I've been researching on this topic, but I'm still a little confused. Let's say I wanted to join the NROTC located at UCLA, do I apply for the national scholarship, then asks them to put me in the UCLA unit? What if I only get into one school that offers NROTC, will they put me there no matter what? How do you get into the school you really want, is it based on best applicants get first choice or does everyone pretty much get what they want?Another question I have is about cross-town affiliate schools. If I wanted to go to SDSU, is there a batallian located at SDSU or would I have to travel to UCSD or USD for the courses or training? Thanks for clearing this up for me.
