My son is a rising senior and will be applying to 4 NROTC schools: Penn State main (with Schreyer Honors College), UVA, and GW and its cross town affiliate Georgetown.
1. How do you find out about the strength of these NROTC programs? He will be doing some second visits to each school to learn more and has talked to a number of students but it’s been hard to get information that would help him compare across schools. (Or are they all designed to be the same preparation level for naval service?)
2. Does anyone know about the experience/preparation at an affiliate school vs the host school for NROTC participants? (He was very impressed with GW, but the Georgetown tour guide didn’t know about NROTC.)
3. The NROTC schools are all really competitive (a great thing!) but what happens if you don’t get in to the school you get a scholarship for, and instead you get in to another school on the list?
What he wants is the best possible instruction and preparation for being a naval officer / he wants naval service career… and needs to rank his schools on his 4 yr NROTC application.
Thank you.
