[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey everybody, my double D's (dear daughters) go to GDS and both have a 3.7-3.8 GPA. One got into 6 Ivy's (and Stanford) and the other one (3.7) got into only five Ivy's (not including Stanford). We might have to try the ROTC strategy next year :wink: for my DS. I will be devastated if my double D's do not get to continue their academic pursuits by each others sides. We were truly hoping for better news on colleges this admission cycle but hopefully a quick email  :wink: should save this travesty. [/quote]

There is no “ROTC strategy.” I’ve heard it can indicate that you’re full pay (since the student, IF they get the FULL ROTC scholarship, doesn’t have to pay) but that’s it.[/quote]

PP sounds fake but yes, there is a much smaller pool of ROTC candidates applying to Ivy League schools. So you end up competing against, for example, 300 kids instead of  60,000.  It’s not for everyone but if it interests your kid, it’s a huge boost in odds and a legit hook. Not criticizing it- it’s good for our military and our country, but you can’t deny it exists. [/quote]

Is who’s going to be in ROTC even determined before EA deadlines?[/quote]
