<p>Yesterday I received a letter informing me that I have been selected for a Type 7 AFROTC Technical Scholarship. However I plan on double majoring in Biomedical Engineering and Nursing, neither one being a technical major. I'm guessing I will not be able to activate this scholarship without changing my major which is not an option for me. I was also not selected for a NROTC scholarship. </p>
<p>So my question is do I have a better chance or being commissioned in Air Force, where I can compete for a ICSP and then a Field Training spot or Navy where I will compete for a side load scholarship and then if that fails advanced standing?</p>

<p>Hi! I have no experience with AFROTC Scholarships (didn’t finish app), but have you tried contacting your regional director of admissions? I know there’s a way to request to change your major category for the scholarship. Go Air Force! (Though I’m mainly saying that because I’m in desperate need of a buddy to commute back and forth to RIT with, haha.) I’m sure if you had the stats and wits good enough to get into UR, then you’d have a pretty great chance of eventually obtaining an In-College Scholarship (in case the switching majors doesn’t work out). I think that the inevitable question is what branch YOU really see yourself thriving in. Good luck!</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply, why are you going back and forth to RIT?</p>
<p>No prob! RIT’s the host school for University of Rochester students participating in Air Force ROTC. Rochester only has Navy ROTC on-campus.</p>
<p>Have you figured out your commuting problem yet.</p>
