Good evening. How can I help?

Would you be willing to answer some questions regarding NROTC and the strength of my DS's application?

How can I help?

Do you know how strong if any influence ROTC has at a school like USC or Penn State?

The NROTC scholarship application process is separate and independent of the civilian College application process. However, if your applicant already knows they have an NROTC scholarship offer, I would encourage them to share that information with the College. My son did just that with Georgia Tech and was accepted.

Awesome! DS was contacted by GT first actually a day after receiving. He applied there and is currently waiting. Do you believe NROTC helped your son?

NROTC is a fine program, depending on the university. My son enjoyed NROTC very much but ultimately decided that the Academy was the better fit for him. He received an appointment to USNA after completing one year in NROTC at Embry-Riddle in Daytona. Still keeps in close contact with his Embry-Riddle Mid brothers.
