How hard is it to get an NROTC scholarship?

• I'am a senior in highschool played football for all 4 years an I did track and field for 2 years. I can get a 290-300 on the PFT, I have a 3.5 GPA I took no AP classes but I took honor classes all 4 years. I also have a part time job. And I scored 1200 on the ACT test. I also took 4 years of MCJROTC. Thanks in advance.

• Answer:

  A potential candidate of your calibre should not have a problem getting a full scholarship through NROTC. If you can maintain your grades, EC's and sports you should be fine. It's great that you're getting an early start because you want to be thinking about and capturing leadership opportunities that are available to you. You will at some point have to clear a medical exam and a physical conditioning test to actually be awarded a scholarship. Maybe someone who knows more about AFROTC can help you with that. In regard to the standarized testing - most likely you will see your scores improve considerably between now and October of senior year.
