NROTC Units

So I just received word that I have been granted a Navy Option 4 year scholarship to the University of Wisconsin (I'm very happy and excited). However, I have been waitlisted at this school and have not heard back yet whether or not they've come to a decision (they said at the absolute latest before the end of June). I have, however, been accepted to both UCBoulder and the University of Pittsburgh and I know that it is possible (though not guaranteed) to transfer the scholarship to a different school. Both of these schools are on my top five schools list.

In choosing which school to go to, I'd like to know a little bit more about the units at these universities as they are difficult to travel to from where I live. I was wondering if anyone had any insight or knowledge about each of the NROTC units at each of these schools and their histories of getting students into flight. I was also wondering if anyone has/had any experience with transferring a scholarship and could shed some light on their situation.

If you do a Google search for both NROTC at UC and Pitt, you can find contact information for both. From there you can talk to a NROTC staff member or even a Midshipman who can give you first-hand advice on life at that respective school.

If Wisconsin is your top choice, I suggest you call both the admissions office and the NROTC unit there and explain to them that you have a full NROTC scholarship and that you want to go there. I imagine they'll accept you.

Congrats on the scholarship and good luck.

FWIW, CU Boulder, has had a VERY good history of getting people to go to Aviation (even for those who wanted to go SWO :eek:).

Also, University of Wisconsin, is one of the few colleges that they offer to prior enlisted guys that are looking to go into the nuclear field. http://www.sta-21.navy.mil/education.asp.

I would contact LT Lawson at CU Boulder if you are interested in going there. He is the "Aviation" community officer (Helo guy). The XO is a Helo guy as well. The CO just got there and he is a Harrier guy.

If you have questions that they are unable to answer, or you would rather get the "real world" scoop on, feel free to message me. I went there as a prior enlisted guy with 3 kids and a wife, so my experiences may be different than what you are looking for, but I still stay in contact with former and current midshipmen from the unit so I should be able to point you to those that should be able to help you out..

Best of luck and congrats on getting a highly coveted scholarship!:)
