    Sway of Army ROTC on Yale, Stanford, Princeton, Harvard Admissions?

    Your AROTC scholarship will ultimately be placed at 1 school and 1 school only. Assuming you have good numbers for that school, your scholarship may help you stand out from other applicants but only at the 1 school the AROTC scholarship is placed at. Applying SCEA should give you some...

    Wow! I wish they had that when my daughter went through 2 cycles ago. It should help help Air Force compete favorably with Navy and Army at top private schools. My DD had a Type 7 Air Force ROTC scholarship which as a parent I would not even let her consider using since she had Navy ROTC at...

    AP Exam Scores

    If they are good, I would submit them. My DD submitted hers and received 3 different ROTC scholarships. If you have have good SAT IIs, you may also want to submit those since the top schools will want them as well. My belief is that if you have great scores, it will not hurt you to submit them.

    What constitutes a “reach” school?

    Those are great ACT scores!! If your DS GPA, extracurriculars, and fitness test scores are also that good, he would have a great chance at both IVY's and USNA. I would put applications in at both by Labor Day. Good luck!

    Best AFROTC program, and for future pilot

    I would focus on and submit the Service Academy applications prior to Labor Day as they have the most stringent and detailed steps to complete. I would then work on the ROTC applications second. I would try and make the first AROTC Board and the second NROTC and AFROTC boards. In my opinion...

    Will colleges view my nomination to USNA favorably?

    If your DD has prepared a resume and it can be uploaded to the college application, I would definitely include it on her resume. On the common app for colleges, I would also include it in the accomplishment section like 22bravo says. If your DD has won an ROTC scholarship, she should...
