<p>collegesomeday : Consider very carefully ANY advice you receive on these forum and question whether distant (10+ years) past experiences will still apply to the current NROTC conditions. Seriously investigate what options are currently available for NROTC JAG officers and whether NROTC is willing to pay for undergrad AND Grad school for you.</p>
<p>CraigBurke21 :I believe the OP’s interest in NROTC is very recent and in response to some advice he received yesterday:Lower-tier law schools? - Law School - College Confidential Forums ”>Lower-tier law schools? - Law School - College Confidential Forums ;

I have a youngish neighbor who went to Wharton. He joined ROTC to cover a big chunk of the cost. He then submatriculated to UPenn Law–Penn lets you count the first year of law school as your last year at one of its UG colleges, so he too got both degrees in 6 years. He convinced the navy to let him do JAG and so he didn’t have to go into the navy until he got his JD. During the summers he got JAG jobs, one of which was with one of the top NYC law firms. When he graduated he went into the navy and went to whatever its school for military law is called. He’s now out and working in JAG. He really likes it. For a kid who does have the stats, I think that was a better plan than yours. But I’m biased. I’d rather have a Whaton BS and UPenn law degree than one from SC and I don’t see spending 5 years in the military as JAG as a horrible deal. Some people do.
