    hello. I'm a sophomore in high school and I wanted to know how I can prepare for the NROTC application. like what should I do to better my chances of getting accepted and what requirements are needed so I can get a head start.

    • @anges.4878
      @anges.4878 7 років тому +28

      Ramiro Gallegos Strive to be a leader in everything you do, take challenging classes, get good grades, play a varsity sport, get a 1st class PFT score and you'll also need a qualifying SAT or ACT score. I believe it's 1100 or higher for the SAT they don't super score. You'll be interviewed and will have to answer questions about your experiences as a leader. Community service is important as well. Try to become an officer in a club at school. Check out the NROTC site for more details or contact a recruiter. Mine was super helpful.

      @ACiDiCAnGeL 6 років тому +4

      So I see that this comment is a year old, so I presume that at this time you are nearing the conclusion of your junior year. At this time you will begin to prepare your package. Bear in mind that the NROTC Marine Option Scholarship is very competitive, so you must do anything and everything you can to make yourself stand out. The best pieces of advice that I can offer are that you make sure you are highly involved in high school, as much as you can be, and that you are physically and academically outstanding. Play up every strong quality about yourself. Submit both your ACT and SAT score, as they superscore the ACT/SAT. There are two boards for scholarship selection, so if you are not selected during the first board, correct and better your package for the second one. Lastly, don't give them any sort of sob story or talk about a medical issue. Good luck and PM me for any questions you have. I was selected during the February board of my senior year. :)

    • @cameromnartin
      @cameromnartin 5 років тому +5

      Varsity sports are extremely important if you want to be considered for the scholarship, or even the Academy, this cannot be emphasized enough. Good academics and extracurriculars are also just as important- clubs, honor societies, student publications, JROTC, etc. And if you don't get scholarship, don't be discouraged, you can still apply for the College Program (which is what I did) and still be a part of the unit, but you have chances to pick up scholarships late throughout you next few years.

  • @SadethCheng
    @SadethCheng 13 років тому +1

    @Antiairstrike Once you graduate from the NROTC program, you will be comissioned with the first grade of the officer ranks, a 2nd lieutenant.
    You skip all the enlistment grade (Private- Sergeant). If you want to be an officer, don't enlist in the military because it's harder to go from enlisted to officer. Just get your college education.

  • @ReconMarineX19
    @ReconMarineX19 12 років тому +1

    @KiddRay808 might be possible. They look for a GPA around 3.5 though so you will really need to kick it up. They also look at your ACT scores. If you scored higher than a 22 or 1000 on the SAT you could probably get accepted as long as you can pass the physical fitness test.

  • @SadethCheng
    @SadethCheng 13 років тому

    I'm an MO at UCLA. I find that, especially in the Marine Option program, there is no time for athletics beyond IM sports. Not to say that you don't have a life, but realize that this program takes up a LOT of your time. You will be a midshipman before anything else.
    Realize also that you have to compete and complete your studies at whatever institution; that isn't easy at UCLA, and you are going to have a lot of demands on your time.

    it takes self-preparation as ell as the guidance of the returning 1/C Marine Option Midshipmen that are in their unit. They will train them along with the Marine Officer Instructor. But what is most important is that to be an Officer, the Maine Corp sets it up so that if you want it, you yourself will need to get it. This isn't boot camp, they're not going to push you through.

    OCS is required by the Marine Corps for all officers except for Naval Academy midshipmen. I don't understand what you mean by your question. Other branches consider OCS and ROTC as separate programs. For the Marine Corps, OCS is required regardless of whether you do it by itself (PLC, OCC) or through NROTC. It's simply part of the training.

    You'll be a student first. It isn't a lot of ooh-rah training...if that's what you're looking for you ought to enlist.
    You PT and you take some classes on basic Navy/Marine Corps history and doctrine. Beyond that, life as a Midshipman is the majority of your "training," and that is continuous; you'll learn how difficult it is to lead your peers, etc. NROTC preps MO's for OCS. Training happens at TBS.

      @dante3543 7 років тому +3

      Correct opinion guy, yes you can play a sport while participating in NROTC. It is encouraged, since it will keep you in shape and probably improve your PFT score, depending on the sport. With regards to flying, that is determined after OCS, usually at TBS, and you would have to list your MOS in order of preference. I don't know how your MOS is determined in the Army, so I can't help you with that.

      Yeah, a lot of candidates fail out. Mostly during PLC Juniors or OCC though. If I'm not mistaken, the pass rate for male officer candidates at Bulldog OCS/PLC Seniors is 90+%, at least in recent years. A lot of the harder stuff at OCS isn't even graded anymore at OCS, so if you've had NROTC for 3 years you shouldn't have any excuse to fail OCS (unless you get injured).
