My daughter was in the Air Force Junior ROTC program all through her high school years (4 years) and I know that she would tell you it was the best 4 years she had in that organization.  She had all the intentions of going to college and being a veterinarian; she did go to college and received her B.A. however, she changed her career decision  and enlisted in the Air Force instead.  With the 4 years of ROTC under her belt, she entered the Air Force with an automatic stripe and at a higher pay grade and her dossier was that much more impressive. She is still serving our country at Columbus AFB, Mississippi as an Air Traffic Controller and we are extremely proud of her.  She will be going for the staff sargeant position sometime this year.  She has also expressed her desire to continue her education funded by the military and will also be enlisting for probably another 5-6 years, possibbly serving somewhere overseas. Being in the ROTC program has not only made her disciplined and self-sufficient, but also a responsible and successful adult.  I am sure that the other branches of the service also have terriffic ROTC programs so please check with your school or community's program availability and for any answer to the questions you may have.  Good luck!\n\nP.S.  Tragic Hero is wrong. The ROTC programs begin at the school levels and count toward your "real-life" military career in that branch of the service (it's just not Army). ROTC and Jr. ROTC all adds up when you are being looked at for entering the military or officer's school.

I personally was not accepted to a military academy, and I was 28th in my class. I do however have a friend who went to the Air Force Academy. I don't know his GPA or Class rank, but I can tell you he was extremely smart and good at math. He said the Air Force Academy was extremely hard. He said it was kind of like a basic training environment but for 4 years. They had to memorize an article from a newspaper and memorize a summary of it before breakfast everyday. They pc'ed all the time, and did marching drills also. He said it was a good experience, but I would rather go to a regular college and do an ROTC program myself.

MaClean's (Canadian magazine) does a yearly ranking of Canadian universities.  \n\nUnfortunately the 2006 ranking is not available on the web but you can go to your local library and ask for them to request it on a interloan library exchange.  \n\nThe second list I posted is for the 2005 rankings.\n\nBest of luck

That depends on whether you want a traditional or an executive MBA program.  Traditional high rankers in the USA are Harvard, Columbia, Wharton.  In Europe Insead and London Business School are always high ranking.\n\nI think the best benchmark for MBA rankings is the annual survey by Financial Times.  Most business school promote their rankings - if they score well!  My school ranked in the top 50 and promoted the heck out of it.\n\nThe FT.com website has all the current and historical information.

Actually, there is a JROTC program for high school, it is like a preparatory course for college ROTC. The daughter of a friend of ours is enrolled in Illinois.\n\nThere is a public military high school in Chicago (Chicago Military Academy high school) which offers JROTC as well as a cadet lifestyle. There is also the Rickover Naval Military High School.

ROTC will by far and away be the least complicated way to do it. There are other commissioning sources, but based on your situation - ROTC will be simpler. (P.S. The benefits/status for these sources are all identical - theonly one that may have more prestige - a Service Academy is not an option for you - so I'd go with the most available option for you).
