    Can an AFROTC cadet take Army ROTC classes?

    At my school, we had one person actually do all four years of mil sci who wasn't in ROTC. He just wanted to get the minor for it. He went to all the classes just not lab. (Not AROTC but have many friends in it)

    AFROTC & Depression

    Hello, I'm an AS300 and have been contracted on scholarship for 3 years. I have never seen a therapist or counselor because I have always believed I can solve my own emotional problems with enough will power. I have had minor episodes of sadness and lack of motivation in the past for a couple...

    Study abroad with 5 year approved major

    Hello soon to AS200 here, first off no I have not talked to my Cadre yet. I plan to either bring up or request to do a semester abroad this year or next. My only rationale to bring it up next year instead of now is because my French will be much better, I'll be a POC (hopefully, LEAD is never...

    AFROTC at Elite Institution

    I was offered one a while ago, but it was for an in-state public school so it didn't make a difference if it was type 1, 2, or 7. I think I remember him saying it was equivalent to a type 2, but I could be remembering wrong. It would make sense since type sevens are only good for in-state public...

    AFROTC at Elite Institution

    Just noticed this thread. As far as EA's go here is the formula they use to calculate your score Don't know what all the variable names in the RSS formula mean though. It was given to me earlier this year. These are the only things that go into decisions for EA's. I will say that I have...

    College credit in high school

    I'll be going int AFROTC and I heard that if you are taking college credit classes in high school then your grades will effect your selection for SFT just like your normal college gpa does for college. Let me clarify. My school does not offer AP courses. We instead uses a program called...

On my resume I had no sports or clubs listed (they were on my activity sheet) I only had a list of specific events where I was a leader. I could PM you what...

    Attending AFROTC with a different detachment

    I've never heard of that being done... To my knowledge, that wouldn't be allowed because the reason people from different schools are allowed to be in a certain college's detachment is because that college has a cross-town agreement with the student's college. You would have to either attend...

    AFROTC "Any Approved Major" Question

    Did your son have a non technical major when he applied for HSSP? If so, then that's what it most likely means. The Air Force weights tech majors more highly so it is harder to get a scholarship with non tech majors. For me I was was given the scholarship with a tech major so it would be very...

    AFROTC great news! but it's bitter sweat

    Wow really!!! A 33 ACT and 3.96 with all the other stuff. You sound like a shoe in for type 1. I wonder why they put you as type 7. Take a look at my stats: http://www.serviceacademyforums.com/index.php?threads/afrotc-first-board-results.45820/ I got the same type but have no where near as...
