I was wondering if anyone could give me a gauge on how competitive the Marine option of NROTC is? what are GPA and SAT requirements ? Do you get to choose which field you'll go into after being commissioned? Any information would be helpful. I'm getting ready to apply for all of the ROTC programs. I would like to go into aviation or intelligence.
1. Fairly competitive, but not impossible. You're doing the right thing by applying for all options, although I would include the academies. You'll have some other options in college as well to include PLC (Marines), BDCP (navy) and some others. Cast a wide net.
2. "The requirements" and what will get you selected are probably widely separated. Either way, I don't know them so I won't speculate.
3. You can ask for whatever field you want. You'll get what you get. You can get an air contract that will specify that you'll go to flight school in either ROTC or PLC. All other fields are selected after The Basic School based on performance, availability, and timing. Needs of the Marine Corps come first.
Poke around a little on here using the saerch function and you'll find a ton of information already supplied on all of these programs.
Good luck!
