Thank you both for your responses. I plan on contacting Cadre at the new school ASAP, and then I will talk to my current Cadre. Would the fact that the two schools are in different brigades affect the possibility of the transfer working out?

I am currently attending an out-of-state school on scholarship, and I am an MSII. The school I am attending is not working out nearly as well as I had hoped, and the extra scholarships I received from this school is no longer an important enough factor to make it worth it to stay here. My...

Like many of you, I was a senior in high school last year who had recently learned that I was awarded the 4 year scholarship to my top (and only) 3 choices. I remember feeling like I had won the world. I had succeeded in life and the rest was just smooth sailing. But you haven't even started...

I completely agree with your sentiment, but coming from a household of two parents in educations, one of them an administrator for a few years, they DEFINITELY do not make well into 6 figures. Sometimes, the administrator's bosses make BARELY into 6 figures. Still, it is very discouraging...

Let me start by saying that nobody here can tell you definitively whether or not you'll get a scholarship. That being said, it's "easier" to to get AROTC than the other branches, and purely based on your academic stats, I'd say you have a great chance. Don't forget that there are many other...

It's important to know that nobody here can tell you definitively whether or not you'd get the scholarship, but I understand the need to have some sort of idea where you stand. Purely based on your stats, I'd say you have a pretty good chance. When I was in your spot last year, my stats were...

If I'm not mistaken, The University of Tennessee, Chattanooga is a satellite program of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville- which is battalion I will be joining this fall!

30 seconds is not too much to shave off between now and June. A month and a half ago, I started running track to get in shape for my APFT. I've shaved off two minutes so far, and now I run a 14:12. I know the last little bit will be harder than the first, but trust me, if I can do it- anybody can.

When you receive the official winner's letter by mail, there will be page specifically for accepting the offer. It will include the schools for which you have been offered a scholarship and you will simply check the box next to school to which you intend to accept the scholarship. At that point...

on-campus Kaiserstephan, I'm sorry to hear that you are so upset, but the fact that multiple battalions have called you to let you know that they are interested is really good! Battalions have the ability to award 3-year and EVEN 3 1/2 year scholarships in some cases. Also, depending on the...

I was told that that the DoDMERB is not concerned with weight issues unless weight pertains to a different medical issue (morbidly obese, possibly blood pressure, etc.) This has to be true because I was also about 7 pounds overweight according to the height-weight chart, yet I was qualified. My...

My experience was slightly different. The school listed on my email was not the first listed alphabetically. It also wasn't my first choice. Ironically, it was the school I ended up choosing, but it was actually last alphabetically and my second choice based on my application. Also, my candidate...

I know that no case is typical, but perhaps my story can be of assistance to somebody in the future. 3 years ago, my Freshman year of high school, I tore my ACL and had ACL reconstruction surgery. Since then, I have played 3 years of football, and wrestled for 3 years as well. We assumed I...

Sometimes, the ROTC cadre will have pull with the school. My (soon to be) cadre at the University of Tennessee was able to push the admissions office to consider my application sooner. When I found out about my ROTC Scholarship- I needed to know if I would be accepted or if I would receive any...

Mine said the same thing, and I also got the same feeling. My medical exam was also a similar experience. In my case, it worked to my advantage, but I definitely got the vibe that they wanted to move me through quickly and with minimal effort. Not that anybody was rude or unprofessional, it...

A family friend of ours is a LTC and a part of the cadre at Northwestern (in Illinois) and he told us that only 262 first board offers were made out of over 20,000 applicants. He didn't say how many were 4-years and how many were 3-years

My experience This is one way to submit them- but when I submitted mine, I was told to also make a scan of the actual form (completed and signed) and upload the file through the file upload section of the application portal. This way you KNOW they received it- especially this close to the...

Urine- Weight check They did not test my urine when I did my exam yesterday. Just to clarify a previous question of mine- they did take my weight, but they are not concerned with anybody meeting their height-weight requirements for the DoDMERB exam.

Weight Does anybody know if we are supposed to make weight for the DoDMERB day? I am very close to being on weight, but I'm not allowed to run for about a week due to a minor wrestling injury. My exam is on Monday. I can limit food (to almost none) and sit in a sauna if I need to make...
