<p>Is it worthwhile to use the "additional information" part of a college app to inform a school that the kid has listed it on the AROTC scholarship app? </p>
<p>What would be the drawbacks to doing so? </p>
<p>Could it be beneficial to admission chances?</p>
<p>:confused: Thanks.</p>
<p>I canāt think of a single drawback, but I donāt know a lot about AROTC. What are your concerns?</p>
<p>doesnāt the college app ask if ur doing rotc?</p>
<p>Well, I just searched the common app and the term āROTCā didnāt return any results. So I donāt think it asks.</p>
<p>Iām not sure what Iām concerned about. I guess that maybe āadditional informationā is the wrong place to mention it. Or maybe that telling a school āI like you so much I want to ROTC youā looks desparateā¦especially for an applicant on the bubble. LOL. I dunno. </p>
<p>:
: ROTC is so foreign to us we really donāt know what to do with it.</p>
<p>I think it shows them the love, especially for a kid on the bubble at a college protecting its yield. Has he contacted the ROTC office of the school?</p>
<p>Not yet, but he will. Weāre doing an informational meeting with a local school soon. Then heāll reach out to his #1 choice after he feels better informed.</p>
