I have held off on submitting my AROTC application because my PFA scores were not where they needed to be. Now, I can only apply for the third selection board. Is this disadvantageous or is there still a chance that I will get some sort of scholarship?

Should I submit all documents ASAP or can I wait a couple of weeks? (a lot of my coaches/available PFA administrators will be out for winter break in the following week).

Submit ASAP. Boards only the most qualified people, make sure you are one of them before they are out of spots. That being said, submit a complete application. If you haven’t taken a PFA yet, you are not complete. If you ask a coach/PE teacher, i am sure they’d make time for you. Definetly ask and then get your app in as long as you are proud to sign your name on it.

Thanks for the info
 
This thread loosely reminds me of that classic scene in "Annie Hall" - sharing just for smiles.

Alvy Singer : [the man behind him in line is talking loudly] What I wouldn't give for a large sock with horse manure in it!

Alvy Singer : [to audience] Whaddya do when you get stuck in a movie line with a guy like this behind you?

Man in Theatre Line : Wait a minute, why can't I give my opinion? It's a free country!

Alvy Singer : He can give it... do you have to give it so loud? I mean, aren't you ashamed to pontificate like that? And the funny part of it is, Marshall McLuhan, you don't know anything about Marshall McLuhan!

Man in Theatre Line : Oh, really? Well, it just so happens I teach a class at Columbia called "TV, Media and Culture." So I think my insights into Mr. McLuhan, well, have a great deal of validity!

Alvy Singer : Oh, do ya? Well, that's funny, because I happen to have Mr. McLuhan right here, so, so, yeah, just let me...

[pulls McLuhan out from behind a nearby poster]

Alvy Singer : come over here for a second... tell him!

Marshall McLuhan : I heard what you were saying! You know nothing of my work! You mean my whole fallacy is wrong. How you got to teach a course in anything is totally amazing!

Alvy Singer : Boy, if life were only like this!
