I am in the process of sending out my app. There are only two things that I think are really important here.
1) Get on the Navy.com website get to the ROTC page and fill out the online app part. This part is key. Get on there and fill it out ASAP. A recruiter will call you once you submit it. (at least thats whats supposed to happen) In my case the recruiter called me before I submitted it but its a long story.
Fill it out early! don't be like me and be finishing it the morning of your interview
2) Get on your teachers about recommendations. I had my interview over a month ago, my app still hasent gone out cause its summer and its hard to get teacher applications. I am sending emails and calling constantly trying to move this along.
Ok so 3 pieces of info....
3) at your interview know your stuff! and dress decently I wore a kaki pants and a button down shirt tucked in, no tie.( he told me I looked sharp, and I knew my stuff.) When i say know your stuff I mean the recruiter wants to see if you actually want to join the navy (not just take the Navy's money) I was asked simple questions like. "If/when you graduate from college what rank will you be?" yaddda yadda.
Again submit the app early! The eailer you submit your package the better chance of getting the scholarship. Love your recruiter without him you are down the creek.
Ok so more than 3 pieces of info... goodluck
