Hello, I am a 3 year AD scholarship cadet into the 2nd semester of my Sophomore year. When I got the scholarship, there were two schools that I had to decide between, **current school** and Embry Riddle Daytona beach. The decision was very tough for me, but I ended up choosing **current...

Hello, I am a 3 year scholarship recipient who just finished my first semester. I got a 3.6 GPA (Was 6% away on one test from getting a 3.9), and am a bit worried about my future when it comes to my aspirations. I am looking to get around a 3.6 overall GPA for the OML, but my major is in...

Hello, as a 3 year AD scholarship winner I was informed that I would have to wait until the beginning of my sophomore year to contract. Is this the same for 4 year scholarship winners? If that is the case, do contracted 4 year freshmen get any different treatment/benefits/oppurtunities? Thank...

Hello, I am wondering if your credit hours affect your standing on the OML for ROTC. For example, I am taking all required courses and have 16 credit hours, including Military Science. However, I have seen some freshmen take 22 credit hours when registering. Would having more credit hours make...

Hello, I was wondering how competitive a cadet would have to be in order to commission into the 82nd or 101st, and the airborne as a whole. I could find information on Infantry, but not the airborne its self. Thanks to anyone who can answer.

Hello, I recently read that the Army is rolling out a new APFT, but the details are a bit confusing. They never did say what cadets will have to do. Does anyone know this information? How different will it be from the current PFT? I want to make sure I'm fully prepared for when I join my cadre...

Hello, I had braces for about 2 years, but got them removed about 3 and 1/2 years ago. However, I still have the permanent retainer they always put in after braces. Does this count as current orthodontic equipment? Current orthodontic equipment is listed under the disqualifiers.

Hello, I have found myself confronted with a very difficult decision. Two great schools with outstanding academics and equally outstanding ROTC programs, Embry Riddle and CSU are my two choices for ROTC. I have talked to both ROO's and Colonels at both Universities, but I would really like a...

Hello, I have spent awhile coming up ideas for my essay, and this week I finally put those ideas into words. Is anyone willing to give their thoughts on it before I upload it and finally complete my application? I will message it to you if so. Thank you, Darien

Hello, I submitted 4 Letters of rec, including one from my recruiter who runs the army training program I'm in. My question is, do the PMS's even look at the letters or do they just give you points for the amount that that you submitted? Thanks.

Hello, I completed my PMS Interview 2 and a half weeks ago, and a week later the Cadre I did it with said that they uploaded it. However, it's been a week since then and there has been no update on my application. I called again, but the Colonel simply told me the same thing. I was wondering...

Hello, I was recently reading the additional information in the ROTC application when I came across a statement saying you need to provide evidence for the activities you put down. Is this true? I don't see anywhere to put this "evidence" and if there is a place, it would be difficult to find...

Hello, so I am applying for the January Board, and am completing my PMS interview and PFT in the next 2 weeks before Christmas break. I am not worried about the PMS Interview, but I am a little bit worried about the PFT. I can do 52 Push up, 55 sit ups, and run a mile in 6 minutes and 30...

Hello, so I am in the future soldier program, getting ready for ROTC. I was told before that if I went SMP, I would have to get a reserve commission upon graduating. However, upon talking to my sergeant, he said there are better benefits going SMP than there is getting an ROTC scholarship, and...

Hello, so I start ROTC this coming fall, and was wondering what candidates who get their first 1 or 2 choices for AD look like. I know a 300 PFT is a given, but what about other things? GPA? Extra Curriculars? If it helps, the branches I am looking at are 1. Infantry 2. Armor. 3. Intelligence...

Alright, so serving in the military has always been my biggest life goal. I cannot begin to express how much it matters to me. That being said, the DoDMERB has me very worried. Four years ago, I started having episodes known as "Confusional Migraines." These lasted for a year, but only a year...

Hello, I am applying for the ROTC scholarship and just got my last ACT scores back, a 27. The military professor at the college I want to go to told me the Army super scores, so my super score is a 28. I improved my math from a 21 to a 28 and my reading from a 29 to a 31. Its a bit too late to...

Hello, I am applying for the ROTC scholarship but have one big problem. I cannot for the life of me raise my act math score above a 21, all other areas are fine. No matter how much I study, each practice math test I take ends in disaster, despite me knowing all the materials and being an A math...

Hello, I was thinking about my options for ROTC and found out about the SMP program for the Army Reserves. If I do not get the scholarship now, is it possible for me to sign up for SMP while also applying for next year's scholarship? I know I would have to leave SMP if I did get it. Also, is...
