<p>Sorry, just saw this. No, your scholarship alone will not effect the application to the school. The officers at the unit can try to recommend you to admissions but that does not guarantee that it will help. The fact that they were willing to recommend you to admissions shows that the unit wants you to go there, so that’s good news. </p>
<p>Congrats on the ROTC scholarship! I wish you the best of luck in your military career.</p>
<p>I have applied for NROTC- Nursing Option and have checked my status every couple of days. Before today, it just said that my application is being reviewed and stated the stats of my application. Today I went to check and was taken to a NETFOCUS Login page. What does this mean? Now I am unable to check my status, because a CAC card is required to login which I obviously do not have. Any thoughts from you on what this might mean would be VERY helpful. Thank you.</p>
<p>I hope you have some thoughts on this because I am clueless!</p>

<p>First of all, thank you in advance.
I am a junior in high school and have a 3.64 weighted GPA with and upward trend. I attend a highly competitive high school (1st in county, 7th in state, 78th in nation) and got a 30 on my act without having taken trig and believe I can bump it up to a 31. I played baseball my freshman and sophmore year, but had to get a job this year and now work ~20 hours per week. I have taken 3 AP classes this year and am taking 4 next year. I am also involved in community service clubs and am about a 50-50 shot of holding a leadership position next year. I guess my question is am I a competitive candidate for army ROTC and how I should apply to schools (whether there should be reach or safety schools on my ROTC app). Thanks so much</p>
<p>I would think you’d be competitive for AROTC. There should always be at least a couple of safety schools on the app.</p>
<p>My D is a freshman at an Ivy and wants to go to med school. She’s on an NROTC scholarship. We are hearing that it has become extremely difficult to get permission to go to medical school after completing the ROTC program. Do you know where we can get facts/statistics on this?</p>
<p>I read somewhere that 25 NROTC midshipmen (nationwide) per year were allowed to apply to medical school. You D should definitely have a back-up plan. If Medical School is her real goal in life (rather than being a Naval Officer) she should reconsider continuing in NROTC.</p>
<p>Last year zero people were selected to go medical (excluding people, such as OCs, who were on a specific medical track). It’s not impossible but it’s highly improbable. If she wants to be a doctor more than she wants to be in the navy, she should consider dropping rotc. But if she doesn’t mind going active first and then going to med school after her commitment is up, then by all means, stay in the program. </p>
