[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do many colleges have ROTC programs [/quote]

Lots of great schools have ROTC.  I was admitted to and had my choice among the following Army ROTC programs for my 4 year scholarship:

Cornell
UVA
Duke
Georgetown
Princeton
Notre Dame
Lafeyette
Holy Cross
Colgate

And it’s a fantastic hook because a lot of ivy schools don’t get many ROTC applicants.  Increases your odds significantly.[/quote]

It's a huge hook. My DS was set to go to West Point - got the nomination - but also sought the four year ROTC scholarship and applied ED to a top 20 school. He got in. In all likelihood, it was the ROTC scholarship that set him apart from every other high stats unhooked kid from the burbs. It's been an overwhelmingly positive experience so far. But this is something he wanted to do - he likes the challenge of it. I think its important that the student really wants to do ROTC. It is demanding. 5 am PT is not for every college student.
