I feel like everything is heating up now. Im a rising senior and now I am really an applicant for the NROTC scholarship! Just wondering on your thoughts on my chances. I feel like I have alot going for me.
Academics
Extra Curricular
Sports
This is where I feel I fall short, but on the application I did write in the extra information that with my situation, my job is more important than school sports.
Random info
One of my recommendations who is also my interviewing officer (however I havent had the interview yet) is my NJROTC Senior Naval Science Instructor, a retired Navy Captain who is a graduate of the Naval Academy Class of 1969. I feel like this will really help me. However, I am a tier 3 major, International Relations. Captain does not feel this will affect me that much considering three years ago my school sent a kid to Virginia Tech on an NROTC scholarship and hes a Polisci major. My Captain is also my Blue and Gold Officer haha. My number one school is the University of Rochester. I love that school, I hope I get in and get the scholarship. It is out of state for me so idk how much that will effect anything.
Everything on here is on the application. I even put how I ran for student government this year haha. If you have any thoughts on my chances, that would be greatly appreciated!
