To reiterate my interest in being an officer, I told the interview that I have the money to pay for college out of pocket, and the military is something that is a monetary necessity, but rather a personal necessity. I basically just mentioned that my family set aside money for college since I was born so I can go debt free, but scholarship or not I am going to serve, because I truly want to be an officer in the Navy. I also said that if I didn't get a scholarship I would still do NROTC, because my goal is to lead and protect my fellow sailors.
My question to you guys is if I ruined my chances at getting the scholarship by letting the board know I have the financial means to pay for my education? What I meant to do was show that I'm not in it for the money, but upon reflection I questioned if I did told them improperly by notifying them of my family's financial situation.
Other then this, I thought the interview went well. I provided insightful answer into my personality, and demonstrated interest in a military life. Also, if it helps my grades and test scores are quite competitive, and I have been involved in competitive sports since I was 3 years old.
Thanks!!!
