So back in March, I received my financial aid form from VMI. Cost of attending and the burden of debt was something very serious to me, so I was obviously happy to see that I had won $13,000 in merit scholarships and another $2000 in loans- enough to cover Room and Board with my AROTC...

Alright well the time is getting near, so I had some STP questions to help get a better idea of what it's going to be like come June? 1. What's the average daily schedule? How often are classes, workouts, etc? 2. What is the dress code? Not uniforms right, just civilian clothing? 3...

I was awarded a 4-year Army ROTC scholarship to VMI in November, I am officially DoDMERB qualified and paid my enrollment deposit to VMI a few days ago. I'm excited about attending the Institute, but had some questions about where to go from here regarding having my scholarship pay for VMI...

Finished my medical exams and eye exam on last Friday (Dec 20). DODMETS received all my forms by 12/23, and went I went on to check my file status on DODMETS, all it said was "all necessary materials have been forwarded to DODMERB" with a link to the DODMERB website. I'm assuming the DODMERB...

Lately while I've been trying to make my school selection and telling people about VMI/ROTC, they've seemed to ask me, "Do you want to make a career out of the military?" I was always under the impression that being in the military was just a stage of your life, people serve in the military...

Thought it would be cool to make this thread and see where everyone is going, as well as help future applicants that want to see where everyone went with their stats. So post your screen name, branch (and type for Navy/AF, years for Army), and what school you're accepting it to. I realize it's...

Got my DODMERB letter and registered on the DODMETS site just like it said. It then informed me that I need to start calling providers to set up appointments in the next 5 days, and need to complete my exams in 6 weeks. Are these timelines set in stone? With finals and the holidays coming...

Just got the Army ROTC scholarship, and they say they are going to alert DodMERB that I need a physical. I don't have to do anything from here except wait for the letter from DoDMERB, right? Also, what all is included in the physical? How long does one usually last? I'm envisioning a normal...

Little back story: I was mainly interested in Army ROTC. However, I was at a friend's house whose dad attended USNA, and he immediately recommended USCGA to me. He said he would have gone there if he could do it again, and made me sit down and check out the website. I know I'm probably late...

So apparently the govt is due to shut down October 1st... What's it mean for us applying for the 4-year scholarship? Has the Army already been set aside its money for the scholarships and there will be no affect, or will considerably less people get an ROTC scholarship this year?

Got this email from an Army ROTC cadre at UNG. I'll just put in the important parts: And more about UNG specifically: So there you have it. Roughy 8500 applicants for 2500 scholarships last year.

I met with the fine folks at a reputable Big 10 school today and I loved their program! I was visiting campus for a high school student experience day, and just happened to walk into the ROTC Armory and find some cadre! Basically, they sold me on going Guard and doing SMP while in ROTC. I'd...

I was cleared on my AROTC portal to interview with a PMS! I'll be scheduling it in a few days, but does anyone have any advice for the interview? How formal do I dress? Do they tend to really grill you, or are they fairly relaxed on the questions? Is there any paperwork or extra material I...

So I'm applying for the Army ROTC scholarship, but a Navy recruiter has been contacting me and I'm also interested in opportunities there. He says that I can enlist and be in the DEP, but if I win the scholarship the Navy will void my enlistment contract and I'm free to go. Is this true? Or...

Say someone won an ROTC scholarship, but DODMERB determined that they were not medically fit to serve. Could that person go and try to enlist in another branch, possibly getting a waiver? How long does the DODMERB "ruling" last? I've heard two years, but that means the person could keep...

I started my online Army ROTC application online and everything has been going smoothly. However, there is a section called "File Upload" where there are spots to upload transcripts and the physical fitness test. For the transcripts, I had my school send them to CC via US Mail. Will CC...

This is a fairly specific question, but does anyone know if Florida Atlantic University Army ROTC is a crosstown affiliate, or do they have their own program on campus? I've visited Boca Raton and want to list it on my application, but I really don't want to have to commute through that area to...

Does anyone know when VMI opens their application? I just got an application in the mail from Norwich, so I'm assuming VMI should open soon.

Asking for a friend: Would now be considered a little too late in the game to apply for the AFROTC scholarship for those who will be HS seniors next year? Is it rolling admissions, like the NROTC scholarship? I told him to just apply and see what happens, but he thinks he has no chance...

I understand that for the Army ROTC application you have to list what you will be majoring in while on the scholarship, but what if you would have different majors at different schools you list? For example, I may want to major in Computer Science at VMI, but Computer Security at Norwich. How...
