It's less about the "position" and more about the impact you make in the club. Being the "president" or "founder" of a club probably hold the same "value" on the wcs... but if you take a club from 5 to 50 members, or do a fundraiser that makes $10,000, they can tell you are a leader. Focus on...

I agree with everything that has been said so far. Perhaps you could learn more from doing something new (internship) than from doing something you have already done (NJROTC) just a bit longer. This is a good problem to have; others wouldn't even consider doing either of those things. Either...

ROTC does not request information from DodMERB on candidates' medical status unless the candidate has already been offered an ROTC scholarship. After he receives the scholarship, ROTC will consult with DodMERB and find out that the candidate is DQ'd.

I got a call from MOC's office. Then, a few days later, I got an email from USAFA at 3:43AM. Note: This was a "conditional offer of appointment" upon getting my medical qualification.

I'm an eagle. My favorite memory is Rayado at Philmont. I highly recommend it if you are up for the challenge.

The person who interviewed me had printed out my entire application and basically asked me about each area to verify that it was legit. So, basically, he specifically asked me about every scholar/athlete/leader criteria. I had also reviewed my application before hand to make sure I could talk...

I have had my shoulder surgery and the doctor said it went well. However, it will still take me several months to do physical therapy and be released to activities. I will, of course, submit my documents as soon as I can, but I still have doubts that I will be able to make it in time. I'm...

My intended major was psychology and I got the scholarships.

Here is a previous post where this topic has been covered for NROTC: https://www.serviceacademyforums.com/index.php?threads/room-and-board.5429/ Here is also a website for AROTC that you can use to look up individual schools and see what incentives they may offer...

Sorry, I should have been more clear. When I dislocated my shoulder I also tore the labrum. Without surgery, the labrum never heals and it would be likely to dislocate again. The waiver officials have requested that I send all imaging (MRI, X-Ray, etc.), treatment notes (surgery report, etc.)...

Currently, I have an LOA to USAFA, pending nomination and medical qualification. My problem is that I've been DQ'd for shoulder dislocation that happened last month. :( I have scheduled a surgery for around the end of December. After surgery, I will have to do rehab and physical therapy to build...

If you get the national ROTC scholarship, can you still go reserve duty or national guard after graduation? Also, is it possible to have both the national scholarship for tuition and the minuteman scholarship for room and board?

If you tore your ACL you will be disqualified by DoDMERB. If you have surgery in June 2020, you might be able to get a waiver for an ROTC scholarship (depending on a lot of factors, like your recovery time). You will not be able to get into any academy for the class of 2024 because you won't...

I received the same message. I think that it is likely due to technical difficulties, not as a purposeful act by USMA to control application timelines.
