This is why you apply to more than 2 two schools. I go to a private Christian university with 36k expenses and I only go because 95% of it is covered with scholarship. 25k in loans a year is not worth it in my opinion. You could wait a year and reapply for other schools. That would likely be your best option. Apply everywhere.

OP, So basically you are a sore loser. Cry me a river why don't you?

I start next fall and will have just turned 19. I graduated high school a year early. I'll graduate a month before my 21st birthday. Kinda weird.

And the reason I didn't sign on for Army ROTC is because of timing and mostly I decided that the Army was not for me and that the Navy is what I really want. I tried convincing myself that the Army would be a good choice too but in the end couldn't sign the deal because I knew that meant giving up Navy. My university or any near me don't offer Navy ROTC.

Thanks for the advice from both of you. Dranger, I meant 'course' not 'program.' Sorry for confusion.

I recently learned of this program and have become interested but I am not sure if applying would be a waste of time. My GPA isn't that great, 3.5. But I heard other aspects are important too. I've been volunteering as a Big Sister, volunteering at the humane society and volunteering in my local hospital the past 6 months. I was going to be in ROTC. I did the Army Leadership Training Program last summer but was unable to accept the scholarships(just bad timing). I am thinking of applying for NCP the next year which I think starts in September or October. Should I give it a shot? The application process takes a lot of time and I don't want to do it without even having a chance.
