Thank you all for your replies. Just asking so we can understand all the options. As it turns out, JMU is going all virtual for now and DD is coming home this weekend. It’s tough all around.

My DD received a 3 year AROTC scholarship and has been at JMU for a week and a half now. Only one of her classes meets in person, however that hasn’t actually happened yet. I’m seriously considering bringing her home and trying again next year when things are not so miserable. I am wondering...

Thank you both!

Thank you so much!

My DD was awarded an AROTC scholarship. Hurray! We are really excited about it and she would be very happy to take it and go Army! However, she has also applied for an AFROTC scholarship and they have 3 more boards to go. Air Force is her preference. The deadline to accept the Army offer is...

One of my DS friends got an email from her school today saying she got a scholarship, but her status still says boarded. Are they still rolling these out?

Do you have to go to basic? Ciet?

Thank you!

Would he be doing once a month weekend duty and two weeks active during college? And is there any way to transfer to active duty later?

Looks like my DS didn't get selected for the national scholarship. We have heard about reservist scholarships. Does anybody have any experience with that route? Requirements? Pros and cons?

Thank you all for your replies! My DD got a 3 year two years ago and now we are working on my DS's application. It feels a little bit more familiar this time, but there are always thing that pop up that you just didn't know, so I really appreciate the help!

Who would be the recruiter? If you have the results sent by the College Board who administers the test, does that work?

What? So if you have submitted ACT and SAT results, but take the tests again in hopes of getting a better score, the new score will not be counted if you have complete the application in time for the first board?

No problem with that. Thank you for your help!

Thank you so much!
