He wants to be a mechanical engineer.
Where does he stand as far as chances for scholarship.
His first choice school right now is Auburn if that makes a difference.</p>
<p>NROTCdad…Your S’s stats look pretty good and he has some good extracurriculars to go along with with the grades. As you know Engineering is one of the majors that most scholarships go to now. So you have that covered too.
I noticed in your post, there was no mention of any sort of employment. Has your S ever held a job? When my S interviewed for the NROTC scholarship, the interviewer was more interested (according to S) in talking about S’s work experience than h.s. activities. My S did not participate in ROTC in high sch though. Big state schools usually have fairly large ROTC units so Auburn is prob. a good first choice.
Have your S get his app. in as early as possible.</p>
<p>He has not been employed, mostly due to time issues. He is on JROTC drill team, cross Country, takes college classes along with high school schedule, and has been to summer college camps. I am a high school football coach, baseball coach and science teacher with three kids and he seems to have less time than I do.</p>
