I have been awarded an AROTC Four-Year Scholarship to my #3 choice school and I have a few questions: Will accepting the ROTC scholarship bind me to attend the school the scholarship is being offered to? For example, if I would accept the scholarship now and decide not to attend that school...

I recently took the CFA and the results were posted to my candidate portal by my gym teacher. I just noticed on my USMA candidate portal today that I have been authorized to retake the Candidate Fitness Assessment. Does this mean I failed the CFA? I looked at the "CFA Instructions"...

I just checked my DoDMERB medical status today and my current status is listed as "Does Not Meet Medical Standards." I believe it is due to my history of eczema on the skin on my legs and hands. A remedial was requested a few weeks back asking for any medical documents pertaining to my eczema...

I just received my December ACT test scores today: I currently have a 28 in Math and a 31 in Reading. My question is, if I take the ACT scheduled for Febuary 9, will West Point receive my scores in time for them to be reviewed for my admissions decision? I have heard that most offers of...

I am a female and I have been trying to increase my pull-ups for some time now. I started out with assisted pull-ups and lifted about half my body weight and was told to practice negative pull-ups, but I cannot lower myself slowly enough in order to get the full effect of supporting all my body...

Will a September 19th ROTC scholarship interview be too late in order to meet the first board? My application and supporting documents need to be submitted by October 1st, so will completing the interview on September 19th be cutting it too close? The PMS at my top-choice school told me...

Only 50% of the graduates from my high school go on to attend four-year colleges and universities. The average SAT scores are below 500 for all sections. Also, my school only offers five AP courses and I am currently on track to complete three of them. I would be scheduled to take more, but...

I am going into my senior year and am currently working on my application to West Point. How do I convey my interest in accepting a USMAPS appointment in case I do not get accepted to West Point? Do I contact my Northeast Admissions coordinator or my district coordinator? Also, is a...

I have not seen this question addressed on the forum so I figured I would ask: How does the Army ROTC four-year scholarship board assign points to the PFT? What is the scoring table and what is the max score on each event (push-ups, curl-ups, and one mile run) that a scholarship applicant...
