Have you met or spoke with the Cornell NROTC unit regarding your interest in their unit and Cornell? Back in 2008 my son was very interested in Cornell and we met with the unit commander and officers. They were very excited to meet a potential qualified candidate and instructed us that unlike...

My son was able to take Farnsworth Lantern test at SUNY College of Optometry in Manhattan, NY. I believe it cost $250 at that time (2010).

Your son can join the NROTC unit as a College Programmer and excel in his academics, PT and NS classes. He would then be in the position (with the recommendation of the unit commander) to pursue a 3 year PNS scholarship... this path has worked for my son.

I am interested if anyone would know what percentage of 2011/2012 NROTC midshipmen received their first or second choice Occupational Specialty Assignments. It was my understanding that top grades/PT scores from a top school would give you the best opportunity and first choice... but I have...

Kat, Keep trying...Ask the CO about the PNS scholarship. Also contact your congressman, senator, the Sec of the Navy, etc. and make your case... sometimes outstanding students/citizens are overlooked. I experienced a similar situation with my son and he was rewarded with a 3 years scholarship...

I would like to thank everyone for their feedback. My son did apply for a NROTC scholarship while in HS and was denied. It might have been because he is a tier 2 major but with the understanding that 20% of scholarships were being awarded to non technical majors and he was ranked in the top 1%...

I am the proud father of a 3rd Class Midshipmen at the Harvard/MIT NROTC unit. He is one of two Harvard midshipmen from the class of 2013 and the only one not on scholarship. It is hard to understand how he could be accepted to Harvard (7% admittance rate) and not be deserving of a NROTC...
