Yes we were advised to do it now since he is not 18 and might have trouble getting it done there without me signing paperwork or being there and getting off campus to a physician. Even at the lab today I was waiting in the lobby and the nurse came out to get me and said she can't legally draw...

As stated he is too young to have donated by now at school or in our community when classmates would have . :-(

wanted to post this here for class of 2021. My son is heading off to college today at noon and here we are sitting in LabCorp frantically getting blood type testing done. His ROTC scholarship paperwork was just sent to him three days ago and we had no warning that they would need his Blood Type...

Thanks for sharing this. Son did contact and they said they'd let him know 30 days in advance what day to report. That's it. I was hoping to get an idea especially if we need extra hotel nights and hard to schedule wisdom teeth removal without knowing when he has to be there.

I was wondering if ROTC requires students to report early--- before the university opens for move in and orientation. My DS will be a freshman and we are scheduling wisdom teeth removal before he heads to school. The battalion said they "will notify him 30 days in advance of reporting."...

You only have to take one. If you submit both they will use the higher score so it can't hurt to give the ACT a shot.

DS just declined his appointment over the weekend so hopefully that opens a slot to someone else soon!

All looks great. You should receive an offer but the Type will depend on the pool of candidates in part so definitely be sure you complete it for the first board. My son was offered Commanders leadership scholarship at his state flagship where he interviewed. Apparently each detachment can offer...

I think this year most people who got Type 1 had at least 3.85 or greater.

At SLE last year they said they were looking for 25+ on all act tests with writing min 7. Of course these are the minimums and the ACt changed this year. Our son scored 99th%ile on ACT and only took it once. Didn't bother to take SAT since he did so well on ACT October of 11th gd. He also sent...

Does anyone know about the OPAT test? Will class of 2020 ROTC scholarship recipients have to pass this physical fitness test in the fall or the current test? This looks like the CFA.

He just heard from RC and it is the May 1 date.

It came in priority mail for my son today. Just happened to double check portal and saw the "appointment offered"'and then ran to the mailbox. No MOC call.

DS JUST received his appointment today. The letters give two different dates that he must accept by- April 15 and May 1. Can he still schedule an overnight and by which date do they need to accept the appointment?
