I have made a similar thread like this before, but now that I have raised my SAT scores and plan to major in a STEM field, I thought I would make an updated one. And I know what all of you are thinking - the scholarship application has closed. However, a Navy Officer that is in charge of the Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico, etc. district informed me that the 4-yr NROTC scholarship will open up again starting April 1st? Does this sound right? If so, starting from now until the end of April, I need to write all the essays, get recommendations from teachers and counselors, take the PT test, and fill out all the required forms.
Does anyone have any advice on how I could do all of the application process in less than a month? What is a good female pt score (I know the min and max but not the average)? Could someone proofread my essay (by email)? How can I make this go as smoothly as possible? Any help AT ALL will be greatly appreciated!
Also, I have provided some info. on my GPA/ courses/ sports/ leadership. Do you think this is good enough?
