I was awarded an NROTC interview this past week but with all my application sent out I’ve started to look into all possible admission outcomes. I found that some of my top options aren’t NROTC school, particularly NYU and Uchicago. My ultimate goal is to serve my country, and while the Navy is my primary option, I would be willing to seek commission in the Army as well.
My question is if I applied very close to the document deadline if February, would my chances at receiving a scholarship be diminished. For reference, my NROTC scholarship was awarded upon first review of my application since when I submitted the entire package, only one board occurred. I understand that AROTC is a completely different process so I don’t want to extrapolate any measure of competitiveness from my experience with the NROTC process. Since NYU is by far the most expensive school on my list, I would like to have a way to cover tuition while being able to serve, but I’m worried that a late application will put me at severe disadvantage since the scholarship quota may be already filled.
