Hello Service Academy Forums! This is my second post here and I absolutely love the knowledgeable and friendly community here and I was hoping someone could help me with some questions.
I am currently an MS1 cadet participating in the Army ROTC program at CU Boulder. Early this year, I was honored to earn a three year scholarship from cadet command to CU Boulder. However, I am now considering transferring to TAMU due to personal reasons and the reputation the TAMU Corps of Cadets has.
I was curious what the differences are between a SMA such as Texas A and M vs. an AROTC program such as the one I am currently enrolled in are. Furthermore, is it possible to transfer my scholarship from CU Boulder to TAMU or would I have to reapply? Lastly, would I have to retake the MS1 Military Science class at TAMU if I decide to transfer or would I have to join as a compression cadet and retake the MS1 and MS2 classes?
This last question is purely out of curiosity. I have heard many conflicting responses to this question in the past and I am genuinely curious what the real answer is. If a cadet successfully completes an the army program in their respective SMA such as TAMU, are they guaranteed active duty or do they have to compete with all ROTC cadets across the country to earn an active duty positioning?
Thank you,
