Hi, I am just starting my application for ROTC scholarship. (ARMY) I understand there are three different deadlines (Board Selections), and that the first one is October 7th. I actually don't know if I'm able to complete my entire app/interview before that, but I might be able too.
I heard that submitting your scholarship for the 1st selection increases your chances of getting accepted because they view it again for the second and third board. On the other hand, I also heard that they only look at your application once. I'm wondering the validity of these statements, as I may possibly try to speed my application before the 1st deadline if there's an advantageous boost.
Should I try to make it for the first board selection? (Perhaps sacrificing application quality)
Or does it not matter, and I should just wait for the second?
Note: I'm applying as a nursing major; is this major heavily impacted?
