The first ROTC scholarship boards (Army, Navy, Air Force) were extremely competitive this cycle, and many strong candidates did not get picked up early. In this episode, we break down what we’re seeing from board results, what profiles were most successful, and what applicants should do right now to improve their odds on upcoming boards. We cover:

Why the first ROTC scholarship boards were so competitive this cycle (and what that means for the next boards)
Air Force ROTC scholarship types, including the new Type 4 ($36,000/year), and what early winners looked like
Why Type 1 winners tend to look like “top of the top” candidates (tests, majors, overall strength)
Why a high SAT/ACT alone will not save you if your interview is weak
Navy ROTC’s “cut line” and why “no news” can actually be good news
Marine Option timing and what to expect from the process
Army ROTC selection realities, plus why retesting fitness and continuing SAT/ACT work can still move the needle
How to take control of your interview by visiting units early and setting yourself up with the right evaluator
