<p>I want to become some kind of doctor, so I was thinking of going to a normal college, get a bachelor in biochemistry and go to a medical school. The thing is that my family can't pay much, or rather none. So I was thinking of getting a ROTC scholarship, preferably full 4 year NROTC scholarship, then going to a medical school with HPSP.</p>
<p>So I have some questions. I am an US Citizen, but I don't live in the US right now, but I'd like to attend college in the US, preferably in California somewhere. How would I apply to ROTC scholarship from overseas? I could come to US during summer, to get an interview or something. But I'm quite confused in the process of the application. What should I do? is basically what I want to ask... </p>
<p>How many people get full 4 year NROTC scholarship every year, in let's say University of San Diego or something? What should me SAT score be? What's the interview like?</p>
<p>And... if I want to become a doctor, can I go to a Medical school directly after undergraduate college and serve the duty after I get the MD? To get HPSP, do I have to get in to a medical school directly? Is that hard to do? I heard of 'early decision' for medical schools, what's that? ...</p>
<p>I am so sorry to bombard with questions after questions, but I'm so confused. Please Help Me.</p>
<p>go to the ROTC forums… this is for the academy. its different.</p>
<p>I cannot answer your questions about going to med school after going to college on an NROTC scholarship. My GUESS is that, similar to USNA, there might be a FEW slots per year (USNA is now authorized up to 25 slots for grads to go straight to medical/dental school). The process for USNA is for interested Mids to first “overload” their class schedule to add in several biology courses that are not USNA “core” classes, but which are required for med schools. They must also choose a major that requires organic chemistry OR they must also overload those courses. At the end of 2/C (junior) year, USNA Mids must apply for a med/dental school slot from USNA. Service selection decisions, including those for med/dental school spots, occurs during 1/C (senior) year. In parallel, USNA Mids must take the MCAT, and they must apply to, and gain acceptance to, an accredited medical school. Note that, if a USNA Mid does NOT get accepted to amed/dental school, they are reassigned to whatever service selection spots are still available.</p>
<p>Since your have Internet access, you may be able to apply for an NROTC scholarship on-line. Here is the URL for the NROTC web site. If you click on “apply” you can learn more about the application process and you will find the link to the on-line application. I do not know if the application is open to internet addresses outside the US.

<p>You say that your parents can’t pay for any of your college expenses. Are you aware that NROTC scholarships do NOT cover the costs of college room and board? </p>
<p>Also, you mentioned wanting to attend specific schools in California. Be sure to look on the NROTC web site for the list of colleges and universities, to make sure that the school you want is on the list. Also, be sure to check the entrance statistics for those schools. To complete the requirements for an NROTC scholarship, you must not only win the scholarship, but you must be accepted to the school/NROTC unit to which you are assigned, OR you must request that your scholarship be transferred to a different school.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>You have a much better chance getting medical school if you go Army ROTC than Navy ROTC.
The choses few do go to med school right after college graduation and accumulate their service commitment time.
After college, med school etc plan on serving for a good long time.</p>
