What was yours? Trying to broaden my horizons when my free time vastly increases in about 3 weeks

You're going to need to score a 235 or higher just to activate your scholarship, but yeah like others have said, you should strike for 275+ to ensure you have the best chance at a scholarship.

That's the sentiment around the whole unit. It was also a little irritating they wouldn't let OCS complete MIDN participate.

My School is still having an NSO.

Honestly I'm not a huge fan of NSI either. I feel like they should have at least tried to pair the Candidates by school. The NSO bonding experience is lost.

You really want to be doing more running if you want to get better at running, it doesn't have to all be sprints or PFT pace, in fact most of it should not be. Those long runs (9+ miles) at a sustainable pace are just as important as sprint work. As long as you don't hurt yourself, increasing...

What @rocatlin said is accurate. However they are only requesting like 70 Mids, so I have no idea what the rest of the country is doing.

Here's a little secret about the board dates..... The OSO is going to be your most reliable source because they have to show up to it.

Aptitude is a huge one

They will be provided all the same equipment and uniforms as Scholarship Mids.

I'm going to have to disagree a little here. If you really want to get good run scores on the PFT/APFT you really need to be running more than twice a week. Obviously if you have not been running a lot don't jump in and start a plan that requires 50 mpw, just be aware you are really doing...

She can certainly try. Also keep in mind this, at my unit at least, a lot of kids start out in tier 1 majors but switch to tier 2 and 3 in their sophomore year, like a lot more than you would think. I actually have a hard time believing the 85% figure because of this.

I was in the same position as you and managed to get on scholarship on the last board. All I can say really is that there is no magic to it. The Marines don't need mediocre officers, so you should keep that in mind. Show up with at least a 280+ PFT for your O-week. Grades are important but they...

Hello all, I currently am a college programmer who just picked up scholarship as a Marine Option Midshipmen. I was wondering if anyone had heard of the scholarship being transferred to a Navy option scholarship. Is it just applying for a 2/3 year navy scholarship?

It may be different since I am a college programmer re-applicant but I just got an email and then my CO came and informed me.

That makes a lot more sense, thank you.

Your Daughter's MOI is a full bird Colonel? I thought Captain/Major was the norm.

I'm currently a freshman college programmer Marine Option, my MOI says the same thing about being dropped if I don't pick up scholarship by the end of my sophomore year.

I don't know the number of scholarships given out, but I can tell you that being a minority helps you a fair amount.
