I have recently been awarded the 4 year Navy Option Scholarship, (Also ASR), and was placed at a school not on my list of 5 choices. I've spoken with Ms. Parker to confirm that I can not request a transfer, only wait list, to the schools I have listed.
A little background: My application was turned in by the September board, but "no decision" was made until December 7th. Great interview, 1340 SAT, 3 Varsity letters, NJROTC, extra-curriculars/job, 3.4 GPA (this is the very large weak point of ALL my applications), very strong course load in all subjects, particularly math and science (currently taking AP lit, calculus BC, and physics C). I am also a candidate for the USNA, taking my fitness test next week, last component, and would like to study Aerospace Engineering (Mechanical as a 2nd choice).
1 - Embry-Riddle - Already has a large wait list, but I have been accepted and will most likely attend with or without scholarship.
2 - Norwich University - Ms. Parker said this was a "hit or miss", and after speaking with an admissions counselor I feel fairly confident I will be accepted.
3 - University of Florida
4 - Virginia Military Institute
5 - The Citadel - I did not apply, but needed a 5th choice.
From everything I've read, these schools regularly fill up quickly (UF was a surprise though), but all I can do is be wait listed and hope for the best, someway or another I'll be an Naval Officer
