    AROTC application almost complete

    Those schools are being recommended, probably because they are the 4 closest. It is not necessary that you interview at 1 of those 4. As other posters have already stated, there are advantages to interviewing at your top choice school.

    does the college choice matter?

    If you are considering schools in the Northeast for Army ROTC, consider Marist College. For the last 4 years, EVERY Cadet with a 3.0 or higher has received a full tuition army ROTC Scholarship.

    N at LDAC for failing land navigation?

    True, but... Day and Night Land Nav Practical Exam at LDAC is no longer an independent entry into OMS. A failure at either exam will probably be taken into consideration when the RGT TAC and the PMS enter their evaluations.

    Rumor of ROTC cuts?

    Army Cadet Command is restructuring. Some BNs are being reduced. Some are being enlarged. Some are being merged. Some new ones are being created. None of this should have a huge impact on contracted Cadets. If a program is being reduced, non-contracted Cadets at that program will find it...

    Transferring colleges?

    Based on the above info, there is almost no chance that this transfer would be approved. There are simply too many people that would have to sign off. As far as the army is concerned, you already received a scholarship to your number 1 choice. You would need to have a reason far more...

    Finally throwing in the towel

    This is not the norm. Each of these cadets received the scholarship offer to a school outside our BN. They requested transfer of their scholarship to Marist College because of our track record in getting waivers approved. The other BNs approved the transfer because they did not want to be...
