She did both at the same time. But pharmacy school was only 5 years then too....

You need to talk to your Cadre. They are the only ones that can authorize the start of the change. My DD was successful in going from a Tier 1 to a language, but her Cadre supported the change. And don't be surprised if they change your Tier 1 to a Tier 2 scholarship (if they still exist).

My DD's took about 90 minutes.

The AFROTC scholarship program is seperate from the college application process. You have to list colleges on the scholarship application, but you need to apply to the schools seperately. They should be done at the same time. If not applying for the scholarship then you apply to the schools...

Sorry, I was assuming that you may be attending university here then otherwise and then reapplying, in which case, you could've participated in ROTC. Good luck.

Can't you particpate in ROTC as a regular college course? Not with the intention of trying to commission that way, but if you could participate as a freshman, then it may look good on your reap?

What we told our DD was, "If you dont' get into the SA (she didn't), which will help you at a civillian school?" She went with the Dual Enrollment instead because it was easier to correlate the courses for credit we felt.

Which branch? You'd be surprised that the majority are usally CPers. And unless someone says anything, you won't know who is or isn't. Scratch that, I know at A&M the NROTC scholarship guys had a ribbon on their uniform. But AFROTC at my DD's place doesn't designate.

Think of it this way, if there is any chance that there is documentation in a regard somewhere regarding a question, you should probably answer yes and include any documentation you can to clarify the question.

Don't know about a waiver, but my DD's friend was denied for similar reasons for AFROTC and was told he had to wait for 3 years before he'd be considered. Hope that you don't have to wait though!

His best bet is to reach out to the unit directly. They deal with this all the time and are best to advise him. Not familiar with VT but A&M anyone in ROTC is automatically in the Corp. If a CP, may have to actually apply for entry into the ROTC program (A&M ROTC is that way). Even as a...

Wow, is that a VP nomination that appeared???

No not true. Just participate, stand out (in a good way), and show you want to be there.

My DS was in TX (we are PA) when trying to reapply. It is the same process as previous. The only hurdle may be the nomination interviews. Both Senators were able to do it via teleconference (was pre-Covid) but the local rep required in person, so he had to come home over Thanksgiving his...

Our local representative's liason always said they can tell if the applicant's doing it for themselves or their parents when they come in for an interview. And she said by not giving them a nomination, it gives them an "out" that they don't have to lie to their parents about. Thought that was...
