<p>My daughter first sent in her application ROTC - Navy - and then when she realized she wanted to to Marine - had to contact the Navy people via a phone call and tell them to switch her over to the Marine people. This took some time and then she was contacted directly by the Marine side. This past saturday she had her PFT and interview down here at MCRD, San Diego. She maxed out on the pull up and sit ups and ran a 25:43 3 mile run for a PFT of 271. I asked a DI down there at MCRD last week about PFT scores and he told me a 285 is Superior. So I would guess something in 270’s is pretty good. I have come across some fitness information online which gives the gives useful information. Let me see if you can link on these pages:</p>

<p>I found all these sites helpful.</p>
<p>Also the following site gives you the statistics for last years MC/ROTC Selections and it’s great:

<p>Open this page and on the left click: :Selection Board Statistics</p>
<p>Click on: FY05 NROTC (EARLY BD) to open the page for the stats on the Nov. ( Early Board ) results</p>
<p>Click on: FY05 NROTC (NATIONAL BD) for the later board.</p>
<p>We noted that the Early Board candidates had higher SAT scores, but the later board had higher PFT scores - so pick your poison for your chances.</p>
<p>Our daughter has about a 10% chance to be accepted to USNA, and a 33% chance to be accepted to MC ROTC…so I guess one way to look at things is to see she has 3 times the chance to go Marine ROTC! Her SAT scores are 1380 ( actually 2090, Math 720/Reading 660 but they don’t count her 710/Writing) and 271 PFT - so she certainly will be competitve for a scholarship.</p>
<p>For the record - her heart, like yours BostonUSMC is to “Go Marines!” Thanks for sharing your profile for us all.Wow is all this mom can say!! Good for you!! Our BGO tells us he totally expects an LOA - and an appointment - but so far, we have a CVW and a hopeful, prayerful dream.</p>
