Hello all- Looking back on the application process, I realized that one of the few guiding sources I had was this forum. People like kinnem are incredibly valuable; use them as fountains of advice. There is intense competition for these scholarships. Given that the Marine Corps is...

Is anyone here familiar with the wait-list for NROTC? I received an email today stating I had been placed on the waiting list for my three schools, and that "a decision will be made at a later date" regarding what school and where. Because my number one is the school I really desire to go to...

I received a Marine Option NROTC scholarship in the early board to Notre Dame. I just found out that I was denied admission there. Now I would like to transfer the scholarship the the University of Virginia (an in state school). Given that I live in state, what is the probability of a successful...

How do you know what Tier the scholarship is for? I have scanned the portal, and can't seem to find any indication. Is this common for Marine Option scholarship recipients?

I received an email yesterday stating that because it has been 30 days since my last activity, my account is now Inactive. When I tried logging on, it barred me from doing so, and when I tried to reset my password, thinking that I may have put it in wrong, it refused my email altogether. Does...

What are the conditions one must have to get past ptosis? I have a remedial for which I need to explain pre and post op eyesight, and I was curious if my case is bad because DoDMERB doesn't seem to like surgery.

The website just updated to reflect that a remedial is requested, but it hasn't uploaded a code or anything to reflect that. Will it update soon, or should I begin looking for a letter in the mail?

I have already posted this in the DoDMERB section, but since that section is close to a ghost town most days, I thought I'd post it here as well. I recently received a MO NROTC scholarship, but I just received the DoDMERB letter. On the website, under personal information, it says "Approved...

I recently received an NROTC scholarship, but I just received the DoDMERB letter. On the website, under personal info, it says "Approved: 1/16" but I only received the letter on the 18th. I am supposed to call within five days from the receipt of this packet, but does this mean from 1/16, or the...

For the Marine option scholarship, do the colleges I put down on the list receive copies of my application?

Does anyone know when the results will be released? My contact said about two weeks back in November (translate: more than three weeks ago), and I was just getting a little antsy. If anyone has any information they would be willing to share about the process, please do. I think it would calm the...

Does anybody know what the deal is with the Application Status page? All I can find is this: *** NOTICE TO SCHOLARSHIP APPLICANTS *** On Friday, Nov 15, 2013 all existing scholarship applicants are required to RE-register and RE-authenticate though a new screen called NETFOCUS Gateway...

First time on the DODMERB section, so I'll introduce myself. I am a high school senior looking to get an NROTC Marine Option scholarship, and I had a few questions regarding the medical process if I were to receive a scholarship. 1) I am worried about my eyesight; it’s correctable up to...

Does anyone know when the first Marine Option board will meet? I heard Nov 13-16 but am not sure if that is the correct date, but it is what I heard. Lets just say that the above date is correct, however. When would we find out whether or not we have been awarded a contract? Sometime in late...

I have my officer interview tomorrow, and I have honestly no idea what to expect. Any suggestions/tips?

All- I sent the SAT/ACT scores to NROTC almost a week ago. My Status page says they have yet to be processed. Is this due to the government shutdown? Should I send them again, or leave them as they are? Prospective USMC

I have my PFT and Officer interview next Saturday (12 Oct). What do I need to have done by that point? I have already sent in my SAT/ACT scores, I have my Letters of Recommendation all lined up (any format for those letters?), and I am ready for the PFT. However, do I have to complete the...

What is the usual timeline for getting in all my essays, interviews, medical and PFT? I am getting my Eagle Scout in the next two weeks, and I want to wait until then to actually put it on the application, but I fear that I was to wait until 9/30 that wouldn't leave enough time to complete the...

Hello- I understand that this was a massive mistake, but I was pulled over for speeding. I was ticketed with Reckless Driving after going 80 in a 55 zone, on a clear day, with very little traffic. I was very cooperative with the officer. This is my first ticket, and besides this I am...

All- As I was going through the process, I came across the teacher recommendations section. Will they be prompted by an email as soon as I input their data, or will I have to complete and turn in the application prior to their receiving the email? My school year is quickly coming to an end, and...
