<p>I was just wandering if anyone out there who has gotten an nrotc scholarship for the marine corps could give me an idea of how much of a chance i have.
I have a 3.6 GPA, was in AFJROTC for two years and held numerous leadership positions including Black Knights commander, Echo flight commander, Delta flight commander, Kitty Hawk air society deputy, echo squadron first seargent, and i did numerous hours of community service. I also play baseball, soccer, and i wrestle. I scored a 1600 on my PSAT and am taking the SAT june 2. I would just like to know if anyone has any advice.</p>
<p>Nice username, haha, that’s what we called our old group commander. And nice to see another AFJROTC person around here.</p>
<p>I’m not sure what exactly NROTC scholarships are looking for (i’m going for AF ROTC myself), but for AF a lot of the competition is based off of what you plan on majoring in in addition to your academics. For AF, STEM degrees are in-demand. They also give you the PT exam, for AF it’s not the deciding factor but you obviously have to do well on that, especially for an NROTC scholarship.</p>
<p>I’d say your SASI is your best friend. Try talking to him/her because they’re an integral part of the process, and at the least they’re a wealth of information. And talk to recruiters, recruiters, recruiters. I personally think you’re in good shape to get a scholarship.</p>
<p>yeh, haha, thats the nickname i got pegged with as well, but yeh ive been talking to a recruiter for a while now and i submitted my application, and you are right i have to do extremely well on the pft, like a 250</p>
<p>Marine Corp ROTC doesn’t care about your major, which is nice for you if you don’t want a STEM major. </p>
<p>Navy options don’t take a PRT as part of our application, but you do need to pass the test to get access to your funds (including tuition). I think Marine options may still have to take the test.</p>
