Our son was instructed to put 5 schools (in ranked order of preference) from the NROTC approved list on the application form for the scholarship. They had to be schools he had a good shot at getting into. When his scholarship was awarded, it was to his first choice school...where, unfortunately, he was wait-listed. He asked to switch the scholarship to his second-choice school, where he had been accepted and was being recruited for football. Happily, Pensacola approved the switch and we just dropped him off with his unit today. They left for a week in Newport, where thankfully it's about 10 degrees cooler than at school!
