When do the 3 year winners take their APFT? Prior to beginning sophomore year?

Quick question. DS applied to schools and for scholarship in mechanical engineering but after his overnight at VMI and talking with department heads he feels like he may be more interested in civil engineering and the Corp of engineers upon commissioning. I'm certain changing his major at VMI...

It is my understanding that DS has 30 days to accept his scholarship and select the school. Is this correct and is it 30 days from when his portal changed or from when he gets the letter in the mail? We are working on some financing for year one and it will determine his school. Wondering our...

Anybody know about how long it takes once DoDMERB status changes to qualified for that to transfer to WP? WP application still says remedial.

DS had an xray yesterday for a remedial. Will we get copies of the results, or just DoDMERB?

Hi - I guess I have a question or two. DS completed his DoDMERB. His status updated today to say Remedial Requested. There is no code listed yet. I think I understand DQ, and am happy it didn't say that at this time. What happens next? Because it says remedial does that mean he will need a...

Will they tell you at the physical if you have potential DQ, or if you passed? Or do you just have to keep checking the portal after the fact? How long does it take for the results to show? Thanks.

I am not very familiar with the military, so please understand if this is a dumb question. My son plans on attending VMI as an Engineering major. Currently Mechanical, but thinking he may want to switch to Civil. He is hoping for an AROTC scholarship and to commission as a 2nd Lt upon...

DS file is complete. 7th semester transcript showing, everything is green. He has 2 nominations. His Medical still says no action. With the deadline looming we are concerned. He sent an email, but has heard nothing. Thoughts on what to do?

DS is hoping to attend VMI in the fall. He has been accepted and is completing the paperwork to secure his spot. He is also waiting on the 3rd board for the AROTC scholarship decisions. He wants to speak with a contact at VMI as he has a couple questions and to touch base. I read on here they...

My DS file has been done for a while except 7th semester transcript is still not showing. Nothing about DodMERB sent yet. Does that mean he isn't being considered? Not sure how that can happen by the 28th, or is there enough time. We did start the process late unfortunately, but he has been...

I apologize if this is addressed somewhere, I could not find it. Does anyone know the % or points awarded and different components of the application? I know they look at GPA, SAT/ACT, Sports/ school clubs, leadership, PFT, the interview etc. Probably missing some things. Does anyone know how...

My DS is currently waiting on 3rd board for possible AROTC scholarship. He has been accepted to Norwich, VMI, Citadel and Campbell. VMI is his 1st choice school. He plans to major in mechanical or civil engineering. He plans to reach out the the ROO officer. I was wondering if there are...

Not really sure where this belongs so, if here is wrong, I apologize. My son has plans to major in Mechanical Engineering. He plans to commission in to the Army. He is hoping for an AROTC scholarship. The dilemma is when we search MOS' on the Army website none of them that come up for...

DS is doing the VMI overnight Friday. It says dress is casual. I have poked through the forums and I see kahki and polo recommended. DS only has one pair of kahkis. Will nice jeans and a nice shirt be acceptable? Or is there a trip to the store in my future? Also, for parents attending are...

My son received a Congressional Nomination in late December. It is still not showing in his portal. I know the congressmen had until 1/31 to notify, so I wasn't worried. Now I am.

Hi all, My son had his AROTC interview on Jan 22. His application is still showing interviewee. Does it normally take that long to change? Should he follow up with the person he interviewed with? Thanks

Son had is interview today and it went very well. Was told he is a very strong candidate and he had the highest ACT score of the 30 interviewees. My question is when are the next boards? I thought they were at the end of February, but today we were told April and would hear in June. Thanks

DS got his VMI acceptance today!!! This is currently his first choice school. Question about scholarships, if anyone knows. Would the offer have come with the acceptance if he were getting one? Or would it be in the packet they said to expect shortly? TIA

Is the CFA a pass/ fail thing or a points think like the PFT for the ROTC scholarship? Does not performing give you a zero chance of appointment or is it part of the "total package" ?
