Army ROTC Scholarship PFT

So, I'm applying for the Army ROTC Scholarship right now and this morning I did the fitness test. Im not sure what the official name for it is but I did the 1/1/1 test.
My results were as follows:

55 pushups
38 curl ups
5:51 for 1 mile

I am concerned about the curl ups disqualifying me for the scholarship but I cant find anything that says for certain that they will. Can anyone help me out here? Thanks.
 
Hasn't the deadline for the AROTC Scholarship application passed sometime ago.

Your PFT score performance will not disqualify you. The PFT score is only worth 10.7% of your total board score.

Meaning no offense to any who have posted their scores, it is highly unlikely that either candidate was using proper form, especially the candidate who did 60 pushups in a minute. It is essentially impossible to use PROPER form and execute said form at a pace exceeding one pushup per second, which would generally be the case in the aforementioned situation because even the best pushup studs will rest for a few seconds after knocking out 45 or 50 perfect pushups. The same is true for situps.

Be very careful of the form you're using. Arms need to break the 90* plane in the down position. Elbows must be fully locked in the up position. For situps, the base of the neck must pass forward of the base of the spine. That is farther than most people go on a situp.

Just a thought.

I'm going to disagree... There was a guy on my tennis team who was exceedingly good at doing push-ups and could fire off 55-65 in a minute. It's very difficult but if you practice and are in shape, it's not impossible

55-65 push-ups vs. 55-65 Army standard push-ups are two very different things. You cannot do 65 Army standard push-ups in a minute.

The army push up doesn't look much different from a normal pushup... Or am I wrong? Enlighten me.

-Must break the 90-degree plane with the upper arm
-Must fully lock elbows at the top
-Cannot bend at the waist to rest in a manner that transfers weight to the feet
-Cannot rest in the down position
-Lifting a hand to adjust terminates the event
-Head must remain in line with body

After more than a decade of administering and taking APFTs, I can tell you with certainty that you may do 65 pushups in a minute, but far fewer than 65 will be counted.
