Hello, I am looking to address a question that has come up for me the over the last couple weeks. I’ve read language about a “point” system at the board meetings(I’m interested in NROTC MO, if that makes a difference) and basically, you’re package is reviewed, and you are given points based on...

So then NROTC has a nationwide ranking like the OML in AROTC? If so, are Marine Options included in that?

Are you in NROTC?

Thank you very much, this post was very helpful

Hey guys, Is there a ranking system in rotc units, specifically NROTC? If so, does it mean anything, or is it kind of like a miniature simulation. I thought I read something about it somewhere but I could be wrong. Thanks

My apologies, I meant to say 4 year scholorship as a senior vs as a college freshman. And yes, it is MO. I have not gone through the process yet, but am just wondering if there are any differences in terms of competitiveness and, like I said, procedure.

Hello everyone, Obviously the NROTC scholarship is a very very competitive scholarship, but I was wondering if there were significant differences between the 4 year scholarship app as a senior vs as a senior. One other question is whether I will need to redo my interview, and if it will be with...

As Kinnem said, it really is just a fear of what could happen, and to be quite frank, the intangibles of honor and giving back to my country don’t intermingle with their values too much. And I am the oldest of 4, so they also don’t want my siblings looking at me thinking the military is okay. I...

I would be 18 when I start college, so if I end up not being able to apply for the 4 year this time around, I will still apply next year for sure, and also join as a college programmer. My next question is, if I apply next year and receive the scholarship, do I still get to do the summer cruise?

Hello all, So the 4 year NROTC MO scholarship is for those with less than 30 college credits. If I apply as a college freshman, say, for the early board and get it, would the second semester be covered? Thanks

Haha... I have been asking... to the point of them threatening to disown me. It’s a tough situation. I don’t expect them to support me, ever, I just was hoping to apply for the scholarship at least. I’ve been working hard for years, I suppose another year won’t hurt

Hey guys, unfortunately I don’t think I will be able to apply this year as I will need parental consent for parts of the application. I plan on applying for the sideload my freshman year. Thanks for the advice

Regarding Annapolis, I gave it some thought, but realized ROTC fit me better than a service academy, experience wise

Thank you all so much for the words of wisdom. I will keep talking with my parents, and hear what they have to say. Thanks to everyone

Hi everyone, I was hoping to receive some advice from the parents out there. I am currently looking to pursue NROTC MO in pursuit of a commission into the Marine Corps. I am very passionate about becoming an Officer in the Corps, however, my parents are not. To the parents, what helped you to...

Hey everyone, I had one concern in my essay that I was hoping I could get some non-biased eyes to look at. My concern is that I may come across as kind of tooting my own horn at points in the following essay: I have lived a life where war wasn’t a major part of my life, where I can speak my...

Hey guys, I am currently finishing up my application, and I am stuck on whether to list Tulane or USC as my first choice. Due to the new fact that all accepts will receive their first choice, I would like to get it right the first time, so that I don't run the risk of losing my scholarship due...
