If you put down deposits at two universities, regardless of the scholarship situation, you run the risk of having both acceptances rescinded. That all operates independently of ROTC at most schools, or at least that is what I have gathered since I'm trying to figure out a similar situation...

I want to take a gap year for the travel and work experience - if I do it, I will work as an au pair in Germany. I was thinking of taking college classes over the summer just because I'll be home working & like to keep busy. There was a constitutional law class that looked fun and I want to...

If I were to take a gap year and possibly reapply to schools, would I be allowed to reapply for a scholarship as a freshman and reuse my HS record? In general, what is the policy for gap year students? If I were to take classes at a local university over the summer, would that mess up my status...

Again, thanks to jcleppe, goaliedad, and others - you are all a wealth of information and I really, really appreciate it. I promise I'm not being lazy - I have been searching the forums and utilizing Google, but nothing quite compares to having a single source lay it all out. When you are...

I don't want to be an accountant. I'm drawn to Chicago because of the quality of education offered. In my opinion, it is equivalent to an Ivy, even if it wasn't part of some arbitrary sports league a century ago or so. I know that UVM is a very good school and I'm not trying to say that it isn't...

Wow - so many helpful replies. Thank you all so much. I just emailed the ROO at UIC with some of the questions that were suggested and also some of my own. That article was really interesting - the James McKinney mentioned seems to be the only UChicago student to do ROTC in recent years. I...

Hi, Tonight, I discovered that I have been awarded an AROTC scholarship to the University of Vermont. I am so incredibly happy and excited to have received a scholarship - I assumed that I wouldn't get one because I applied so late. The problem is that my college list has changed drastically...

Ha. Yeah...I didn't want to open that can of worms without actually knowing for sure if I had to. I'm trying to figure out how best to approach this: hey, Mom, by the way, I might be a contracted Army cadet by this time next year. That cool?

I got one for the University of Vermont. I absolutely did not expect this at all. Wow. I'm stunned. in a good way!! It's still a mess though, because I'm also considering UChicago and I've been waitlisted at Middlebury. When I applied for the scholarship, I wasn't even really considering Midd...

Great- thanks for the quick reply

Quick question- am I allowed to have someone run with me during the 1 mile run for the AROTC fitness test? Thanks

Hi, Due to a complicated series of events, my AROTC application was just submitted 2 days before the deadline. Since I'm applying on my own, and no one I know has experience with ROTC applications, I'm a bit lost with regards to what my next steps should be. 1. I know that an interview is...
