Hi I'm extremely confused with the acceptance of army ROTC scholarships process.
I have been offered 3 scholarships, but only one is to a school in my top 3. I updated the list and applied to new schools too late, after I had already been given scholarships to schools I no longer wish to attend.
I contacted another of the schools in my top 3, and they said they would help but I have not heard back in a while. The third in my top three was extremely unhelpful.
I have until January 17th to accept or decline, and I called Cadet Command for an extension but they refused. How is it fair that people who complete their application earlier have less time to decide?
I have not actually gotten in to ANY colleges yet. What if I don't get into the places I was offered a scholarship? Some people say I can switch the school later, but others say this is not true. What is the truth? How could I possibly switch it later to a school that didn't offer a scholarship yet?
Side note: does a 4 year scholarship mean full ride? How can we know the amount given? Sorry, I'm really couting on this and its necessary to have a scholarship to the school I go to.
Overall, is there anything I can do now? Should I just accept one and see what happens? Even if I end up not getting in to the school or not even liking it? (I haven't even had time to visit yet!)
Thanks for the help in advance.
Sorry for the length.
