[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Totally weird question.  Who's to say they are not qualified to attend?  ROTC or not, students have to have the credentials still to gain admissions to these Universities. [/quote]

Sorry I wasn't clear.  This kid is bragging about using ROTC to get into a university where they are well below the average GPA and have no AP courses, take remedial math etc. And yes, this kid does not seem nice.

I wasn't implying that ROTC kids were unqualified as a whole.[/quote]

ROTC scholarships have changed a lot in recent years. In the 90s? Yes, this was possible. Fake it till you make it to get the scholarship, use the power of the scholarship to get into a school that may not have otherwise accepted you, and drop ROTC without commitment after the first year.

Now, you have to target your school when you apply for your ROTC scholarship. So, if you are targeting a prestigious, well-regarded ROTC school, the competition is going to be much greater than you might think. If you are a top 1% kid targeting a T10 through ROTC, you're really going to have to sell yourself as a willing, participating, contributing member of the battalion and someone who truly desires to be an officer after graduation. 
TLDR: those schools have plenty of ROTC applicants so you need to be sincere with your desire to serve. [/quote]
