Depending on which branch you're looking into, I'm not too familiar with the scholarship applications for other branches but I know for Army ROTC there's a scholarship application you can easily find online by searching it up. I would be completing the ROTC scholarship applications at the same...

Trust me, I felt the same way at times in my own program but it gets better. I'm also a MS1 in AROTC and in my 2nd semester. I often felt like I was behind the curve and I was constantly trying to catch up and I felt like the material in my MS classes wasn't really sinking in for me. Don't get...

I suggest bringing your resume as well as a small notepad with a pen. Bring the small notepad with questions written in it for your FFR, and also be prepared to jot down some quick points about the answers to those specific questions. Good luck!

I definitely recommend deleting social media or at least making sure the majority of your time isn't dedicated to checking social media. Personally, I haven't used traditional forms of social media (instagram, snapchat, twitter etc.) in about 4 years. I have a lot more free time which I use...

I've had my hair that same length before and I don't think I was able to put it into a ponytail because it was too short. If you are able to put it in a ponytail, it's likely that pieces will fall out of the hair tie and get in your face, especially during physical activity.

It is similar to a BS/MD program, but it is not one. It is more so a supportive program, where you can receive academic support and peer support from the other people in the program, as well as interact with current physicians. I take the MCAT at the usual time other applicants for medical...

Thank you, you have alleviated my worries a bit. Having the resources to get academic help if I need it is definitely important. I will PM you if I have any questions about the pre-med route.

Thank you so much for your response, I have been thinking about these exact things, and medical school does seem more likely for me through the ROTC route. I really need to consider the points you brought up in my decision, thank you.

Thank you for your advice! I'm definitely trying to weigh the pros and cons of both places, and the thing that I'm struggling with most is what you mentioned: USMA is practically a once in a lifetime opportunity that I don't know if I could pass up. At the same time, I don't know if I'd be able...

Hey everyone. I have a tough decision to make very soon about USMA vs. AROTC. There's pros and cons for both, and I honestly don't know which one to pick. I remember first applying to USMA in my junior year and being so excited about the prospect of an appointment and serving my country as a...

Thank you very much, I'll do some more research and look into those bun pins! Thanks for your recommendations:)

This was very informative and helpful, thank you!

Does anyone have any tips about what I should do with my hair on R-day as a female? My hair is not quite long enough to do a low bun, so I'm wondering if I might have to cut it. Also, if I cut it, would they be able to cut it on R-day, or is it better to go before R-day to have it cut?

Thank you!

Hey guys, quick question. I know that I have 30 days to accept my AROTC scholarship, but what if I am not exactly sure which college I want to attend yet? Is there any consequence/downside to waiting closer to the 30 days to turn in my selection and acceptance of my scholarship? I'm waiting on...
