Is a 900 SAT score enough for military ROTC in college?

I just received my SAT score and it's 900. I'm interested in doing ROTC in college; however, I'm not sure if my SAT score is good enough. Does anyone know about the SAT score requirements for ROTC programs in colleges or has any experience with it?

The ROTC scholarship does indeed consider your SAT scores as one component of your application, with other key factors being your high school GPA, extracurricular activities, athletic abilities, leadership experience, and personal interviews.

While there's no absolute minimum SAT score set for scholarship consideration, typically competitive ROTC scholarship applicants tend to have scores higher than a 900. Many successful applicants usually have a score of at least 1100, along with a strong GPA (typically around 3.0 or higher) and a solid high school academic record.

While scores are important, ROTC also places significant emphasis on leadership potential, character, and physical fitness, looking for individuals who will excel as future officers. So even if your score is not in the ideal range, strong performance in other areas could still make your application competitive.

In terms of improving your score, you could consider retaking the SAT if you have the time. Various resources can assist in test preparation such as College Board's SAT practice tests or the Bluebook™ app for digital SAT prep.

Please also note that it's important to meet the admission standards of the colleges where you're intending to participate in ROTC. Meaning, if your SAT scores are significantly lower than the average range of admitted students at those colleges, boosting your SAT score may still be necessary for admission regardless of ROTC.

In any case, reaching out to the ROTC programs at your desired colleges or contacting your high school counselor could provide you with more personalized advice for your circumstances.
