Paying for College

<p>I’m currently a sophomore at the University of West Florida and working on my application for a 2year NROTC-marine option scholarship though SDSU…although hopefully i will get accepted to CSU: San Marcos as a transfer and do the cross-town affiliate thing. </p>

<p>anyways, i was wondering if anybody has done this 2 year scholarship through SDSU or just a NROTC-Marine option and has any advice? or background on how it went? or can tell me what the chances are i would get in?</p>

<p>a little background about me:</p>

<p>my father is a retired marine of 24 years. i grew up in okinawa, japan so i’ve been around all 4 services most of my life. In high school i received varsity letters in crosscountry, basketball, and soccer all 4 years. I was captain of all 3 my senior year, and captain of basketball and soccer my junior year. i had a 3.8+ G.P.A, ranked 12th in a class of just over 200, and scored a 27 cummulative on my ACTs. My current GPA in college is like a 3.4, and my major is mathematics. I’m half filipino and female :)</p>

<p>Why not apply to SDSU and avoid San Marcos, completely? </p>

<p>SDSU is a great school and you would avoid traffic on the freeway for PT and Naval Science classes, some of which can be very early in the morning.</p>

<p>Or apply to University of San Diego, if you are applying for the 2 year scholarship. My son is a Navy option, Engineering major there, and it is where the unit is based.</p>
