<p>Would an NROTC full tuition scholarship to ND have any weight with Admissions? (providing applicant is qualified?)</p>
<p>the way a NROTC scholarship works to the top private schools like NW, ND, Cornell or Duke, you need to have a couple of thing happen concurrently, you must be accepted by that university, then the Navy selects you for a scholarship, but then you list the top three schools you want to attend and that is where it gets extremely competitive becasue everyone wants that $160,000 scholarsihp (NROTC pays for books, $250/mo and tuition, this would be about $40K/yr).</p>
<p>So the the Navy decides what school you can get the scholarship for.</p>
<p>It really ups your chances if you are a technical major and have good math scores and leasdership and athletics. </p>
<p>Tell the admission committe that your son has the scholarship but he still needs to get in and it is not assured that he will get into the ND NROTC unit. If he gets into ND but doesn’t get the scholarship, he can join the unit , get good grades, impress the Navy unit officer and major in engineering, then he would be about 90% sure of getting a scholarship his sophmore year (this is also when he is committed to 4 years pay-back tour)</p>
<p>Son has received the NROTC scholarship to ND. AROTC scholarship and AFROTC type 1 scholarship. ND NROTC has informed admissions of his scholarship status. Curious if ND looked at this favorably.</p>
<p>I recieved a Tier 1 full NROTC scholarship to ND detachment from the Navy in October, obviously that required me to actually get into ND - which I did, Early Admissions.</p>
<p>No idea if it had any bearing, but I would doubt it pulls much weight, because by recieving the scholarship you are not already obligated to join the unit…so no guarantees.</p>
<p>S-mom, your son has two things ND wants, more engineering students and full paying students, if your son’s grades are good and good math scores, I think your son should be in.</p>
<p>Thanks all. He’ll be a Math major. SAT math 770, ACT math 35.</p>
