<p>Agreed, you should get in. Especially with the ROTC scholarship. BU is military friendly and, by the way, offers free room and board to some their best ROTC scholarship students.</p>

<p>Just to nail this down, if you could visit BU and personally talk to both the ROTC cadre and the BU admissions officials, it might get their attention (in a good way). If you cannot visit, don’t worry. </p>
