Could you explain why switching to reserves was such a good decision for you? Thanks.

Being only an highschooler AROTC scholarship applicant right now, I can't say I have any professional or worthwhile advice concerning your situation. I would like to say, though, I really admire your drive and passion for your new-found goal (USNA), and I think it's very inspiring the way you...

I mean how can we lol...worst wait ever

Thanks for the input. And yeah, I have spoken with him about campus-based scholarships, sounds like they have some good stuff to offer (Wheaton C) My main concern is that most applicants, and certainly (as far as I know) almost all applicants who get a national scholarship, have done a lot of...

Should be before the end of the month, maybe a week from now?

This list is so helpful, thanks for making this!

Hey all, Honestly, I have been worried sick/stressed after not getting the scholarship in January, and I want to know y'all's honest opinions on whether you think I have a good chance of getting either a 3-year or a 4-year, and why. I was offered an ECP after the Jan board, but that's not...

Anyone know why this is? They didn't do that in January.

Is that the one that there are only like two hundred offered this year?

Everyone's status should show boarded during the board dates (in this case 13-17th). Boarded simply means that they are reviewing your file. Thus you can't really take it as either a good or bad sign. :)

Wishing everyone best of luck in the last board. For those who do not get a scholarship through the National process, remember that there are still regional and campus-based scholarships available if you decide to follow through and participate in ROTC(as I plan to). Over all, consider it an...

They are from the same pool I believe.

Usually 1-2 weeks

I understand that pull ups can be daunting, but you just have to do them all the time (every day/every two days), and they will become doable. Then once you can do about 5, it will be much easier to improve if you practice. After about 12-13 it gets harder, but you won't need to do more than...

Ok interesting! And yep, my intended school (Wheaton College) also offers room and board.

I just retook the test again and was much happier with my results. 51/58/6:03

I didn't know there was any such thing as a 3.5 year scholarship. How did he get that?

Thanks so much for the info! Is this the plan you were talking about? http://www.stewsmith.com/linkpages/stuck_on_pushups.htm My pushup weakness seems rather strange to me, because I can generally do 13 dead-hang pull ups in a set.

For anyone who did receive a 3-4yr scholarship, could you share what you got on the PFT? Thanks. My stats were a little low but I have definitely improved since then and will take it again before the March board. Here's what I got in December: Pushups/min: 42 Situps/min: 51 1-mile run: 6:22

Thanks, best of luck to your son too!
