Clarkson,
Thank God for you and your blog. I learned more about the CBEF in your blog than I have ever could imagined.
Most enlightening were these two things:
~Civilian Background Experience Form – a 92 question form designed to determine a high school applicant’s aptitude to complete ROTC and commission as an officer.
Having done forms like this for employment, I am going to guess some of the 92 questions are asked/posed differently to see if the applicant answers the same regardless.
~Board Whole Person Score – 1400 total points possible. The CBEF counts for 250 points or 17.8% of the WPS.
That is a huge amount, and candidates need to understand this is not a fill in a bubble form or whatever, it can mean the difference between getting a Congrats letter or an At this Time letter.
Just curious, but how will the PAR, PFA and rec work in regarding points. I have read that AROTC was going to follow AF/NROTC regarding STEM, is that true and will it also be a factor? Or is major a non-player.
