My son, who is currently a Midshipman 4th class, is trying to find out how difficult it is to get into ODS after getting a PharmD. There does not seem to be much info out there regarding competitiveness of these positions. I posted a similar question in the ROTC forum but didn't get any...

My son, a MIDN 4th class, is trying to keep his options open. He seems interested in remaining technical. He is a chemistry major and has talked about the possibility of becoming a pharmacist. I know that there are Pharmacists in the Navy but all my Googling shows that they completed...

I recently spoke to my son, a Midshipman 4th class at USC (South Carolina), about his thoughts on NROTC. Granted, it is very early in the game, but he told me that he was interested in learning more about being a nuke. I'm pretty ignorant about what this means and was hoping somebody could...

My son received a letter from the Navy awarding him a scholarship to his first choice school. After some reflection on his part, he has decided that he would like to go to what was originally listed as his #3 choice. He has filled out the Placement Change Request For NROTC Nominee. How does...

This is a bit off-topic but I'm trying to find information for a friend regarding Optometry School. His son is graduating with a BS in biochemistry. He is interested in getting some information about a scholarship (to study Optometry) that would lead to him being commissioned in the Air Force...

Can an AFROTC Type 7 Scholarship be used in an out of state school that offers in-state tuition (without being converted to 3-year Type 2)? How does the situation play-out when somebody has a non-ROTC scholarship to a school, as well as an ROTC scholarship? Specifically, my son applied...

My son got an e-mail today with a scholarship offer (conditionally, of course) so I thought I'd open the thread up. Type 7 Major: Chemistry GPA: 3.67 uw, 4.75 w ACT: 34 - comp, 33 - Eng, 32 - Math, 34 - Reading, 35 - Science AP Courses: Junior Year - Chemistry (5), US History (4) ECs: Cross...

It seems like it has been about 4 weeks since I've heard of anybody getting a Navy ROTC scholarship. I know that the board dates and whatnot seem secretive but any guesses as to when the next batch might go out (assuming that I didn't miss some more recent news)?

This is probably in the forum already but I could not find it. I was curious what the board dates and result dates are for AFROTC.

Sorry if this comes across as a bit of a rant but I guess it kind of is. My son finished all of his paperwork and submitted online to the Navy 2 months ago. He then waited to be contacted by the recruiters. When they failed to contact him, he e-mailed them, and again got no response...

I had a generic request about scholarship payback. My understanding is that if you have a 4 year ROTC scholarship that you basically have your Freshman year to decide if it is a good fit or not. You can opt to end your contract at the end of your Freshman year and part ways with the Army...

I asked this question several months ago but this was before my son had taken the ACTs and the PFA. Any input would be appreciated. Here are the stats: Intended Major: Chemistry GPA (unweighted): 3.67 (7 point scale) GPA (weighted): 4.75 (+1 for honors, +2 for AP) 2 APs Junior...

This has probably been answered ad nauseum but I haven't had any luck using the search utility. In my son's original application, he submitted the higher of his two SATs (sitting, not superscore). Today he received ACT scores, which ended up being significantly better than the SATs...

I am curious how important the assessments are in regard to scholarships. How heavily is it considered for Army, Navy and Air Force? I assume it is important for the Marine option of NROTC. Is it more of a check-box for the application process or does it hold some additional weight?

I am curious if AP Exam grades can help with the AFROTC scholarship? In my son's case, he is interested in a Chemistry major. Since he got a 5 on the AP Exam, we are thinking it might be prudent to spell this out in his application. The problem is, we did not see an obvious place to do so...

Sorry if this is a duplicate question, but I cannot seem to find the answer, either here or on the AF site. My son began the AFROTC Scholarship application process about a week ago. He completed the first step, which was very general. It asked questions along the lines of contact info and...
