Thanks! These all helpful answers. I have a follow-up question. If I wind up going to my state school for NROTC in my chosen degree program (aeronautical engineering), they have a 4-year plan laid out that calls for only 1 semester of chemistry (fall freshman year) - only one semester is...

Thanks. I'm not giving up hope. Also, I am eager for NROTC and I understand that I may fall in love with my school and NROTC and not want to reapply. I'm asking, I guess, because I'm the kind of person who likes to understand my options and what I need to do. As hard as it is sometimes, I get...

I know that there is still time before most of the TWEs come out but I'm trying to get prepared to decide if I should re-apply for 2024 while a freshman NROTC. I honestly don't know if I will do this but I am leaning that way. I read in the sticky for re-applicants that we should contact the...

When do colleges usually start sending out acceptances/rejections for people who applied RD? I heard back from my state U but still waiting on the others. Also, I got this letter yesterday from my state U that says they are going to tack a $1,000 fee surcharge per semester for engineering...

Status: Received ROTC Classification: Navy Board: probably 1st or 2rd - awarded in early Nov. Scholarship Type: 4yr tier 1 Demographics (Optional): Gender: Male Ethnicity / Race: not URM Academic Information: SAT: 760 R/730M ACT: 35 single sitting (36M, 36S, 34 R, 33 E) Unweighted...

Can anyone recommend how I might leverage my NROTC scholarship to help me get admitted to a college? (Or whether I should). In my essays, I mentioned that I have an NROTC scholarship and talked about how I feel that I would be an asset to the student body by representing an important point of...

Thank you! This video was great and very helpful.

Question: Is this change intended to make this indoctrination more similar to USNA Plebe Summer (Plebe Summer-lite?) (IOW, are we talking "haircuts")?

Thanks Go Dores! That is good to know.

Thanks for the advice. I used to think I was a pretty good USNA candidate - you know, way back in 2018. :) I hope I still am. Lots of candidates are in the same boat as me - seeing people getting LOAs and the appointment thread starting to fill out. I know it's early still. But it's out of...

I received an NROTC Tier 1 scholarship in early November. I did not apply ED to any of my 5 colleges because I am also applying to USNA. To place my NROTC scholarship, I picked a potential reach school (not an Ivy). Three of my other four colleges are public Big Tens, with one being my state...

So, this is want I get to look forward to in the Navy? My grandpop served as an ensign on a troop carrier in the Pacific during WWII (engine room) and he told me (before he past away) that they kept their coffee pot on some steam pipes so it would boil down to sludge before they drank it. Mom...

Was your MOC's term ending on January 3 (not re-elected or didn't run)? That's what happened to me. My Congressman had always done interviews until this year. I didn't hear anything from his office concerning interviews and I got worried. They gave out noms without interviews for the first...

Stupid question but I'll ask it anyway. Can Mids (including Plebes) bring coffee into classes? I've turned into a big coffee drinker during the day - regular black coffee (not that foamy stuff). How about in their rooms during study periods?

Thanks again. Was notified this morning on my portal that I received my MOC's nomination.

Just to follow up for those who helped me. I did finally manage to get through to my Congressman's nomination staff member. The person who had the job (and who I had the contact numbers/email) quit in October and has literally left the country. The staff member now handling the process is new...

One other question - I thought I read somewhere on this forum (can't find it now) that an outgoing MOC has until Jan. 21 to submit slate and a continuing member has until Jan 31. Is that right?

Thank you for your advice and your insight. When I interviewed with my BGO in August, he said he was familiar with our MOC and his process (and he handles other schools in our district). He also said (FWIW) that I was a very strong candidate and he would be "shocked if I didn't get a...

Wondering if anyone knows if there are MOCs who schedule their interviews between Christmas and New Years. Here is my dilemma. My congressman's deadline for submitting nomination applications is Nov. 30 of each year. He says on his website that he conducts interviews in December and submits a...

I have been CPR since early September. I am planning on submitting a new CFA in the next week or so. I was above average in all events when I took it at NASS but I can now probably max pushups and situps and I added 4 pullups. A PE instructor at my school agreed to administer it. Do I need to...
