My son has an NROTC scholarship in hand to his first choice school - Notre Dame. He was deferred in in the Early Action round for ND. We are hopeful that he will get in in the RD round - but it is definitely not a given - Notre Dame is a bit of a reach. He and I want to be ready to transfer his scholarship immediately if he fails to get into ND. He has gotten into VATech and Penn State which are the 4th and 5th schools on his scholarship list. He is also still waiting to hear from UVA (2nd on his list) and Michigan (3rd on his list). We anticipate hearing from ND prior to UVA or Michigan.
Two questions -
a) If he is denied from ND - should he try to transfer the scholarship to UVA - with the hope that he gets in there - and then try to transfer it again he he fails to get into UVA?
b) Is there any value in proactively reaching out to the UVA NROTC leadership to discuss the situation?
Thanks!
