My DS did not get accepted to USNA, so he's deciding on plan B options. He has a 4-year Army ROTC scholarship to Penn State and a 3-year Army ROTC scholarship to a smaller, local university, but wants more of a military school experience and definitely prefers the USMC officer route over Army. He's been accepted to Norwich, but would be a programmer in NROTC. The coronavirus canceled his scheduled visit.
Does anyone have any insight into these questions?
1. How large is the NROTC Marine Option contingent at Norwich? What are the odds of earning a 3-year scholarship assuming good grades, a 230-240 PFT, and other qualifications met?
2. We see that Army at Norwich offers Mt. Cold Weather Co., Ranger Challenge, etc. Are there any similar, exciting options for Norwich Marine cadets?
Thanks.
