ROTC Four Year Chances

Paying for College
1

<p>I'm a senior in high school and have always wanted to go into the military and do ROTC so my motivator is not the money. However, college is really expensive and I am starting to wonder if I will have the grades to get an ROTC scholarship to help pay for it. I am considering Air Force and Army ROTC with an intended major of Political Science. Thanks!</p>

<p>GPA: 3.8 unweighted</p>

<p>Class rank:18 of 287</p>

<p>Extra Curriculars: Baseball (I played for my school but no varsity letters); Mentor of Middle Schoolers; National Honors Society [Vice President]; Honor Flight (Helping War Veterans); Mentor of 2nd graders; Youth at the Booth </p>

<p>SAT: 690 CR, 630 M, 680 W, 2000 Total</p>

<p>ACT: 28 (Haven't gotten my latest scores back yet)</p>

<p>Applications should have been in by Sep 1 for the best chances. You are very late in the process and frankly that will hurt your chances. </p>

<p>Air Force and Army are two VERY different branches of the service with very different lifestyles and service. Unusual to be interested in both.</p>

<p>Majoring in Poly Sci won’t help much either. Most ROTC scholarships are targeted to technical fields now.</p>
