jwlstn, I am a little confused by your perception that the 4-yr AROTC scholarship is not competitive. My son was offered 3 different full 4-yr AROTC scholarships, a Level 2 AFROTC Scholarship (full, 4-yr, just not quite as much as Level 1 - those only went to prospective engineering majors), as well as a West Point appointment. Our experience was that only those who were highly competitive were being offered the full four yr opportunities. Even then, cadets at civilian schools have a year (or in some cases, 2 years) fully paid in the ROTC program to decide if they wish to continue all four years. Most of the students we knew who were entering ROTC programs were not being offered the 4-yr scholarship straight out of high school, but rather a 2 or 3 year full-tuition after they had been in the program for at least a year.
