    How do I know if my waiver is granted?

    Hi, I was awarded an Army ROTC scholarship but the DoDMERB website says I was disqualified and under the ROTC heading it says pending waiver submission/review. I heard back from the USAFA and USMA directly that I was not given a waiver (I didn't finish the apps) but I haven't heard from...

    Updating my activities?

    Hi, Since I filled out my SS application, I have participated in several notable activities that I would like to update my application with. How would I go about doing this? The only way that I can see is to email the Admissions Team, unless there is a form that I'm just not seeing...

    Recreational sports?

    I play basketball in a town-league that I suppose is considered "recreational" since there aren't cuts made. I was just wondering if, on the ROTC app, it falls under (J.V., Legion, Babe Ruth, etc. "No intramurals") or (City/County Organized League) Or if it is neither and doesn't warrant a...

    Making turns on shuttle run?

    Hi, Now that Track is over, I recently began training for the CFA so that I can take it (and do above-average on everything) around mid- to late- August. Anyway, I decided I'd run a few practice shuttle runs today and found myself getting ~9.2-9.3. My mom (who was spectating) pointed out to...

    A few various questions

    Hi all, I was talking to my guidance counselor today, and she supplied me with some info about USMMA that I'm sure everyone here already knows but that I have a question or two about. First off, I understand that USMMA is meant to train the Merchant Marine, so would it be wrong to apply...

    GPA on AROTC app?

    Sorry for making a new topic for such a quick (and probably obvious) question, but on the ROTC app it asks for my cumulative GPA on a 4.0 scale. Should I put my weighted or unweighted GPA in that slot? I realize they will be getting my transcript so it's probably not that big of a deal, but...

    Running Track at USCGA?

    Hi, I'm a Junior in high school and as I was filling out my AIM application, I noticed under where I put "Track and Field" it asked if I intended to participate in it at USCGA. I don't really know what to put because I would love to run it, but I don't necessarily expect to be at the...

    Headaches requiring prescription?

    NOTE: I'm only a Junior and thus have not started the DoDMERB process yet. This is merely a question to preempt/prepare for a possible DQ. I noticed that "recurrent headaches interfering with normal function or requiring prescription meds" is eligible for a DQ. About a month ago I had ~3...

    Applying from underrepresented states?

    Just a quick question, I'm fairly new to the whole process of the Coast Guard Academy. I'm a Junior in high school. Since the Academy doesn't require a congressional nomination, does the Academy pay attention to the states that the applicants are coming from? For example if you have 2...

    SMP at an SMC?

    Hello, I'm currently exploring my options for a path to commission in the Army. I've made a few posts on the ROTC side of things but I figured pertaining to SMC's I should post here. 1. It is my understanding that by attending and graduating from an SMC I am guaranteed active duty correct? 2...
