Naval Academy vs NROTC

[Ew3081]

Naval Academy doesn’t offer the chemical engineering major, so I don’t know if I’m going to apply. My gut really thinks nrotc is the way to go, will that look bad if I don’t apply to a service academy in my ap for the nrotc scholarship? I’m NOT doing it for the money I really want to serve my country but chemical engineering is really the major I’m going for and I personally would rather do nrotc and not the Naval academy. Does every nrotc person apply to the service academy. Do they ask in the interview are you applying to a service academy? Will it look bad if I say no?
Thanks

@Ew3081: No need to post the exact same question twice in two different forums.

As far as I know, it isn’t looked down upon. I’m applying for NROTC MO, and not putting an application in for USNA. I’m sure the board understands that service academy’s have a lifestyle not all college students want. If they do put mouth, if any, weight at all on where you have applied, I’d be surprised. Apply for NROTC, you don’t want to regret anything, especially with USNA

And you could always put in an application(although this is a long, arduous, process) and can decide then whether you wish to attend USNA Or NROTC(if you are accepted). Best wishes

I'm locking this as a duplicate thread. You can respond on the USNA forum.
