I have a few questions concerning the NROTC scholarship:
First off, about the Applicant Fitness Assessment- I can pass the pushup and situp components, but my mile time is a laughable 10:30 My academic/extracurricular profile is great, but the only thing holding me back from an A+ application is my mile time. Should I wait a couple months to improve my fitness level, or go ahead and submit those scores so I can meet the first board and just see what happens?
My thing is, I'm planning on attending Auburn in the fall, and I really want a scholarship to Auburn- it's my first choice and in state, and even if I don't get a scholarship there I will probably just join the program as a regular cadet (I know I'm being stubborn, but it's my dream school). Will my chances of getting into Auburn's program on scholarship improve if I submit everything to the board now, or wait a couple months to get my mile time down and pray slots don't fill up?
