Your qualifications appear to make your application competitive. A lot will depend on which particular schools you listed.

A couple of questions come to mind. You excavated a five year old thread - are you planning to major in archeology?

And whatever happened to the enthusiastic and naive True Cadet, who would have been an officer by now?

When I saw this thread dug back up I wondered the same thing. TrueCadet should have graduated and commissioned by now, makes me wonder if he signed a 20 year ADSO.

Would be fun to know if he actually made it through.
 
I actually looked through the posts. 90% of those that replied are gone.

S.Robbie, pulling a thread that is insanely old will not help you, especially for AROTC.

School selection matters.

Spend sometime researching all of the current scholarship recipients.
Use Naviance to see if you are reach/match/safety for your college choices.

Good luck!

OBTW, is it me or many of the new posters pulling insanely old threads?
 
Not sure if there is a lot of new posters pulling insanely old threads. However, is does show they've dine some level of research prior to asking their questions... kudos for that, at least.
 
Thanks guys, and yeah I realized this was an old thread after I posted this. I'll do more research.
 
Good luck,
If you have more questions, feel free to start a thread. BTW I'm still trying to finish old threads and many seem outdated with significant changes in AROTC and other changes in our world.

It severly grinds my gears that some of you guys get the scholarship and then serve your time and then plan to do something else. It's as if your using the army for your college. I was lucky enough to have my interviewer realize that I LOVE the Army and wish to make it a CAREER. I wasnt as competitive as people like you on paper and my grades and pt scores we're average. My interviewer who I became close to called me and told me that I prpbably wasnt going to get selected by the board. So he decided to request my scholarship because I KNOW that I want to serve for a career. Unfortuneatly my friend was not so lucky. He was like me...not as competitive on paper but had a true heart for the army...a never give up heart...but his interviewer was not a gracious and as kind as mine. He did not recieve a scholarship and will now have to get what money he can and get loans for the rest. Why does he have to do that? Cause of people who just use the Army to get their college paid for. And it makes me even hotter when yalls grades are high enough just to get a normal scholarship. But no...lets just use the Army.

A VERY irritated but fortunate ROTC Cadet.
