@PantherPride I am in the exact same situation as your son with the shoulder thing but not with asthma. I had shoulder stabilizing surgery last year and have had no problems since. I was awarded the Marine scholarship as a first year college programmer and am currently undergoing the clearance...

I've heard that the NROTC Marine Option selection results were released yesterday but I haven't been notified of results and I've been checking the NETFOCUS portal frequently. It still says "your application is at the Marine corps district for board selection". How did you all get notified of...

early to mid April

Pretty sure it meets sometime around the end of February-early March. Your application will be due on January 31st but after that you still have about 3 weeks to send stuff in including your grades. The last board closed the door for PFT's, ACT's, and GPA's etc. on October 21st. I'd assume that...

I'm applying for the NROTC Marine option scholarship and I got deferred from the first board in November so I'm reapplying for February. However, I haven't done great second semester of senior year (C+ in AP Calc, C+ in AP Bio, B- in AP English, and an A in Honors History). While the classes I...

So essentially if I got the scholarship I would be DQed immediately after the medical exam, then I'd have to wait until my waiver request is approved/denied. My question is, while I'm awaiting DoDMERB's decision, will I be able to stay in the NROTC unit and participate in PT and such? Or do I...

Is it a good idea to talk to my OSO or recruiting officer about my shoulder problems, or is it probably best to keep that information away from them in case they put it on record? I want to get a Marines perspective on what I should do about this situation but I'm worried that if I tell them...

Do you know how these side loads compare to the 4 year scholarships? Are they more or less competitive? Also, how often can you apply for a side load scholarship?

Do you know what will happen if I don't get the scholarship? Will I just be able to enter NROTC Marine Option as a college programmer and begin the waiver process from there? Or do I need to get the scholarship before the waiver process can begin?

What have people told your son? Do they believe that his waiver request will be approved?

Ive always assumed that Marine Option midshipmen could apply for 2 and 3 year scholarships if they don't receive the 4 year. However, recently I've heard otherwise from a few different sources. Does anyone know what the deal on this is? Did the Marines get rid of the 2 and 3 year scholarship...

I am applying for the NROTC MO scholarship and I plan on earning a commission as a Marine officer after I graduate. Only problem is that I have dislocated my shoulder about 4 times and my doctors are telling me that I need surgery to stabilize it. THERE ARE NO TEARS IN THE MUSCLES OR LIGAMENTS...

If you were awarded the NROTC Marine Option scholarship can you please put down your resume. I want to know what kind of chances I have at being awarded the 4 year scholarship at the next board.

Swag, I received it in the mail. I'm pretty sure the board started reviewing on October 20th in my district and I'm in the 9th recruiting district

I just received my rejection letter from the NROTC Marine Option 4 year scholarship board and I have a few questions: 1. Does this mean I will be deferred to the later board in February? The letter said I was not selected for the 4 year scholarship but it did not include anything about me being...

Mudge540, could you show me your resume. It would be nice to see the resume of someone who was awarded the scholarship just so I can have something to compare my resume to. Can you tell me your GPA, SAT/ACT scores, PFT, extracurriculars, athletics, leadership positions and any other factors...

My application is currently being reviewed by the NROTC Marine option early board. The Board began meeting today and I was wondering when I would hear back from them on whether I was accepted for the four year scholarship or not.

Is it a good idea to use smelling salts or drink an energy drink before taking the PFT. I'm taking the PFT again on Wednesday and I really want to get above a 285. Would any of you recommend smelling salts or an energy drink beforehand? If not is there anything else you would recommend that...
