Hello SA forums, just wanted to get some informed opinions on some things and my current situation. I would like to attend the Naval Academy, but I am nowhere near a competitive applicant. The next best thing is NROTC. In the area I live in, there is only one school (School A) that has NROTC. Through that School A there are only two other schools (School B and C) that participate in School A's NROTC program. I'm not sure which school I want to go to in order to be apart of this program, but that is not the crux of this post. School B has a college program for NROTC that is meant for students who did not receive a scholarship and if you are unsure about a career in the military and want to check it out, which would fit my case nicely and that would be the route I would take.
However, my main concern is going about going from NROTC to USNA, how that works, and anyone's own personal experience going through that. I don't want it to seem like my only care is going to the academy because it is not. It is to serve and be an officer in the navy. If that is through NROTC, then it is and that is totally fine. So, if anyone has any insight about their own personal experience or know how that works in general would be great. I put my questions in bullet points so that there are more clear questions you are answering. Thank you! I will try my best to answer any questions you have for me!
- Did you apply to the academy and get rejected or are you a first time applicant ?
- Did you apply for the NROTC scholarship ? Received or not ?
- Share your experience about your time in NROTC and what it was like.
- Share your experience about how you went about informing people of your intent on attending the academy.
- If you are a first time applicant, how did you make yourself a more competitive applicant with NROTC?
(P.S. the names of the schools are hidden because they have my home state in their name)
