Thank you everyone for the support and advice!
I'm aware that statistically if I were to apply for the tier 3 scholarship it would set me at a massive 15-85% disadvantage, but I was curious how that percentage is calculated. Is the percentage low because of certain quotas, or is it because of a selection bias toward stem majors in the Navy? Also besides the 20-30 spots reserved for the LREC program, does the selection of major matter outside of what tier it falls under?
I'm assuming that regardless of what scholarship or program I pursue, the competition is going to be rough but I'm wondering what kind of stats I'd be going against. One of my NJROTC friends has similar stats to mine right now, and she was awarded an 'immediate scholarship' by the Navy Talent Acquisition group near our school and I was very curious about that. I looked at a couple of posts on this forum about the ISR scholarship, but I'm still a bit confused; what constitutes an immediate scholarship?
Sorry for asking so many questions, I truly appreciate everyone's helpfulness!
