Hello!
I am anxiously awaiting the results of the second board. This is the first time anyone in my family has applied for a ROTC scholarship so I am interested in getting some input from those who have "been there & done that."

- CBEF: Answered it as honestly as I could. I have strong leadership skills, but I could not honestly say I am 100% sure I will stay in all 20 years. (I am sure I could successfully complete my obligation, but I don't know what I want to do when I'm 42. I could see myself being in the military, but people changes and circumstances change.)
- PMS Interview: Interviewed via Skype with my first choice. The recruitment officer told me the PMS said it was the best interview he's ever done.
- PT Test: 6:11 mile, 34 push-ups, 58 curl-ups. (I'm a girl-- and on a demographic note, white female with WP grad father. He got to WP kind of unconventionally, so he knows some about the ROTC scholarship process, but not a lot.)
- Student: 1480 SAT; 4.23 weighted, 4.0 unweighted; 7/320 weighted, 1/320 unweighted; 15 AP & Honors classes; AP Scholar Award; Judith Resnik Math & Science Award; Jill Biden Science Ambassador (got to fly with Dr. Biden to NASA and greet Scott Kelly as he came back to Earth)
- Activities: track, XC, NHS, choir, new student welcome committee, NHS, Mu Alpha Theta, church, Glamour Gals
- Leadership: XC/track captain, NHS public relations officer, choir section leader, church youth group president, started Glamour Gals club (focuses on ending elder isolation)-- treasurer and VP
- Volunteer Activities: volunteer snowboard instructor, volunteer summer camp counselor, volunteer Sunday School teacher
- Employment: published article in magazine, newspaper delivery, cashier at baseball stadium, babysitter
- Board Member Scores: Obviously, I have no control over this. I think my essays were pretty good and I got really great letters of recommendation.
- First choice college is Wheaton College, where I have already been accepted.
