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
JV Cross country athlete 4 years (Large team and injury last year)
JV track 1 year
Lap swim, hot yoga, 5k’s, + strength-training classes in off-season (idk if this means anything lol—but I am passionate about fitness)
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
~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
Selected to be a apart of high school’s constitution team, which won Nationals last year
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!
