[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you for starting this topic. My rising junior is also seriously considering ROTC. His older sibling is at one of the HYPMS which also has a great ROTC program. For admissions (assuming he gets the scholarship), does ROTC provide any sort of boost at all?

I know how hard it is to be admitted so really trying to manage expectations. [/quote]

I'm OP and clearly I am in the process of learning about this, so I defer to any corrections on this, but my understanding is that you apply to the college's ROTC once you've been admitted to the school. You can also apply for national ROTC scholarships but they make it clear that listing the colleges you're interested in as part of that application in no way guarantees admission. [/quote]

Ok, thank you. From our very early understanding, it sounds like (if sibling's college is first choice), that he should apply REA while simultaneously planning for the first ROTC board which happens in October. Then the board decision will come out just a few weeks before the REA decision, and hopefully if it's a yes, then DC will update his application that he received the ROTC scholarship. I don't know what happens after that point... but hoping that the ROTC scholarship will give a small boost? [/quote]
Don't count on getting in the first round. It's a very small percentage that do.[/quote]
