 CR/610 M)
-active in local theater, show choir, improvisational comedy
-active member of roller derby team
-Rank: 53/279 (18%)
-Volunteer experience at local library & elementary school (currently in process of being a Red Cross volunteer)
-Part-time job
-1st place award for a Civic's video game about bullying (through the Globaloria program), 1st place in several short film competitions (for which I served as Sound Operator/Assistant Director), Leadership Award for Music (given out by my school).</p>
<p>So, basically I'm just wondering if I have a shot at the NROTC scholarship for nursing, and what schools I would be competitive for which offer the scholarship (Naval</a> Reserve Officers Training Corps - Nurse Corps). My current favorites would be U of Minnesota or University of Pennsylvania. If anyone is in an NROTC program or has a child who is, I'd love to know what it's like, too.</p>
