Woo~~! You had me worried there for a moment. When Monday rolls around, I will get to talking to the NROTC unit at my university. Thanks for the insight :thumb:

So, if I understand this correctly, the 3 year program does not pay for tuition? And that it only pays for naval science courses, uniforms, and book fees?

Hello, I was wondering if anyone had information on the NROTC College Program. In my case, I switched my major from nursing to mechanical engineering. Nursing was what my NROTC scholarship was designated for, so I had to drop it to pursue what I really want to do. I figured that I'd pay my...

The thing is that when I applied for NROTC over a year ago, I did not know exactly what I wanted to do, so I signed up for nursing. But throughout that period of time, I found that mechanical engineering suited me. I would study mechanical in college, but I'm not sure if I can switch from a...

Hahaha, thanks for the reply. Before I posted, I took a quick glance at the stickies (key term being "quick glance":rolleyes:), and didn't see it at first. Cheers!

No TWE in the mail, but I did call and was told that I did not receive an appointment.... BUT, I am hell-bent on reapplying :thumb:

Hello everyone, today I got the news that I did not receive an appointment to the Academy... I did not have a strong run the first time around (being a US citizen in Canada complicates things), but I am hell-bent on reapplying next year as I follow my Plan B. My question concerns majors, but...

I have yet to get my letter in the mail as well; however, I called the academy admissions office and they redirected me to my regional director. He was able to tell me that the academy had sent its correspondance already, and that I should expect it in the mail. Give 'em a call, see what...

From Nevada and still waiting too!

I've seen a few threads for NC and MD, but I didn't feel like hijacking anybody's thread... So, does anyone know how competative the state of Nevada is for receiving appointments? I received my nom in January... and have only just been deemed medically qualified by DoDMERB. But it's killing...

Thanks for the information everyone, I just wanted to make sure. As far as I know, I'm a perfectly healthy male student, it's just been a hassle getting my medical completed because I'm in Canada and got my medical completed by a private physician. Getting the issue resolved today :thumb:

Hello again everyone, My DoDMERB has been difficult completing because I currently reside in Canada. I have submitted my forms, but learned today that I need remedial eye examinations. Will not having been cleared by DoDMERB keep me from being considered for an appointment? Cheers! And a...

Hello everyone, I am a candidate for the USNA and a recipient of the NROTC scholarship, and I was wondering if there was a deadline to submit my forms for DoDMERB. I currently reside in southern Ontario and had some issues getting a medical completed at an embassy, so I had to go to a...

Hello everyone! I received my DoDMERB packet from USAFA early November, shortly after I was notified of my selection for the NROTC scholarship and my placement at Norwich University. My dilemma is that I live in Canada, southern Ontario to be specific, and I have contacted the US embassy...

I have just now checked my online status and it now says "Congratulations! You have been selected for a 4-yr Nurse Option scholarship. You are assigned to the NROTC Unit at Norwich University." Now that I have been selected, do I simply send an email to NETC to request the program change?
