They used to be same line 3.8 and 24 ACT were same line....there was also a line for Valedictorian/Salutatorian. It may take 3 now since they removed Valedictorian line and split GPA and ACT. My guide is 2021 version.

just noticed that I will delete it

DS did send an email to the address on Scholarship page asking if SAT could be removed to avoid confusion. If not no big deal.

yes they have both...his ACT scores are worth 30 points more than SAT and he has taken them again in Oct hoping for even more gain. Moderator note: Edited by Stealth_81 to remove personal info.

I have a question for you guys. My son took SAT as a Junior and then ACT. He has focused on increasing his ACT score which he has. His SAT score is lower and is showing up on his AROTC dashboard since ROTC was a listed recipient and it is on his transcript. It is lower since he never re-took the...

TCU is at the very top of my DS list!

Ole Miss is one that specifically outlined it in their email. I appreciate you reaching out. Sounds like you are a well-rounded young man and someone we would love to have in our program. The University of Mississippi does not provide room and board scholarships to Air Force ROTC cadets. The...

True. He is pursuing all avenues. He has more flexible major options with AROTC. If he doesn't branch aviation he will likely use GI bill for flight school after his officer commitment.

My 3rd son wants to fly but I saw the high stat cadets that got cut and that scares the bejesus out of us. He is applying to both but I also noted several schools of his offer R&B add on to AROTC cadets but not AFROTC. He will likely choose AROTC...if he has choice.

MY DS won a 4 year on 2nd board 2 years ago. He didn't even apply for first board.

I don't think it has a bearing. They rank applicants according to the formula by points and go down the list top to bottom. If there are 5000 applicants total in a general year they have some idea where the top 1000 land. If the top score is 1400 and historically the total score may range down...

When do they start getting ranked? MS3 year?

It can be done but it is a priority to juggle. My DS plays volleyball. The schedule of practices makes the already tight schedule tougher. He did it year one. He had to miss Nationals for volleyball due to ROTC. This year he found himself a research position which he needs for med school resume...

my third son is considering Wyoming. Does your cadet like Wyoming? Would you mined messaging me which merit scholarship? All I have seen for nonresident is Brown& Gold scholarship.

yes

he did text me and tell me he had a temp solution of borrowing one from an MS4 he is friends with...I do notice the difference a year has made in his growth. He was just made squad leader over some MS3s so he must be handling his stuff pretty well. I was thinking buying his AGSU as as gift for...

Can anyone fill me in on what is "provided" and what my son is expected to provide? His Kyloc got him his ACU and ASU Class B. His Class B came with broken belt. I'm looking for a place to buy him a belt. Their local store isn't close enough for him to get to. I asked where I could order and he...

MY DS is a current MSII AROTC cadet. Nothing official from University automatically giving room and board....but he received a Alcala Scholarship and USD Grant.....both of them stand alone enough for room and board. He is one year in and the University/One Stop is very accommodating. They take...
