My DS was given an appointment to the Academy in September, NROTC scholarship to MIT in October accepted to MIT in December. We are over the moon!!! Now he has a tough decision to make. His plan is to major in electrical/nuclear engineering. He is leaning towards MIT. Is anyone already involved in MIT NROTC that could give us some answers as what to expect. We have visited the school and have looked at the Batallion Web site and have the general info but it would be nice to talk to someone who has already or is currently going through it.
One of our concerns is oop cost, and how the NROTC scholarship works. Also what about after the 4 years. If you do exceptionally well academically does the Navy allow you to continue your education towards a masters or doctorate???
He is interested in NUKE school of course but what other options in the way of continuing his education would possibly be available to him??
Is it more likely for him to be granted the opportunity to attend grad school after completing 4 years at the Academy or 4 years at MIT??
Sorry so long winded and repetitive but it is a big decision.
