<p>Just wanted to thank everyone who gave me advice! I listened to all of it and practiced the questions.</p>
<p>I just had my interview with an O-4 this afternoon. Instead of 30 minutes, it went for a hour and a half until we got kicked out when the coffeeshop closed! The advice everyone gave was awesome! I was able to be completely polished on all my answers because of you. I even managed to improvise some jokes on the spot. The only question I was completely unprepared for was something like: “I know that you are well-rounded and can probably get in anywhere, but what if you win the scholarship but then you don’t get accepted to any of your NROTC college choices?” Oops! I think I improvised well on answering that question, although honestly, I’d never even considered that possibility - after all, I’d applied to 9 different NROTC colleges and I can’t imagine being rejected by all of them. At the end of the interview, the LCDR said that I was very impressive and going to make an “outstanding” candidate, and that my recruiter was going to hear about this “personally”. I’m still floating on a cloud! Wheeee! But now the long wait starts… </p>
<p>Again, thanks to everyone!</p>
