I am currently a sophomore in high school, and have a wide range of military knowledge, especially in reference to the USN. I would like to apply for the NROTC (Navy; not Nurse Corp or Marine Corp) Scholarship when I graduate in 2013. I have prepared myself for this challenge, as I know they are very selective as of late. I will finish High School with (approximately) a 3.88 GPA, 12 Varsity Letters, and around 300 or so Service Hours, along with several leadership positions. Do you believe these credentials will be able to make me a top contender for the NROTC Scholarship? If you have any previous experience with the selection board, please, let me know.

(I have also considered the USNA, if you believe I am, or am not ready for the USNA Admissions Board, based on credentials, please let me know).

Thank you for all help in advance!
