Hi Everyone,
First off, I have enjoyed reading most of the threads here. Everyone is helpful and offers sound advice. As a parent, new to this process, I just wanted to thank all of you.
So, my son will be applying to AROTC in the fall. He has started his application online and met with two recruiting officers from colleges he is interested in. He has forwarded both his ST and ACT scores to Cadet Command. He has not yet fully completed his application. He is working on his personal statement.
The application seems "live" in that there is no submit button. He noticed that his status has changed to "interviewee" and it indicates he can now schedule his interview. Questions- Can he pick where he wants to interview? Does it matter that the nearest location is not one of his choices?
I've noticed as he completes the application, each tab has an icon (green, yellow, red). Once he is green all across- will that automatically submit his application? Or, will some other action be required?
At what point in the process will his coach be contacted to administer the physical fitness test? The same question applies to his medical examination. When is that usually scheduled?
I know I have a lot of questions and I thank you for your patience. As I go through this process with my son, I am learning new things and will be able to offer advice in the years to come.
Regards,
Bill
