    AROTC Has Not Gone As Planned or Hoped

    Well, it's been a long time since I've been out here. Things have not gone anything like DH & I expected & I would appreciate some input. DS received 3-yr AROTC national scholarship & was promptly upgraded to 3 1/2 upon arriving on campus. In addition to that, he also left for college with...

    CIET Cancelled?

    I don't know if a thread has already been started about this (I didn't see one), but I just spoke with my DS who is an MS1 AROTC cadet, and he said they were informed by cadre this week that CIET has been cancelled due to lack of funds. Has anyone else heard about this?

    My DS was awarded a 3yr AD AROTC scholarship on the second board. His ROO has discussed with him the possibility of upgrading to a 3.5 or 4 yr. once he has been on campus a bit. The ROO instructed DS to bring workout clothes with him when we come to the school for orientation in June so that he...

    How to Select Room/Board Option for AROTC Scholarship

    I'm looking at the award letter that uploaded into DS application portal and it says, "Scholarship Tuition: Full Tuition". If we want to use it for Room/Board, which I know has monetary limitations placed on it, how do we do that?

    Problem with info provided to Army CC by Guidance Counselor

    DS guidance counselor responded yesterday to the email from CC. DS application dashboard has already been updated to reflect the response. However, it looks as though the counselor made a mistake when keying in the ACT scores. It was our understanding that CC super scores the ACT. However...

    GPA Changed on AROTC Portal

    I don't know if anyone can give me insight as to what's going on or not, but the CGPA(UW) DS originally keyed in to the application portal has changed downward by a 10th. I figure it could be one of three things: 1. CC rounds down, instead of up. DS rounded up to the nearest 10th when he...

    Does anyone happen to know if it would add any value to DS application if he were to indicate that he is part of the Gifted Program, or will the honors, AP, & college classes showing on his transcripts be sufficient?

    Couple of Misc. Questions RE: AROTC Scholarship Appl.

    1. I read or heard somewhere (don't remember if it was on this forum or not), that if DS had a martial arts background, he should put it on his scholarship application. He earned his black belt in Taekwondo, but he was only around 10 or 11 years old when he earned it. Should he go ahead and...

    Anyone Having Problems with New AROTC Application?

    My DS has been having problems with the newly formatted online application for the AROTC scholarship. For instance, there are several fields that require the use of a drop-down list (i.e. selecting the colleges they are interested in). However, it won't save the information he has selected and...

    Is ACT Superscored for AROTC Scholarship?

    I just want to verify the fact that the ACT is superscored for the purposes of the AROTC scholarship application. I seem to recall reading on one of the threads that it was.

    AROTC Scholarship PFT Standards/Scoring

    I know that there are published ranges of scores for the Army ROTC APFT to determine how well a cadet performs on the test. However, I've tried (without success) to conduct several searches on this forum and via Google to find comparable ranges of scores for the PFT for the purposes of the...

    AROTC- Beginning Scholarship Appl. Process

    The application window is finally opening on 2/1/13 (for fall 2014 college start date). Am I correct in the understanding that once DS has created an account and started entering information, he can stop part-way through the application and go back to it at a later date without losing any...
