Hi guys. I'm a senior in high school and currently working on my NROTC Marine option scholarship application. I have my officer interview later this week, and to say that I'm very nervous about it would be an understatement. My stress comes partially from the interview itself and partially from wondering if I even stand a fighting chance of receiving the scholarship. If anybody could provide any insight as to what information I should have memorized for the interview that would be fantastic. Also, and I apologize if this type of question is annoying, do you guys think I have a chance of receiving the scholarship? I know it's impossible to say for sure, and I won't take this as a sure-fire confirmation that I will get it, but some answers may put my mind at ease. Here are my scores and everything:
