Does the same apply to NROTC MO? Will my DS have any better shot at active duty at VT than another school with NROTC? He wishes to be a Marine Infantry Officer. He was accepted at VT (and Corps of Cadets), South Carolina, Miami OH, Penn State, and Rutgers, (JMU also but off the table since no NROTC) into College of Engineering and Computing for each as a Computer Science major. Still waiting on National NROTC scholarship decision. South Carolina has given him the most money ($60K), Miami is next with $36K. VT is last with $12.5 for the ELS. He does not want to go to Penn St or Rutgers (unless he gets NROTC scholarship to one of those units and cannot transfer it). VT is the most expensive option right now given the current scholarships but I'd rather he make the best choice for what he wants to do rather than make a decision on $$ alone. Any advice?
