<p>It's been a while since I had a genuinely good question, but here it is. I'm still waiting for an appointment, and I really am confident that I'll get it, but I'm considering what's next if I don't get in.</p>
<p>Well, I have already been accepted to the University of Maryland at College Park, and that's where I will go if I am turned down by USNA. Sadly, I did not ever think to apply for an NROTC scholarship, even though I know for a fact that I can go there and do Navy ROTC at George Mason as a student of UMD. Chances are that I will apply to the Academy again for the Class of 2012, but heaven forbid I decide that I really love the civilian college life, can I apply for a NROTC scholarship next year for the remaining 3 years of college there?</p>
