Notsopatient: Admissions people at A&M say that indicating interest in the Corps doesn’t necessarily increase your chances of getting admitted, but I have heard just the opposite. My son was not in the top 10% of his class, and he got admitted based on holistic review. He has a very strong resume though (Eagle Scout, NHS, exchange student, music honor society, etc). He also got an AFROTC scholarship because he interviewed very well. We also spent some time touring campus, and we (he) scheduled time to meet with a representative from the Corp as well as the advisor for his major. He also did Spend the Night with the Corps. All of this indicated high interest on his part. He got his acceptance letter a week later.
