I’ve been reading this forum throughout my entire application process. I finally received the call that I had been selected for a MO NROTC scholarship. One of the main things that I looked for on this forum was what the past winners stats were. I’ll post mine and hopefully any other winners can post theirs as well for future applicants.

3.5 gpa
Multiple AP/honors classes
National Honor Society

Athletics:

Misc.
Interview went very well
Letter of Recommendation from Active Duty Marine Officer
Very active with my local enlisted recruiter, which my XO knew about

Negatives:
Admitted Mj use 2015 but I believe they understood that I had matured since then and it was a one time thing.

I found it really helpful to see what successful applicants looked like. If any other winners want to post their stats I’m sure it would be appreciated.

For the interview: It went very well. Be comfortable playing mental gymnastics; each of my responses stood firm but relatively dynamic in tone and subject matter.

For the PFT: It’s a game of long-endured mental discomfort. I’m an athletic 135 and 5’6 on a good day. Don’t let the tall, robust Marine archetype intimidate you.

For the EC’s: Commitment is king. Develop a general theme. I think they’d give me a different look if I bounced around with “Sailing Team Captain, “Rubik’s Cube Club VP,” and “Music for Others Co-Founder.”
