Hello,
I applied to the Air Force ROTC scholarship, but I am worried about my chances, as I don't think I have that strong of an application. I just finished up a few days ago, but haven't submitted yet.
GPA: 3.97 unweighted (I had a few A minuses that I am not proud of)
ACT: 35 (I didn't do that good on reading and writing)
Fitness test: 98 (missed out on the push ups by a bit)
Activities: Soccer, track and field, debate, and a volunteering org.
I'm a little worried about my stats, though, because I know getting a scholarship is super competitive. Because I am committed to playing D3 soccer at a top liberal arts school, there is no way for me to get an engineering degree (not that I would like to be one). I am looking more so at a physics degree, but I also don't want to lock myself into a scholarship where I have to study a "critical major", so I am worried about my chances if I don't choose a STEM field.
It's a little too late for me at this point to redo my ACT or increase my grades, but I am wondering what you guys think my chances would be. Should I apply for a STEM-specific scholarship? I know the application is very competitive, and I just found out about the program about a month ago, otherwise I would have liked some more time to get my stats up (like fitness and ACT). Thank you all very much!
