As a current MS1 who hopes to branch combat arms I can attempt to give you some specific advice. First of all I strongly suggest you tryout and compete with your battalion's Ranger Challenge Team. My experinces from the team have been very beneficial and you will learn a lot more soft skills...

Last year the portal was updated on January 30 at 2:00 pm EST, for the second board! I am sure it is diffrent for this year.

I had a very similar plan as you do concerning medicine and ROTC. I received the 4-Year AROTC scholarship last year and am currently at college. It is a very difficult path to follow course load wise. I will have to take 18 credits every semester plus summer courses to graduate. I am finding...

Just found out I am headed to Turkey!

I am interested in how this works as well! Are you by chance pre-med? I am AROTC though.

It depends if you are applying to the academies of ROTC. The academies receive it during the application process, ROTC does not receive it until after a scholarship is rewarded or contracting on campus. Assuming you mean an academy though!!

I would say work on your ACT score for sure, I know its hard to do with all the other things you are doing but it probably is the weakest part of your application right now. Your extracurricular seem great, especially working as a CNA. Make sure you are ready to do really well on the interview!

Great thank you all for your responses and encouragements!!

Does anyone know how the stipend works for textbooks. I am a four year winner who has to order textbooks soon and I was told that there would be a stipend. Thanks!

My sister won a type-7 scholarship for 2015. She had similar ACT scores but a better GPA. I would try your best to get your GPA up but your extracurriculars look good! Just make sure you kill the interview when you get to it! Keep up the hard work!

Great thanks for all the suggestions, I have already read a few of them!! Just for anyone else interested the best books I have read so far are If You Survive and Leading With Honor both really good books!

I found out recently that I am getting the scholarship presented to me in a few hours at our high school awards ceremony. I am getting presented an AROTC scholarship, while my twin sister is getting presented with a AFROTC scholarship!!

Hello, I will be starting AROTC in the fall and I am an avid reader, so I was wondering if anyone had any books they could suggest in the topics of military history or biographies, or any books that would help me in ROTC. Thanks!!

I apologize for my earlier comment, I just wanted to help give you some ideas, but I probably didn't state it in the best way. My apologies to everyone. Thanks for understanding!

I had to write an essay with a similar prompt for Army ROTC, I can PM you my essay if you would like to see it.

Hello, One question that I was asked on the AROTC interview is about a particular time that I displayed leadership, as a leader of a sports team. In the moment that question really caught me off guard, but I was able to remember something on the spot. PM me if you have any more questions I went...

I am in the same boat and about to start ROTC in the fall, so I have been looking for some reading material. You may want to check out "Leading with Honor" by Lee Ellis!

I am a second board winner and I decided I wanted to change my major about three weeks ago. I wanted to change from Chemistry to Applied Health Sciences. I was worried it was going to be a lengthy process but it actually just took a week to have it all figured out, first I called up the college...
