My son is going to applying for the colleges this fall. He is applying for the NROTC Program. Now, the question is he has a gpa of 4 (weighted).His SAT score is 1400. What colleges should he apply to? We want to apply only in safe colleges. He wants to do aerospace engineering .
Well there is a list of NROTC programs, so begin there and start narrowing. Get your priorities in order, figure out what you want from a school, calculate what you can afford if the ROTC money doesn’t materialize, and then go to work. The major is a good opener, and then you need to fold in the other preferences: big/small, urban/rural, public/private, etc.
Here’s your list:

Good luck, have fun.

My son is applying for the NROTC scholarship (Marine option). He has applied to TAMU and is OOS. My question is… if he is offered Blinn Team rather then straight to TAMU, could the NROTC scholarship still be used since he will also be taking classes at TAMU? (Blinn is taking classes off campus as well as on campus at TAMU and you are treated as a TAMU student). Or would he have to go to his second choice school? He has good stats and all… we just know it’s not easy to get an acceptance to College Station.
Penn State is a great choice and a very reputable ROTC (AF, Army and NAVY)
