Why does Big Navy have different GPA requirements for NROTC mids and navy mids? NROTC mids take the same classes and often have worse professors. Is there logic behind this?

Hey everyone, as you can probably infer from the title, I'm curious, would it look negative on ourselves if we give the same answers as our last officer interview? For context: I am reapplying for the national scholarship, and I already did an officer interview this past January (Pre-Covid, the...

I am going in to meet with a Marine Staff Sergeant in regards to my pursuit of an NROTC Marine Option Scholarship. I only got the ball rolling on this process a few days ago and have not started an official application yet, the SSgt said I would be able to do that once we met. Has anyone had a...

Hey everyone, I'm reapplying for the NROTC National Scholarship for the San Diego Unit, and if that doesn't work out I plan to join as a College Programmer. Does anyone have any experience joining a Unit a year or two later? What kind of effects does it have on you as a MIDN? Are you really far...

Good evening, Everyone. Hope all of you are staying safe through COVID. In my prior posts, I've been asking questions about MOS's and all sorts of big ambitious ideas / plans that are YEARS down the road for someone who is just starting college in August. However, I was sitting around my house...

Howdy y’all, There are so many schools in California w NROTC (state with most from my perspective). How are the schools in CA with NROTC? Any input would be great! Which do you think are some of the best here?

Hello all, So obviously I know you all don’t have the whole picture of the situation, but I’ll try to detail it as best as I can. I’m in NROTC, about to commission at the end of the year. I’ve already had one DODMERB physical and been in perfect health. But this summer, I broke my arm...

For those that have also applied for NROTC, do you apply to the college and NROTC separately? Or do you apply for the college through NROTC? Does the application process also have what's the equivalent of a BGO?

Hello, When I was applying for the USNA, DoDMERB deemed me medically disqualified but said I may be eligible for a medical waiver. Because I was not offered appointment to USNA this year, they did not proceed to review my medical history. So, I was wondering how I could obtain a medical waiver...

Good evening everyone. This is a strange question but I'm curious what the community has to say. I'm an incoming 4/C Marine-Option in NROTC with a 35 ACT, 3.9 High School GPA, and both a 300 PFT & CFT. I THINK I love the idea of going straight into the officer corps, and I'm excited for my...

Howdy y’all, If I join AROTC in college, is it reasonable to still apply to my top choice of another SA branch? (Will this put me behind other applicants for USAFA/USNA? Will I still be able to get a nom from AROTC to USNA?) Thank you.
