    Project GO vs. Summer Internship

    I decided to accept my internship at LLNL a while ago, and now I'm really glad I did. My internship is online unfortunately, but at least it's not canceled. I think the Project GO programs that I got accepted to all got canceled, which is a bummer. Anyway, thanks for all the advice! I ended up...

    Contact ROTC unit

    Definitely reach out to the school. Like @kinnem said, it really depends on the school, but for me I believed it put the icing on the cake for my application. I later reached out to the admissions officer who admitted me, and he said having an ROTC scholarship made me stand apart from other...

    Project GO vs. Summer Internship

    I'm currently in AFORTC, and I really want to become a fighter/test pilot. I grew up speaking Mandarin but have since lost a little touch with the language. I was enrolled in Chinese class from Kindergarten to high school, so I can read and write a little but I wouldn't say I'm completely...

    Project GO vs. Summer Internship

    Hello! I was selected to participate in Project GO in Taiwan this summer through Indiana University. I really want to go, but I was also offered a nuclear physics internship at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory this summer. I'm currently a freshman thinking about studying mechanical...

    Can I leverage my NROTC scholarship for college admissions?

    This is what I did: After receiving 4-year ROTC scholarships for the Army, Navy, and Air Force, I mentioned this in the "Additional Information" section of my college applications (Common App). I then contacted the Army, Navy, and ROTC units by email for every single school I applied to and...

    Leverage NROTC scholarship for U.Mich & GaTech admission

    I contacted GT by email after I got my scholarship, and they said they included my name in a list of ROTC scholarship students they send to the admissions office. A couple months later, I got accepted into GT Early Action. I also contacted the Army and Air Force ROTC units since I received...

    AFROTC HSSP December Board

    I had a question—I was awarded a Type 1 Scholarship, but do they assign you to a specific school like ARTOC and NROTC? I didn't see an assigned unit on my portal.

    NROTC at Brown University

    I have received an ISR NROTC 4-year Scholarship, but I’m still waiting to see which unit they assign me to. However, Brown is a top choice school for me. Brown is very hard to get into. My question is, does getting a NROTC scholarship help with admissions? I’ve contacted Ms. Kimberly Millette...

    Restoring my GPA

    There’s only two more board dates available, so I’d say to apply earlier than later. This will at least give you a better chance since you’re probably going against a smaller applicant pool.

    SEAP (Science and Engineering Apprenticeship Program)

    I had a SEAP internship at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, CA, back in summer 2017! I think it generally depends on the location for how long it takes to hear back; for me, I received an email in January about an opportunity to meet all the professors/mentors and talk to them about...

    Army ROTC 4-Year vs. NROTC ISR

    Hello all, I have received a 4-year Army ROTC scholarship to Princeton, MIT, and Cornell. I have also received a NROTC ISR scholarship (to any NROTC school I think), and I'm waiting on my AFROTC HSSP scholarship decisions to come out on 12/23. I have to accept/decline my Army ROTC scholarship...

    AROTC VS. NROTC with ISR. What are the differences?

    I honestly think NROTC is the better route. Regardless of whether you go through ROTC or the Academy, you end up in the same spot by commissioning into the Navy as a 2d Lt. As a Princeton/Duke/CMU student however, he would also have the benefit of a prestigious education, diploma, and network...

    Results came out for AROTC

    I received a 1540 SAT score (750 Reading, 790 Math), and I also had 800s in SAT Math II and SAT Biology-Ecology. Idk if the subject tests helped, but I did send them in too. I think they look at your academics the most. I wasn't a captain of my club ice hockey team, and my school doesn't have an...

    Results came out for AROTC

    I got a 4-year scholarship to Princeton, MIT, and Cornell! Apparently we have to accept the scholarship before admissions comes out—does anyone know if this is binding though? I'm still waiting on my NROTC scholarship.
