Kemp1: just curious, when did you submit your package? we submitted ours in mid-November, by Nov. 15.
I tried that number again and I was told I got a 4 year NROTC MC scholarship and that it would be for one of my top two schools, VMI or Fordham
thanx Maximus for the number

Unfortunately I suspect there is yet another issue at play, the Captain directly told my son that, and I quote "the Marine Corps wants it's Officer Corps to look like it's enlistment and unfortunately you're a white male" un-quote. It's not the first time he/we heard that and I was standing next to him when he (Captain) said it, it was like someone kicked me in the stomach!
i've never noticed anything like that among marine-option nrotc scholarship cadets at vmi! i'm surprised that captain said that. that sucks.
My son received call from Marine Capt Christmas eve with the good news. Said letter would follow shortly.
Just checked online and found out I was selected for the scholarship at my first choice: Embry Riddle!! WHOO
I just checked my status and I've been awarded a 4 year Marine Option scholarship to Villanova university! For anyone perusing this forum in the future, my creds are as follows.
gpa: 3.67 unweighted
SAT: 630 math, 670 reading, 770 writing(im not sure if they even look at it)
PFT: 167
Varsity baseball and cross country(team captain)
Civil Air Patrol--Mitchell award
a bunch of other less important stuff...
Honestly, from things i've been reading, i really didn't expect to get this. So for anyone giving up hope, don't!!! Good luck to everyone and Merry Christmas!
