DS got DMG and an Ed Delay for medical school. He's interviewing for schools now! He's thrilled!

Do Ed Delays also get announced on this date?

Sorry I didn't see this yesterday. Here's the link and I believe you can find the video to watch from yesterday's family day and today's graduation: http://clc.futurearmyofficers.com/streaming-live/ Unfortunately the audio and video are pretty poor. I really wish they had done a better job...

Thanks for all the replies--pretty much what I thought, but its always good to get other opinions! Irv--Yes, I agree they have so many essays to write they should definitely get in somewhere--otherwise it was a huge time and money drain! Remaining secondaries are on hold because DS is at...

A bit of a strange question, I know. On one of DS's medical school applications it asks how many hours have you worked each year during the school year. He does not have a part-time job during the academic year, but ROTC is a significant time commitment, and he does receive his scholarship and...

My son is planning on doing this (AROTC). He's going to be a senior in college this fall. As Pima said, there are no guarantees. My son is currently applying to medical schools. You cannot request an educational delay until your senior year, so he will be working on this when he returns to...

I just received an email invitation to 13th regiment's graduation on the original planned date. So unless it's an automatic email sent out, then I guess they are keeping Reg 13 to the full length. I haven't heard anything otherwise. Anyone else heard anything official?

Well I'll let you know what we hear. DS had a challenging travel day. First DH had to create a bit of a scene at the ticketing counter (he's 26 year career AD so he's been around the block). Agent insisted that only military with active duty CAC cards could get free baggage. DH argued with...

Lucky #13 Yes, there are still Cadets out there who haven't left yet for LDAC. DS leaves on Sunday for the final LDAC--#13. He requested a late slot because he's applying to medical school and has to get all his essays done before he leaves, and he's still receiving them as of today...

Yes, Princeton has AROTC on campus. Now they have expanded to NROTC which is exciting. My son in in the AROTC program and has been very happy there! (And he appears in several of the photos in the linked article!)

Thanks for the confirmation. His command is helping him with the "best" time to send him to maximize his time to complete secondaries--I'm sure he's not the first or last in that position. He will plan accordingly! (hopefully!)

I have another LDAC parent question-- Do cadets have access to their computers/internet during training? I ask because my son is applying to medical schools this summer and also attending LDAC. There are secondary applications that will be sent out after the initial applications and they are...

I will awaken this thread with some thoughts for the OP. My DS is currently in his 2nd year of college on an ROTC scholarship at an Ivy school (by the way the only school that rejected him was JHU and he originally received his scholarship to UVA but was able to get it transferred). He is a...

My son received a waiver for migraines this past year. He received an AROTC scholarship. In order to receive his waiver he had to provide documentation (medical records) of his migraines and also a letter from his neurologist about his condition. Luckily for him, he hadn't had a significant...

What do they need for these dental records? Just x-rays or more? Can we request them in advance from Dentist or does Dentist need to send them directly?

Should my DS have gotten a packet or heard from his AROTC detatchment by now (school starts in Sep)? We received the bill for school and I called to ask them what we pay/the scholarship pays and I was told there was a form that needed to be submitted. DS had no idea about this form since he's...

DKR--by any chance are you an Eagle Scout? If so, go to one of A&M's Eagle weekends (one if fall, one in spring). You get an automatic scholarship handed to you that will qualify you for in-state tuition. You are also considered for other scholarships. My son got in-state tuition and one or...

Thanks for the information. I just found out about the AFROTC situation last night. My friend's son just finished his first year on AFROTC scholarship and told her about one of the cadets (2nd year) losing his scholarship. Friend's son is worried about his scholarship. He says that it is...

Don't forget that VT has an early application process, so do that if it is your top choice school!

He will be attending Princeton. Where will you be going? Congratulations!
