I thought it would make more sense to accept it at a school I probably won’t be accepted to, since that way they’ll be more understanding of my need to transfer the scholarship. Do you think it works that way? And thanks a ton for that last part, I think I’m going to contact the schools and see...

Just to be clear, I realize my chances for both UPenn and Duke are extremely low, but what I was asking there is if I’m automatically able to transfer the scholarship to those schools if I were to get in. From what I’ve heard, I don’t think that’s how it works. I listed 7 schools, and several of...

So recently I found out that I was awarded a 4-year AROTC scholarship to my top 3 choices (Harvard, Penn, Duke). Now, even though I haven't gotten my admissions decision from any of them, I have to accept my scholarship at only one of the schools. I'm planning on accepting it at my #1 school...

Thank you, that's what I was thinking. However, I'm not a recruited athlete, minority, or SLE attendee, and I haven't shown any particular interest in West Point besides filling out the questionnaire. I am a very good student though. So do you think I would really be given an LOA as long as I...

I filled out West Point's Candidate Questionnaire a while back. I didn't even log in to my portal since then, but today I got the following email: Greetings from West Point, Based on the information you have provided us in your Candidate Questionaire, you are a highly competitive candidate...

Question 2 is this: "State below in the space provided how you spend your time in a typical week during the school year. For Example, how many extra hours do you spend: at school, doing homework, engaged in athletic activities, engaged in extracurricular activities (i.e. clubs), engaged in...

Thanks. I’ve looked around but can’t find the maxes for the different sections. For example, I wouldn’t want to keep working on improving my 1-mile time if 5:45 is already a 100. Do you know where I could get this info?

Thank you a lot for this information. I was planning on applying to Stanford REA since it’s non-binding, but Duke is currently my top choice. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to go there unless I have an ROTC scholarship there. So, I think I might put Duke as my #1 choice, wait for the scholarship...

Not a parent, but I am a fellow applicant who is hesitant to tell his parents about the decision. It's a big one, and I'm sure you know that. I'm planning on riding it out until I have to tell them (going to my PMS interview, doing something at the recruiting office, etc.). But I think when it...

I’m in-state for Florida and near-100% sure I’ll get in there. If not there, I’ll most likely get into UT Austin, and I have a decent chance at some of the others.

Thanks for taking the time to look through this. I haven’t done my fitness assessment yet but the numbers on here are my estimates for when I do it. Everything else is up to date. GPA (unweighted): 4.0 GPA (weighted): 5.56 ACT: 36 (with a 36 in all four sections, not sure if that matters in...

Thanks, I know that getting the scholarship from a school doesn’t mean you got in to the school. I’m talking about “admission” to the school’s ROTC unit.

I’d like to preface this by saying I’m a rising senior who is in the process of applying to Army ROTC. I am trying to decide how to rank the schools on my list, but it’s hard to find definitive details about how the scholarships work in regards to different schools. If I list 7 schools, what...
