A Day of Reckoning - Dec. 5 SAT Scores are In - A Sobering Reality

[VisionofConflux]

Let me tell you I understand this completely! My son was a 4.0 student all through high school. He managed a 1260 on the SAT which is LOW by Rotc standards, non the less he got into the school of his choice and obtained an AFROTC scholarship last yr. Some kids are just not great test takers. My son also applied to all the service acadamies and was turned down from all of them He had great leadership as well. Has he been denied for an ROTC scholarship yet? Or was his score below the requirement?

I'm in that pool right now for AROTC. I'm an unfortunate soul who isn't a good test-taker, but I'm testing my luck on the third board, as I didn't receive a scholarship at the most recent on, and continuing to improve and take on leadership positions(to add to the resume, but leading is fun even when it doesn't work the best; just means there's room for improvement) Only thing that makes things weird about the process is the fact that I'm a HS student who is going to graduate with a Diploma and college degree so I am kinda in limbo as to where I could place myself or how that would work out when I enroll in ROTC this coming Fall.
