Alright! I'll probably see everyone at orientation. Can't wait for all this to begin!

Just got word: no scholarship. Not a big deal, plan b now in effect. NCSU as Marine option college programmer!

85% of scholarships go to tech majors. You can get one for a non tech major it's just harder.

Scholarship you can pick up as a college programmer in NROTC. They're 2-3 year and have the same benefits as the 4 year one. It's what I'll be going for!

A nice sports watch or good pair of sunglasses would be really useful!

Both of these schools have excellent NROTC Units and academics. Kinnem is right, NCSU has a much stronger engineering program, but UNC is known as a more "elite" school. I like that NCSU is less "liberal artsy" than UNC, but other than that there's not much drawing me to one specifically. I'm...

Yeah I've liked the Cary area a lot especially compared to San Jose, CA. I want to go Marine Corps or Naval Aviation (Pilot or NFO). Majoring in Computer Science.

Yeah I've been to both so many times I'm definitely going to use NROTC to help.

So to join the NROTC unit at say NCSU for MO you'd just have to sign up for the required classes and PT, then pass the PFT? Also, when would you have to pass the PFT?

Thanks for the input! I plan on talking to the Det. at my school of choice and finding out the specifics of the sideload scholarships. Also, yes I do plan on telling my Dad as soon as I move out and into an apartment/dorm. There is a chance he'd just kick me out of the house now if i told him...

Hey all, So hypothetically, if one wanted to be a Marine Corps Officer, but recieved the NROTC scholarship (Navy Option), would the better path be to A) Go on scholarship and attempt to make the switch later on B)Decline the scholarship and go MO as a college programmer. Thank you! (P.S I...

Mine did the same until I called the coordinator , and he got them to send them in finally

Sup bro, The only thing I can think of is to bring your test scores up a bit. Other than that, your stats look awesome! 19 pullups is really good in particular !

Waiting for boards

As a teenager I can confirm that parents "just don't understand" haha

Reading that was amazing

I've been told that the portal was again updated today; still no word for me. Any idea how many boards are left as of now? Thanks!
