Army ROTC 2023-2024 2nd Board

My DS was awarded 3 year at Citadel, VMI, and a state tech college. His ROO called him to congratulate him. He is currenlty waiting on AFROTC and NROTC and then USAFA and USCGA. Nerves are getting the best of him for sure. I tried to look for his scholarship letter on the ROTC website and can't figure out where it is. Anyone know?

It’s in the application, on the “File Upload” tab. For DD it was the bottom most document.
 
If you already have over 30 college credits and are awarded the 3 year, how does that work with having to start as a freshman?
 
Help me gauge my stats to see if I have a fighting chance of getting a scholarship at least three year I don’t expect a four year
sat score 1070
GPA 3.29
PMS interview 38/40
Counselor recommendation

Always a chance, but if you did not take at least 2 Honors or AP classes through Jr year, have no or limited leadership activities, and were below average on any part of your PFA (under 30 pushups or situps, 8+ minute mile), you will likely not be high enough on OML. However, many Brigades allow ROTC programs to "keep" scholarships turned down by students who later find out they're medically DQd or get into a service academy. The PMS can then award these scholarships (usually as conditional 3 year) to incoming students, which happened to 2 of my JROTC Cadets last year, and if you already met with the PMS and have demonstrated interest, you could be in the running. Otherwise, compete for one on campus; at that point sweat equity counts more than SAT score and many ROTC programs fill over half their contracts with on-campus scholarships.
 
My son was awarded a 3 year for University of Kentucky, Virginia Tech, Purdue... his number 1 pick was Vanderbilt and although he is waiting on acceptance from their regular admissions application can he transfer it to their if that's what he chooses? Also any chance since going for electrical or civil engineering he can get a 4 year scholarship bump up?

Yes he can request to transfer the scholarship to Vandy (my daughter is a sophomore there, not doing ROTC). if he gets in. I am not aware of any Army ROTC scholarship special consideration for anticipated engineering majors. Navy and AF care much more about those.
 
Is anyone having issues getting back onto the site? We got logged in last night to see winner and quick read of documents but can't get back on sin e then?

The Army is not overly interested in academic majors. I know guys with History degrees who are Engineer Colonels and guys with Electrical Engineering degrees who are Infantrymen.

The only time the Army seems to care is for Cyber officers.

You're moderately competitive for a 3-year and probably on the March board.

The worst stat you have there is honestly the PMS interview.

You do not mention: AP/Honors courses and College Credit Plus courses, leadership positions (section leader or 1st chair in band counts!), clubs, church groups...I would find ways to get good HS kids points. Anything extra-curricular, including part-time jobs gets you points in this game.

I took five AP classes

Also, on the winner letter it says to check out the physical fitness and high requirements in the additional information section but it just brings you to a page not found screen on goarmy.com. Does anyone have any idea where to find those elsewhere?
My DS has done CFA for SAs and he got qualified. During the SA's CFA, we also did 1 min record for ROTC and we uploaded it into ROTC portal as well as it was confirmed by WP CFA examiner. Should we do the physical fitness again?

If your son has already won a scholarship he doesn't need to do another fitness assessment to compete for a scholarship. He will take a fitness assessment at his assigned unit at the start of the fall semester and must pass to retain the scholarship (contract as a cadet). After that and throughout his years as a cadet he will be evaluated on the Army Combat Fitness Test. So, he should keep running, doing pushups, etc.
 
anyone else’s still say boarded/under consideration?
Yep. Wondering if this is the final decision or if the info is still being uploaded since it still says January 2024 board.

Boarded/Under Consideration:
This applicant was boarded by the October 2023 Selection Board and was not selected for an offer at this time. The applicant will remain eligible for the January 2024 board. Please continue working with your Army ROTC Cadre or contact your assigned processor or email us at usarmy.knox.usacc.mbx.train2lead@army.mil
