Hello,
My DS received a TWE and is 3qd. He is a recipient of a 4 year AROTC scholarship. DS wants to serve but also wants the education offered from USMA. Since he has lower than average ACT and SAT scores, DS ihsd mentioned self-prepping at MMI after reading about the program offered there.
The concern is academically, if he doesn’t have the best of grades at his 4 year college, will USMA consider his reapplication. The program is rigorous at MMI but will be preparing him for a service academy vs going straight to a 4 year college and reapplying.
It has been DS understanding that because he was 3qd, that USMAPS is not a possibility not has he been waitlisted.
Does anyone have any thoughts on self prep and relinquishing the AROTC scholarship.
We are in unfamiliar territory with all of this and would like to offer some guidance to him for an informed decision.
My apologies for the long post and if this is not appropriate.
