Sorry for the delayed response: No, the last class of incoming cadets was fortunate to benefit from the generosity of VTCC alums. Every cadet received an ELS.

The ELS (Emerging Leader Scholarships) are awarded to incoming cadets at VT and are funded by an endowment established by VTCC Alumni. The ELS is explained on page 4 of the following document and other key VTCC topics are also addressed...

I've not been on this forum for a while, but upon seeing this thread, thought I would comment. Three years ago,our congressman awarded his Prin Nom to a college freshman who was in ROTC, as was his practice. When the 2nd semester college grades were released, the cadet no longer met the...

Our DS is a senior, in the VT Corps of Cadets, AFROTC and an Engineering major. Here are a few things that I can answer for you: 1. Whether or not you indicate that you wish to be a member of the VT Corps of Cadets has no bearing at all on whether you will be admitted to VT. There are many...

Thank you Pima! Just when I thought I had this whole thing down pat! LOL!

I may be way behind the times here, but my understanding is that an AFROTC scholarship is portable and can be used at any qualified college/university (those that have ROTC / Crosstown). So I'm wondering, are you saying that Cincinnatti offered you a supplemental scholarship to the AFROTC...

Thanks to all of you have taken the time to reply. I reached out to this forum regarding this as this is not my DS but the DS of someone close to me, a dear friend. I personally felt that this condition would be an auto DQ for all branches of service but I wanted to get some feedback before I...

Thank you Dr. G and Pickle. I think I have my answer now!

Thank you once again....I understand the definition of "waiver". Also, I have gleaned from this forum that each branch of service has somewhat subtle differences in what they allow. So I was hoping to receive some feedback from all branches. I realize that you are speaking for Army. I...

Thank you BAMA. I did read that previously but I was hoping for more current feedback since that thread is 7 years old AND the young man of whom I speak is not currently asymptomatic, as was the son of the OP in the 2007 thread.

Good morning. I have a friend whose son is interested in ROTC. He has a mild form of Tourette's. Is this an auto DQ or is it waiverable? Just asking at a high-level. I realize that answers are generally not "one size fits all". Thank you.

DS attends an SMC and there are always cadets in each service branch who reapply (or some apply for the first time) as ROTC freshmen. I know that they are treated with respect and support by all, as I am personal friends with the parents of two such freshmen, both of whom successfully applied...

Our son is a cadet at a SMC. I don't know if this is how it works everywhere but this is how I believe it works at his school: There really was no "application" process. The ROTC leadership submits all of the freshmen cadets (who did not come in with a High School Scholarship) to the ROTC...

This is the calibre of reply that I was hoping to see when I joined this site 3 years ago. Thank you for offering honest but respectful observations coupled with some very good suggestions. Refreshing. I hope the OP will print out this post and chew on it (not literally!).

:thumb:

HornetGuy...good response. Some "reality checking" for the OP and then some sage advice and suggestions. It's nice to see adults on this forum treating people with respect, regardless of the naive nature of the question or the seemingly unpreparedness/lack of research or info on the part of...

Pima, just to clarify, '15 and beyond will be subject to these weightings for bot rated and non-rated, correct?

Pima, thank you. I had not been able to find the new breakdown on Baseops. That's quite a change in the CC from 50% to 20%.

Thank you! Our son will be a 2016 grad due to 5 year Engineering major. I was just wondering what the % weighting is now, as compared to past years. My understanding is that the weightings have changed significantly. Just curious!

Thanks Pima. I have a document that shows otherwise but I take your word above all.
