Hello everybody!
I frequently visit these forums (although this is my first post) and would like to thank everyone for all the helpful information provided here.
Now on to the matter at hand:
During October I completed my NROTC scholarship application/interview/package/etc. I am eagerly awaiting results on that! I applied for the Marine option scholarship and my number one choice college was UT Austin (already accepted there and will pay in-state tuition). That university also has an AROTC program.
During my interview, the Captain asked whether or not I had applied to the ROTC programs of any of the other branches. I honestly answered no and was not planning on it (I also indicated this in my application). He said that this was good because it shows my commitment to the Marine Corps.
Now today, I received a random call from an Army recruiter notifying me that an AROTC recruiter will be at my school tomorrow if I wanted to meet with him.
Now the question is, would it be wrong of me or negatively impact me if I applied for the Army ROTC scholarship to UT Austin purely as a plan B if the Marine Corps doesn't grant me a scholarship?
Thank you in advance to everybody!
