    Army ROTC 2nd Board Results

    I will suggest that. It's not like he has anything to lose at this point.

    Army ROTC 2nd Board Results

    Any others have a rollercoaster of emotions this week? DS went from the thrill of getting a 4-yr scholarship to a first-choice school, only to have his dreams dashed by an (early decision) admissions denial letter two days later. DS will look again at his other option to use his scholarship, but...

    Army ROTC and Weight Standards

    DS is underweight for Army weight standards by about 10-12 pounds. Apparently, he will not be DQ'd by DoDMERB, as long as it isn't because of a medical condition, which it isn't. He's going to start working with a nutritionist, but putting on weight has always been a challenge for him. Does...

    Army ROTC 2nd Board Results

    Woo hoo. DS got 4 yr for 1st and 3rd choices! :) Congrats to the other winners, and if it didn't happen this round, hang in there a while longer. Could still happen!

    Johns Hopkins University AROTC

    Thank you so much for following up. We should know in the next few days what the options are, with ROTC scholarship board results coming and JHU admissions decisions being released soon. I will let my son know about the updates to the website! If JHU is in the cards, I'm guessing he will want to...

    Army ROTC 2nd Board Results

    I am glad I don't have any login info, because I might be tempted to obsessively check several times a day for status changes. I'm anxious, but my scholarship applicant son is very relaxed and confident whatever is best is what will happen! Good luck to everyone and hoping for good news soon!

    Johns Hopkins University AROTC

    Son sent an email to someone in their office a few days ago. I have a feeling they might wait until they return to campus before answering, but hopefully, they will have some additional info about their unit to share.

    Johns Hopkins University AROTC

    Thanks to everyone who responded. Son finished his early decision application for JHU, and has PMS interview for ROTC scholarship Monday. He's excited to see how this all turns out, and I am too! When my older son was applying to USMA and AROTC, he found everyone very helpful, so I am confident...

    Johns Hopkins University AROTC

    Their website has good info on their cadre and the history of the battalion... and there is a broken link that is supposed to go to a map of where their office is located on campus. So, we know they have offices there somewhere, but not much else. The JHU AFROTC page prominently states they take...

    Johns Hopkins University AROTC

    Son has applied early decision to JHU and listed it on his Army ROTC scholarship application. It sounds like a small unit, which probably explains why I haven't found much information searching this forum. Does anyone have any insight/experience with AROTC at JHU? Do the Army ROTC cadets have to...

    West Point SLE 2021

    My personal opinion is not to close any doors at this point. With the exception of the nominations process, just about everything he would do for SA applications is relevant to ROTC applications. My 2023 cadet agrees that even if he were to not receive an appointment, the process in itself was a...

    Marksmanship or Track?

    My son was on rifle team all 4 years of high school (JROTC sporter class) and earned 3 varsity letters and served as team captain 2 years. He did end up joining track for 2 seasons, but really just to help with physical conditioning. He did not letter in track. He wound up on the D1 rifle team...

    Major Increase in 7th Semester Transcript GPA

    My now 2023 cadet, who had an early LOA, had to submit transcripts from 7th semester and 8th semester last year. He got an offer of appointment in January. I think admissions just wants to see that applicants are keeping up on their academics during senior year when it’s tempting to let things...

    Class of 2023 Boot memo out

    We spent over an hour finding the Bates Durashocks in the right size. I got the last 12s on Amazon, and several other sites were sold out in many sizes. Then we looked for boots and couldn’t find the Garmont T8 Bifida II model... just T8 Bifida. Went ahead a bought them. Hoping the Bifida II...
