Can someone help me determine whether or not it is likely that I will receive a 4 year scholarship for Army ROTC. I‘m applying in the final board for this ROTC season.

Stats
-4.0 GPA (technically p - 93.54 Three year at a private high school in NY)
-31 ACT - 31 Math, 33 English, 31 Science, 29 Reading
-Boys State elected mayor
-3 year varsity athlete with school letter
-2 years of Lifeguarding
- 6:59 Mile, 35 push-up, 35 crutches
 
You're a strong candidate but I don't think anyone here would venture a guess. We didn't read your essay and we weren't in your interview. I would also say your leadership doesn't look as strong as one might like, unless you forgot to mention something. You're in the running but be sure to work the backup plans.
 
Perhaps review the army fitness test standards.
 
These stats look good and what kinnem said makes perfect sense. From what I know, my kid's stats are not as good as yours (kid won a 3 year scholarship, so that's probably the reason why) so I'm left assuming that they nailed the interview and had a good essay. Also, I'd try and get those push-ups and curl-ups reps up.

How did the interview go? My understanding is that the interview is one of the biggest independent factor.

I have the interview on Friday and I have been prepping for the interview for a while - I did the interview for NROTC and it went very well so we'll see how it goes

Yea I left out quite a few EC's - I already received the NROTC scholarship but I was hopping to receive the ROTC nursing option scholarship to another school

Always a good idea to ask for your chances and not provide all the information. That's a useful approach. I suppose I would have the same assessment though, since we still wouldn't know the same stuff I mentioned earlier.

4+ of 6. Low pu/crunches. Alittle light on leadership but Boy’s State goes along way. But you are going for nursing so all of this is mildly interesting. How much math and science did you take? Nurses are judged generally and separately by how likely they are to complete nursing school. What schools are you interested in? Lots of unsolicited advice for nurses...
 
You have a strong profile but will need to pad it more with leadership and better pushup and situp scores.
