    NROTC 2 Year Scholarship

    In the past there was a PNS scholarship and it was basically up to CO, I'm not sure if it is still used. I'm sure other posters will chime in with more current info.

    NROTC 2 Year Scholarship

    Looking at other threads there will be 19 2 year sideloads awarded this year. Looks like less than previous years. There are usually 200-300 applying for these. Not having physics 2 and GPA may not put you in a say top 10%. Worst case I think you get advanced standing and your an ensign in...

    DS received a 2 year sideload for class of 2014. In his year there were 175 awarded so it shows the yearly number varies greatly.

    Where Are They Now?

    DS completed SOBC early April and took 10 days to drive cross country with another officer that was assigned to a base in Washington. He flew from San Francisco and was greeted at the airport in Hawaii by the CO and other officers on his sub. He had not arranged housing yet so he is living...

    NROTC - Good news, bad news...

    If finances are not a concern, go to the program that he will enjoy the most. Its getting late in the game so not sure how many transfers would be left. They are 2 entirely different programs SMC vs Boulder. My DD graduated last year from the law school in Boulder and is still there(she loves...

    Should I Reapply?

    Those are solid numbers. Why don't you do AFROTC non scholarship, reapply or stay in with scholarship. Both routes get you to an o-1.

    Miami University (OH) NROTC or Syracuse University ROTC

    I would start out at the school that has the NROTC unit you want to be at. Sign up as a college programmer, work your tail off and get a scholarship. If you start out at a school with intentions of transferring, I'm not sure how much help you will get from the unit in getting your...

    UVa vs. RPI NROTC

    Congrats on 2 great options. I would advise go visit both units to help the decision making process. DS graduated UVA 2 years ago and loved it(wasn't too happy with the game yesterday). That is a real nice perk if RPI does pay R&B. Is the ME program any better at RPI? Maybe, but does it...

    The infamous Question: NROTC vs USNA

    DS had an LOA and appointment by December. He held on to it until May and turned it down . He did the CVV in February and most of the mids were complaining about everything and I think DS listened to it. Anyway he enrolled in a top public without a scholarship, earned a 2year sideload and...

    Final stretch of this leg of the Navy journey

    DS went in almost everyday for study as no material can be taken off base. Study hours are determined by how well you do on tests. If you do poorly, you will be required many extra hours for study. They do want you to pass and seem to know how to get people thru. DS went to Saratoga Springs...

    Final stretch of this leg of the Navy journey

    Congrats to you DS jiller59. As far as time to get to Charleston, just ask PNS-they will give him plenty of time to get there. Where does your son plan on living in Charleston. DS completed NPS last March and lived in Mount Pleasant. It was about a 25 minute drive to School but a much nicer...

    Where Are They Now?

    Meeting DS tomorrow in Baltimore for a send off as his car is packed up and getting shipped to Hawaii. He is driving cross country with another officer that is assigned in Washington State . A few weeks of spare time is a nice opportunity to see some of this great country.

    NROTC Scholarships / Advanced Standing

    It varies every year. For class of 2013 there were none and my sons class 2014 there were I believe 175. It has been higher in more recent years and really depends on the anticipated needs of 0-1's. With that said, the less offered the higher your stats need to be. My DS received a 2 year...

    Service selection usually November.. Nuke interview for nrotc are actually after you have been assigned to subs and usually January. So you could get assigned nuke then not pass the interview-(I think about 1/3 in my sons group didn't pass, but that was slightly higher than normal} Nuke...

    Navy ROTC Submarine Officer

    The selection board for subs is looking for strong math and physics mids. Once you are selected, you go to DC for 3 or 4 interviews and they actually drill you with math and physics questions and they do turn down a fair number at this stage. My DS is almost 2 years thru training and leaves...

    Where Are They Now?

    DS commissioned in May of 2014 and had a report date for NPS in Charleston. in late august. He worked at the nrotc unit prior to the report date. Power school was very challenging but he graduated with distinction(top 30%) being one of the very few non engineers. After NPS graduation he...

    ROTC/ NROTC Advice and Questions

    Congrats on your scholarships. At MIT not sure if there is any pull from admissions or not you will here both sides on this forum but if you do get accepted, the Navy will pay the full tuition. I think it is a cross town unit and not too many students from MIT. There are also some posters on...

    Stanford NROTC

    Although you have good stats, Stanford and MIT are probably the hardest schools in the country to get into. My DS applied to to these schools in 2009 but did not get in. You pretty much need perfect stats or some kind of "hook" to get into these schools. Best of luck.

    Admissions question

    I would certainly be in touch with those units and see if they can get alittle pull with admissions. If you are competitive as a general admit to the school it may help. If you are admitted, the school gets full tuition payment from the NAVY and leaves general scholarship money for someone...

    Nurse Option ROTC Ed delay

    DS had a 2 year sideload NROTC scholarship and his commitment is at least 6-7yrs. He is doing subs and has almost 2 years of training before deployment. Navy is a bit different but they also start full pay at day of commissioning. I think the minimum commitment is 5 years and that would be...
