No, I did not. I got my #1, #2, and #4 choices. #3 was Notre Dame. @jcleppe - Yes, at one time I was very committed to being an officer, hence the quoted line. But, I see my hint of doubt even then in the last three words. I do not remember posting that but I think it's cool that you were able...

I would not have applied for a scholarship that I did not understand, especially with the amount of effort that was required for this one. Yes, I am aware of the one year buffer and such technicalities. I don't know why you are so shocked that I am not jumping up and down to accept the offer...

@ CM11 Yes, that was me. But also, I did not think that I had gotten the scholarship towards Notre Dame (recall me saying that I wanted to transfer it there). If it's true that it is towards ND, I may give it a second thought.

So I was offered a scholarship from the first board and on my portal the listed school is Michigan State. I was a bit confused at first because this was one of my last choices and a school I have decided not even to bother applying to (no offense to anyone who goes there I am just OOS and don't...

I do not stem from a military family--not that it is necessary--and they have been very negative towards going into the military. Earlier in my high school career I really wanted to do ROTC and thought it was the only possible option--I had to do it. But recently, I have been shy towards the...

I'll post my stats as well--I most likely received the scholarship because of my academics. ACT: 33, (34 superscored) 10 Writing GPA: 3.92/4.00 uw no B's Rank: 16/651 Courseload: rigorous ECs: President of NHS Captain of Speech Team Rec Baseball Rec Basketball Running Calculus Tutor Church...

I believe the messages you're trying to convey are very appealing but I would suggest: 1. Better sentence structure-some run ons and odd grammar placement-needs to sound like you were taking normally. 2. Do not explicitly say : this is the first,second,etc reason for... 3. Be careful of the...

I have my interview scheduled for Tuesday, last thing to finish.

I am totally committed to this for the sake of being an officer. I want to serve in the army my whole life and I'm very dedicated to this scholarship at the moment.

Thanks for the feedback, very thoughtful. And as for the push ups, that was me maxing out at 57 seconds. No more wouldve been done regardless of time limit, I collapsed. But the schools I am listing as one and two are UoW Madison and UofM Twin Cities. What are my chances at each prospective...

I would appreciate it if people would stop criticizing my earlier statement about my pt tester. Not even relevant to the original question. As per my academia, I have posted them here before but I will again: ACT: 33 GPA: 3.92/4 uw 4.06/4.33 w (don't know what that is on an 5 scale) Classes: All...

USMCGrunt- I really do appreciate all of the feedback here, it has provided tremendous help in my application process. I just felt that the remark was a little personal because it was someone that I knew. But ultimately this forum didn't fail to answer my question once again and I thank everyone...

That came off as a little hostile.. I'm not arrogant, I was looking for a definitive answer and was defending a person that I have great respect for.

I'm not here to argue but part of his job was giving pt tests so please don't attempt to discredit him. But what I'm really looking for is, did I fail the test or not?

Trust me, my form was perfect, I had a brigadier general administer my test.

Anyone??

Alright, so I took the physical fitness exam and got 54 push ups in one min, 50 sit ups in one min, and a 6:57 one mile run. I believe I hypothetically failed sit ups (I haven't done them in a long time, and I think you need 53, correct me if I'm wrong) and I know I still have a while to get my...

Another question here: so I listed the wrong counselor on the app but she still got it and forwarded it to the right counselor.. What should I do about this?

I called my local university (my second-choice school) and tried to schedule my interview for the arotc four year scholarship. The man on the phone asked for my number and said I would be contacted with an interview date. It has been 2 days now with no call. How long on average does it take to...

So I'm obviously new here, and I would appreciate it if some of you clarified a few things about the scholarship. 1. Off topic but what does DS stand for, who are you referring to? 2. What IS the guidance counselor feedback? Is it a form sent to him/her? What's it's purpose in the application...
