Are NROTC scholarship selectees given any preferential treatment in the ISU admission process?
No. The same personal characteristics and academic credentials are considered in scholarship selection and in Iowa State admission. Selection for a scholarship is a good indication that you may be selected for admission; but it is neither guaranteed nor implied. The NROTC scholarship committee might place more emphasis on leadership potential as evidenced in extra curricular athletics or school government activities. The university might place more emphasis on academic achievement.
