    How to improve my mile time?

    As other people have suggested, CC and Track are great ways to lower that mile time. For me personally, it was an incredible experience that drastically improved my mile time. However, if you can't go to the actual practices, I highly recommend speaking to the CC/Track coaches and requesting to...

    Curious whether anyone has been upgraded from the 3-year scholarship to the 4-year. Has anyone heard of any upgrades?

    @MohawkArmyROTC likely would be most qualified to answer this question. Hopefully, Mohawk can shed some light on your situation.

    Yeah, I did not notice it until quite a while after I was informed as well.

    Differences in Scholarships

    I did not apply for a NROTC scholarship nor am I an expert in them. But I do believe that accepting a scholarship now simply "reserves" your scholarship, and you can decline it later. Many people who get into the SAs also have ROTC scholarships which they turn down later as they enter the...

    Likelihood of scholarship without Varsity sports

    To reiterate what others have confirmed, it is certainly possible to receive an ROTC scholarship without varsity sports. I received an AROTC scholarship, despite having no varsity sports. I do participate actively in CAP, and I did quite well on my fitness test. Hopefully, after seeing these...

    AROTC Scholarship Application

    I think what you said about the interview is an excellent point. It is easy for people to mistake what their interviewers are thinking. In my experience, some of the best interviewers are the ones who hide their feelings. That is not to say you can't make a guess, just that it is certainly easy...

    ROTC Non-Selects Hub

    Just to put in my two cents, I selected colleges of similar if not greater expense. I was indeed granted a scholarship to 2 schools with similar costs to Yale. I also had 3 other schools of similar cost. I do not believe that school selection plays a large role in the scholarship process.

    Should the internet be my first source of advice.

    What Capt MJ wrote is absolutely correct. I also highly recommend reaching out to the recruiting officers via phone and email. It might take some time to get into contact with them, so be persistent. I know that some of the larger programs tend to have a lot of interest, so they might take more...

    Army ROTC Scholarship Acceptance & Next Steps

    I got the spreadsheet. It reiterated the information I received from my ROTC program contacts which was great to see. I can't imagine how much time was put into making the spreadsheet. If anyone else is lurking here, I would highly recommend getting the spreadsheet. While it wasn't as useful for...

    AROTC 3rd Board

    I wonder whether this board will be faster or slower than previous boards this year? I imagine that the third board would not have as many applications to review, but I really don't know.

    AROTC Scholarship vaccine religious exemption question

    I can't speak for your family medical history and what potential side effects it might have (your doctors would be more qualified for that). But based on both my experience as well as the experiences of my family and friends, the main side effect appears to be feeling like you caught a small...

    Army ROTC Scholarship Acceptance & Next Steps

    Thanks for this tip! I will definitely be reaching out and listening to the podcast. Out of curiosity, to get the list from the person making this podcast should I listen to any particular episode of the podcast? I definitely intend to listen in to a few more of these when I have time, but...

    One time Marijuana/Alcohol Use Security Clearance

    Interesting point. I never thought about it. I had a brief glance over my DODMERB questionnaire but I couldn't find anything asking about alcohol. Perhaps they assume that if you have consumed alcohol you won't bother to report it and there won't be an easy way to prove your status?
