<p>I am applying for the NROTC Scholarship and I have an interview next week. I am very worried because my Pre-Calculus wrote me a bad evaluation (She generally doesn't like me for reasons unknown), but my AP Physics teacher wrote me an excellent evaluation so I hope it kind of balances out and plus my Pre Calc teacher ended her evaluation on a somewhat positive note. I also am kind of a below average/ average student, but I SAT scores far exceeds the requirements and I have a lot of rigorous courses, as well as academy classes (visual arts). With that being said Its crucial that I do good in the interview I plan to wear a nice suit and I'm working on my resume can anyone give me so advice on how the interview will be conducted, things I need to know before the interview or things I should think about before my interview, etc. Any help will be appreciated thank you.</p>
<p>When my S interviewed he said the interviewer was very interested in S’s part-time job…how much he worked,what responsibilities he had, how he managed his time and kept his high gpa while working so many hours/week. </p>
<p>Have an answer for questions like “why Navy?” or “What are your goals” “what are your college plans”
Is there a certain part of the Navy (surface warfare,subs, pilot,spec.ops,etc) that you are most interested in? Make a list of a few questions you can ask the interviewer to show your real interests.</p>
<p>Do you have a job or other activities outside of sch.? Do you play sports or active in clubs, any leadership roles.<br>
Be confident but not cocky. Be yourself. Good Luck.</p>
<p>The interviewer is going to want to know about leadership roles you have held and athletics. Club President, team captain, etc. These are critical, especially if your grades are not great. This is one of the most competitive scholarships in the country now. The published minimums for test scores mean nothing. </p>
<p>Be prepared to answer questions about your grades. If they are not great but you have high SAT scores the interviewer will wonder about work ethic. You will have to take a full year of calculus and then a year of calculus based physics in college for NROTC regardless of your major so an iffy recommendation by the pre-calc teacher will be a red flag as well.</p>
