    Illinois AFROTC Tuition Waiver

    PT Training

    Question about the Army ROTC PT Test I understand it is 2 minutes of pushups, 2 minutes of situps and a 2 mile run. Min score of 180 is based on 60 pushups, 60 situps and 15:58 2 mile. What is required for max score? And my biggest question, are each of the events done sequential like the...

    AROTC School Transfers from the March Board

    Wow, that was quick! Congratulations on your quick transfer, wonder why ours is taking longer. Its in-state to in-state, same cost, good reason (the school they offered doesn't have civil engineering). Go figure. Well, hopefully we will have word soon.

    AROTC School Transfers from the March Board

    Anyone else waiting for word from Cadet Command on a school transfer from the March board? We have one pending since Monday (in-state public to better in-state public). No indication from them when we might have a decision, kind of puts us in risky situation with college acceptance deadline...

    School Transfer for AROTC scholarship?

    Transfer We will be requesting a transfer from in-state to another in-state with same tuition and fees. I assume that, based on other posts, our chances are pretty good of getting the transfer approved in this circumstance. Anybody disagree?

    School Transfer for AROTC scholarship?

    Transfer Colleges now available on the status portal. 3rd and 5th choices were offered (an in-state and an out of state public), both ruled out now for various reasons. 1st choice was flagship in-state to which he has already accepted admission and plans to attend regardless. CC...

    What Will by AROTC Scholarship Pay?

    My son's portal says he has an offer pending. Thats great! As we're now sitting down to narrow down college selection I have a question about what exactly is paid by the Army and what our cost will be.

    Summer Training Question

    I read someplace that AROTC cadets may opt to attend Airborne, Air Assault or other AD schools over the summer with PMS recommendation. Would this option be available after freshmen year and how hard is it to get one of these slots?

    March 8th, 2011 AROTC Board

    USMA QNS - AROTC Chances My son received his letter of regret from USMA today, he was fully qualified and nominated, just didn't make the cut in this very competitive year. Rough day. Is there any truth to the rumor that fully qualified and not selected academy candidates get special...

    Wait Listed

    No TWE OK so my son was December 09' SLS acceptance, 3Qd and nominated by early November. Not LOA worthy but on par with many as far as I can tell from these forums...in short admittable. At this point (March 25th) no appointment and no TWE. E-mails to WP admissions go unanswered. No...

    Hold Tight!

    As we approach the Feb 28 deadline, what exactly changes in the admissions process that leads to most appointments thereafter? Are they waiting for final updates from candidates in most competitive districts before they call them...thus setting in motion a cascade of NWL, denials and subsequent...

    Dodmerb and heart murmur

    MVP History My candidate will be doing his DODMERB exam this summer. He was told he had mild MVP (Mitral Valve Prolapse) a few years ago but has no symptoms. This manifests itself as faint murmur that some doctors can't even detect. How should we handle this at the exam? What is most likely...
