| LFWB looked at Cal, USC/UCLA, and Colorado, Bolder. Was impressed by the programs at USC/UCLA and Colorado. Not impressed by Cal's program
Interestingly enough, Colorado Bolder has the 4th largest unit in the country. | |

| dozermn1119, I don't know what part of the country you're interested in but my S just finished his soph. year of NROTC at North Carolina State University. It is the largest unit in NC (bigger than both UNC-CH and Duke) His experience with the unit there has been very good. | |

| Does anyone know how difficult (impossible) it would be to transfer to a different college and take his NROTC scholarship with him? Wondering if S gets to his college - Tulane - and is not happy there...anyone heard of transfering to a different school/unit either at the end of the semester or end of the year? I don't mean to sound negative--but always want to have a 'fallback plan"...
thanks | |

| I think if that situation arises you would need to call the NROTC unit at the school he wishes to transfer to. They would probably have some say in whether there is a slot available in their unit. If there is room, it doesn't seem like it would be a big problem. I know with my S's unit quite a few dropped out during and at the end of the first year. | |

| hey--thanks pack mom!
I think i am just getting nervous about sending my s off to a school 1000 miles away with no friends and no fallback--I'm sure he'll be fine...but at the Tulane sight--it seems like it is SUCH a party school and he is NOT...
we are visiting for orientation in a couple of weeks==so i'll keep ya posted! | |

| If anyone is still interested, the fact that Notre Dame has the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff coming to it's NROTC Navy Ball this year should be an indicator. | |

| I have a question about Army ROTC scholarships. S is applying to 4 colleges. Three of the programs he's applying for (film production) are very selective. One is his safety. How does he apply for an Army ROTC scholarship to all 4 schools, since he doesn't know which one(s) he'll get into? | |

| when he completes the online application you are asked to pick schools. I think it is up to 8. Anyway - he can do his interview at any school. He should visit all 4 schools and hopefully one is a "safety" school.
With an Army ROTC scholarship you can and may be offered a scholarship before you are accepted to the school. You must be accepted to use the scholarship at that school. This is why one school should be a "safety".
Once his application is complete he may start to get emails or mail from various ROTC depts. When my daughter applied - a school on her list wooed her to come do her interview there. She did and was offered a scholarship early. The emails and mail continued!
Your son may want to go ahead and contact the ROTC departments - visit them if possible.
Good Luck, | |

| We were told my the Notre DAme rep that their ROTC programs were the premier slots in the nation, and that they have the most ROTC grads of any school. She bragged about it, and then said, "But with the war going downhill fast, I expect that to diminish a bit." | |

| ROTC Programs
When looking for good ROTC programs dont just focus on the School but look into the school within the ROTC program itself. There are a lot of top notch ROTC programs within smaller universities. Example: Cameron University in Lawton, OK. Small state school but the Army ROTC program is ranked within the top 10% in the nation. Over half of the graduating ROTC seniors were ranked in the top 15% on the national Order of Merit List. Great benefits for scholarship cadets as well. Free room and board. Check it out. | |

| I see a lot of mention of ROTC program rankings. For example, that Holy Cross has one of the highest ranked NROTC programs, etc. Where can I find rankings of NROTC programs? | |
