We are all still crying and dancing singing Victory March.
Need advice...she is from a financially challenged situation....BUT has AF and NAVY scholies..Full Tuition
Any AFROTC people out there..or Navy ???????? Help !!!!
She got accepted into Mendoza.....will AForce or Navy "force " her in a set major outside of Mendoza?
She wants Finance...I think Navy is much more open to any type of MAJOR..she will minor in CS.
Mendoza finance is excellent. Kudos to her, she must be a great student!
Couple thoughts on ROTC.
I was Army ROTC at ND and all of our kids were on ROTC scholarships (2 at ND). They chose Army because it was the easiest with majors (2 finance, 1 pre-med, 1 chemistry) I know things change year to year, however:
- Navy is typically strict with majors, and usually engineer heavy. She will want to confirm with the ROTC dep't on major right away... and might have to have already indicated that on her ROTC application? In any event, best to get this agreed at the start. If she starts in any other major she will never get to Mendoza and ROTC will be reluctant to let her change. Navy is great program with lot's of structure and summer commitments.
- The AF program will be more lenient with time, but as you say, I think ever more restrictive on majors.
That is awesome and good for her!

...the AFROTC scholarships generally were tied to a major, almost always Engineering. I was AFROTC in the 80s. The Navy guys seemed to be in many majors. I knew lots of Navy Business majors. I also had a NROTC scholarship but chose the AF. For me, it was absolutely the right decision, especially in hindsight. My best friend to this day is a former NROTC guy who lived across the hall from me Freshman year. He's retired Navy.
Obviously, don't take the word of an anonymous message board yahoo. Have her talk to each program to see what they allow.
I hated ROTC but I knew it was paying the bills, so it was well worth it. But I also loved being on active duty.
CONGRATS to all!!
