    Ask Away!

    Well, to be honest it depends if she is a Marine Option. Since you put her three mile time I will assume she is due to the fact that the USMC PFT has a thee mile run. If she does run a 21 minute thee mile then she is gold for the run portion. The females have the flexed arm hang which is much...

    Ask Away!

    If you played any varsity sport you should be fine, depending on what sport you participated in. I was a wrestler and I worked out like mad by myself before I came to NROTC so the Navy workouts weren't hard. Sometimes though the Marine only workouts are killer such as a two mile run while...

    Any NAPSters waiting?

    Well as an update, I got rejected for a second and last time today. I am not applying again because I don't feel like delaying my life any longer. Time to move on to better things than spending semesters waiting on news. It was a good experience though and when I get my commission in a few years...

    Ask Away!

    Hello! I am currently a Marine Option Midshipman and completed my first year of college. I know a lot of future NROTC Midshipmen lurk around here waiting for questions they have to be answered and I want to be a unadulterated source of information about any questions about all things college...

    Any NAPSters waiting?

    I was put on the NAPS wait list in April and have been waiting close to two months to hear anything about my status. I am an NROTC Midshipman and explained that to the admissions staff, but they refuse to give any information. I know some people have received the rejection almost three weeks ago...

    Marine Option NROTC Scholarship

    As long as you max the pull ups and crunches, the run is not that bad. It is also something that is easier to train for than training your body to do five more pullups in the same time span. I maxed the pullups, crunches, and ran the 3 miles in 22:xx minutes. About the varsity letters, they like...

    Marine Option NROTC Scholarship

    The Marine PFT is a 3 mile run, crunches, and pull-ups. Good for you about the varsity letters, the board looks very favorably upon that. To give you an idea here are my stats: 3.67 GPA (Weighted) Top 20% in High School (Well know in the area) Varsity Baseball, Varsity Wrestling National...

    Marine Option NROTC Scholarship

    I received the Marine Option Scholarship, but I can't really tell you what your chances are because it doesn't seem like one set "stat sheet" is the golden ticket. What I can tell you is the interview counts for a lot (my interview was 2.5 hours long). That is when you can shine and really put...

    TWE, but not all that bad.

    The letter states that they had over 19,100 apps. I would take NAPS in a hearbeat. USNA is what I have been working for this whole year and I have heard some great "reviews" about NAPS and the candidates that got NAPS from my high school and went all said they are happy they chose NAPS.

    TWE, but not all that bad.

    I came home to a thin white envelope from Navy today. Thinking it was a rejection, I opened it up. Instead I got a waitlist to NAPS!!! I'm happy that it is not the end of the road. It is a pretty interesting letter. They want to see your current grades and they ask for any honors, awards, and...

    Got It!

    I am really surprised that some people haven't heard if they got the scholarship after they have waited a considerable amount of time. I finished my packet on the last possible day (from what my recruiter told me) and got an answer a month later. Then again, it seems different for everybody...

    NROTC Scholarship Flight Question?

    How did you not get the scholarship with those stats MorganC? If you don't mind me asking, what did you score on the PFT?

    Got It!

    Hey guys, As some of you may know, I was selected for the 4 Year NROTC Marine Option Scholarship to UNC, but I didn't get in to UNC. I went into an absolute frenzy trying to figure out what to do. I posted my problem here and got some amazing advice via PM from some members. I followed the...

    2015 Mail Stalkers

    As I was going through the mail, I saw a BFE with Department of the Navy on it. I thought it was an acceptance package... instead it was package for commissioning week.

    How to tell?

    Hello, I have a quick question. I think I have seen people that have been able to see if they got into their target SA through the DoDMERB website, or something to that effect. Maybe I've read their posts wrong. Where on the website do you have to look, if it is even possible?

    Marine Option Scholarship- Major Problem

    I tried to get the MO scholarship transferred to The Citadel, but they are already full and have ten people on the waitlist with scholarships. When I was told that, I went on a mad search to find schools with open slots.
