    How do I know if qualified or not?

    You are close. It took my son's DoDMERB status 8 days to be completed once the system stated "Under DoDMERB review". The status appeared on the web portal and he received a letter one week later.

    AROTC DoDMERB Waiver Process

    That is interesting because my son is also going through the waiver process. He contacted Cadet Command and they are handling all of the paperwork on his behalf. At last update, his packet was submitted to the Cadet Command Surgeon for review. They told him that no additional paperwork /...

    AROTC Contact with ROO vs PMS

    I'm sure every school is different, but when my son needed a question answered he emailed the ROO and cc'd the PMS. This was the recommended method from the two back when he started the application process. He generally had a response by email or a phone call from one of the two by the next...

    Scholarship acceptance date

    Accept the scholarship and worry about the school later. If you do not accept the scholarship before the deadline, you will lose it.

    AROTC Scholarship PFT Standards/Scoring

    There should be instructions on the PFT Form provided, which is different than the APFT. Here is what was on my son's PFT form he turned in with his packet. Instructions: Have student lie on cushioned, clean surface with knees flexed and feet about 12 inches from buttocks. Partner holds...

    3 Yr vs. 4 yr

    I'm sure there are a lot of factors such as school selection, costs, etc. That being said, my son was offered both 4 year and 3 year scholarships to different schools. The 4 year offer was to a school where he also has two additional merit scholarships and he included that information with his...

    I agree with this approach! The PMS told my son that too many applicants these days look at this as a free college education and lose perspective of what this program is all about. My son's response was "this is not about a free education for me, it is about a goal to become an Army Officer...
