<p>Hi everybody,
Recently I posted on these boards asking for help in identifying potential schools and got a lot of good information. I have done a little more research and have identified a couple of schools that at least seem interesting to me. As the title suggests I am also applying for both Naval and Air Force ROTC. That means 2 things: I have a limited number of schools I can apply to (5 for navy 3 for air force) and the people who are reviewing my application for ROTC will be very hard graders when it comes to whither or not they believe I can do well at the schools that I list. What I am asking is for is help identifying reaches (high, medium and low) so I can further reduce my list of schools and dont sugar coat my chances because they wont. </p>
