freshman

I'm currently a freshman in college and I'm considering joining either AROTC or AFROTC with a scholarship, but I'm wondering about the likelihood of getting in, things I should be aware of, as well as any differences between ROTC and service academies aside from the setting at typical colleges...

Daughter is in AFROTC in freshman year of college. Was in JROTC in HS. Has now been asked to do DODMERB. Any ideas why? Should she discuss this with instructors?

I am currently a freshman in college. I want to apply to West Point but I am not sure about the process as a college student. I understand that it is similar in that I will apply to be a first-year but how will I undergo the process of application to West Point? I am in my school's rotc...

Hello all, I am currently a freshman and re-applicant to USNA attending a 4 year university in California and I am enrolled in our school's NROTC program. I have molded my schedule around what a plebe at USNA might take, including Calculus, Chemistry (with lab), and an English Comp. class and...

I received a 3 year AD high school scholarship this last fall and started taking classes in the fall. After a few weeks of school I made the decision to drop out of the AROTC program at my school for personal reasons. Now that the second semester is starting I’m now regretting my decision to...

Hello, I'm a high school grad of 2016 planning on applying to the Air Force Academy for the class of 2021 and was curious how to improve my application. I'm aware that I can't just improve my chances in a matter of weeks, but I'm curious about ways to improve my application immediately and ways...

Hello, This is my first time posting on this forum so excuse me if I am negligent toward any particular nuance when creating new threads. I failed to get into WP class of 2020, or even receive my second step kit, due to my SAT score in math, and as an incoming freshmen to my local University I...

It's the future candidate again, and it's finally time to schedule classes for my freshman year. This might be a long post, but I'd enjoy some opinions. My school offers three diploma types, other than the Indiana General Degree, which is pretty low... 36 credits I think. I have decided to take...
