You gotta be a good hunter. You gotta be able to hunt with other people as a team. You might sometimes hafta hunt alone. You gotta be able to kill. And you absolutely must be mentally and physically able. Not a pusss. I don’t think you can do it.
It means you must be enlisted into the Marine Corps with the MOS Field of 0300, Infantry..For example ..you cant be a cook or an MP if you want to be a sniper..
This is where the Snipers are selected from..You must be in the infantry for you to have a chance at getting into sniper school.
Male, volunteer

Or:
Two of the better ways of becoming a Scout/Sniper are through a Recon unit or an Infantry Battalion.
First join the Marine Corps with an Infantry MOS. While in Boot Camp you will need to shoot Expert on the rifle range, become at least a second class swimmer and score a high first class PFT.
Upon completion of Infantry training you will be given the opportunity to volunteer for Recon or Force Recon.
If you successfully complete their indoc you will be sent to a Recon unit where you will first qualify as a Recon Marine then given the opportunity to volunteer for Scout/Sniper School.
BN Recon and Force Recon have school seats assigned to them for every S/S School.
Lastly:
The other way is to be sent to an Infantry Battalion and then volunteer for the Scout/Sniper Platoon.
The S/S Plt runs indocs annually and pulls in personnel from the BN.
Each Sniper unit runs its own version of the indoc but they are all extremely difficult. Once in the unit you will go through all the training to become a sniper before ever going to S/S School.
Once at the school you will be expected to have all the basic knowledge of a Scout/Sniper and the advanced knowledge of an infantry Marine.
You will show up with everything that you will need to make it through the school including your ghillie suit.
There are no second chances at the school and drops are a daily occurrence.
Marine Snipers are generally regarded as the best snipers in the world.
