Improving Chances for ROTC scholarship though Self-Prep

My DS is class of 2020 and interested in applying to USAFA as plan A. Plan B is to get AFROTC scholarship and maybe go to Norwich or another University. If neither of those happen we are looking at Northwestern Prep as self Prep followed by USAFA or ROTC (Plan C). Any info on how successful Northwestern prep is (or other prep schools) at getting 3 or 4 year ROTC scholarships for self preppers? (I mean for those that don’t get an appointment of course). Seems like a reasonable investment given the potential for significant savings on tuition and room and board (potentially saving 100k for instance at Norwich which offers free room and board to ROTC scholarship winners). In case it helps, DS is good student 3.7 GPA, no ACT yet, 2 sport athlete, With lots of other extracurriculars.
Great question Osprey. We are in a similar situation and the conversation that your post generated has been informational for us as well. Thanks for the post and best of luck to your DS.
