DS used Stew Smith's APFT book to prepare for first APFT this past fall. He's an MS1. He has since dropped almost 2 minutes off his run by doing a lot of sprints and treadmill runs. If you set that pace you want on the treadmill it kind of forces you to run at that speed. :) Some of the Stew...

DS is a MSI, 4 year AROTC scholarship winner.

My son took the ACT. He downloaded the score sheet from the ACT website and sent it in with his ROTC paperwork.

Stew Smith has a 15 day pull up push plan. There is an app you can use with it. http://www.stewsmith.com/linkpages/pulluppush.htm

Thank you @AROTC-dad ! Your posts are alwasy so helpful! I will continue to learn from these forums and hopefully can share more in the future.

Congratulations! What an amazing opportunity for you to have two wonderful scholarships to choose from!! Good luck with your big decision.

Thank you jcleppe! We attended a parent information session at the academy while my son was spending the day with a cadet in 2017. The RC running the session said to be very cautious with information found on the forums and that they don’t recommend the forums as a reliable source of...

He started his application the summer before his senior year. He did th fitness test during the summer and his interview once the closest ROTC batallion started back up for the new school year in September of his senior year.

Good luck to your son!

Thank you! :)

Thank you @KYparent ! Good luck to your DD as well! This sure is an exciting time in their lives!

I truly believe that when one door closes, another opens. My son is a senior and over the past 15 months has completed applications to USMA, USNA, USAFA, AFROTC and AROTC. West Point and serving in the Army had always been his first goal. He applied to the other branches so he could learn about...

DS received a call from ROO today that he was upgraded from a 3 year AD to a 4 year scholarship! We are so proud of him. What a blessing. Congrats to all of the hard earned scholarship winners.

We have wondered this same thing. DS is lineman and talking to coaches at the D3 school where he has accepted his scholarship. He has a 3 year scholarship and the documents state he must make weight standards by October of his sophomore year if I remember correctly. As much as I would love to...

DS received same email yesterday that he received after the last board. It states he was not selected but is in the running for the March 5 board. o_O Whoopsie. Status on portal still says boarded. I am assuming no scholarship. Thankful he has AROTC 3 year scholarship. He had applied to both...

Ok thank you. We will go through everything again and look for a deadline.

Thank you. It was his #2 school and he was offered 1, 3 and 4. The Roo has said he could request a transfer when he visited (they still had him come to the shadow day after the board results) but we will make sure. Thanks for the input.

DS accepted his 3 year scholarship yesterday after a stressful few weeks visiting and choosing between the 3 schools. He is still torn between his #1 on the list and one other great in-state school that was not on his offer. I realize that most schools make you leave a deposit or make a decision...

We recently looked at the admissions instructions again as DS took the Feb ACT. He is a candidate for 2022. I believe it states they only accept the ACT with writing.

We are trying to hit 3 schools in 2 states in the next 15 days! 2 of the 3 DS had offers we have not visited. We couldn't do any overnights during the fall due to high school Football schedule. Thankfully, all 3 schools have offered overnight visits.
