I have a few questions concerning joining ROTC before moving on to med school and HPSP:
From what I understand, ROTC has 2 kinds of commitments:
Would joining ROTC (without accepting scholarship) improve my chances at getting into the HPSP program? If I don't get into HPSP, I am not committed to anything right?
I would, in essence, be taking ROTC classes during college for the sole purpose of gaining an edge in the HPSP application pool. Would this be fine?
From what I understand, ROTC has 2 kinds of commitments:
- If you get a scholarship, you have to pay your years of military-paid education with years of service.
- If you don't get get a scholarship, you have to commit yourself to 4 years of service for getting promoted to 2nd LT. (which is a choice you can make at the end of senior year, correct?)
