I had a PFT of 288, 3.5 GPA, 3 varsity letters and Company Commander of NJROTC. White males are at a disadvantage, and I heard that more than once. Good Luck..Maybe we will meet one another at Norwich.
I have spent the last three summers at Norwich. First year as a participant at drill camp, the second and third year as an assistant instructor for drill camp. I like the small college feel. The one thing to remember is Norwich is in the middle of no where. A lot of guy's from my NJROTC unit...
Thank you pennak. I will be off to Norwich in hopes of a side load scholarship, if that doesn't come through..it will be off to Plan C. Good Luck as well !!!
I spoke to the New Jersey rep yesterday. He advised me that I did not get the scholarship and that the Marine Corps issues 20 less than they did last year. My status is not yet updated. Good Luck to the rest of you that haven't heard anything.
The Captain for New Jersey left me a message to call him on Thursday, he called while I was in school. Still waiting on a call back. Hopefully, I'll have something to report tomorrow one way or another.
I got a message from the Captain that processed the New Jersey applicants last night. Missed his call ! As soon as I hear from him I will post the outcome. My on line status is still stating at Marine Corps for Selection Boards.
Thanks for the info. The recruiter that handled my app was transferred to Massachusetts, so the only contact I have is the Captain that processed all of New Jersey and I don't want to email him yet. If I hear anything I'll let you know.
