Hey everyone, currently I'm looking at doing the two year non obligational ROTC before I decide on anything.
I'm majoring in Computer Science and am on the Pre-med track. I am also triple minoring (Chemistry, Anthropology, Japanese) and it will take me 5 years to finish. I don't know how to say this without sounding conceited, but I honestly do think I am smart (2200 SAT/34 ACT.. 68 AP/IB/dual enrollment credits from HS) and I have no worries for the academic side of things. Currently I'm a first semester freshman at the University of Florida with 17 credits and it's been super easy so far. Physically, I'm ok. I wrestled in high school and was in shape at the time. Since then I haven't done much and have degraded, currently I can run a 2mi in 15 mins, do 50 pushups and 60 situps.
I want to do the ROTC for two years. Since I'm going to be here for 5 years, I figured I'd start off ROTC in Fall 2012. That way I could still do a full 4 year cycle if I wanted.
Anyways, what I was wondering is what branch should I look at?
What are the differences at the ROTC level between branches?
What scholarships would be potentially available to me (looking at a future in medicine)?
