It is important to remember that AFROTC is different in many ways.
1. AFROTC does not super score.
~ It is best sitting. IE He has 1340 (670 on each section). Next time he scores 1300, but on the Math he scores 700. They are not going to say overall it 1370 (700 M from 2nd SAT and 670 V from 1st SAT). It will be the 1370 since that is his best sitting.
2. AFROTC will allow you to only update your SAT scores from your senior yr. for your academic record
~ Thus, it is no harm or foul situation.
The board will meet in Oct. You have a large leeway if he re-took it in Aug and sent electronically.
Now, for my opinion.
I would submit it for AFROTC, so you can get the ball rolling. Here is my thought process and it is tied to CoVid
1. SAT
~ Nobody knows if we will go into a 2nd lockdown, and maybe by Aug. they will cancel it. They could say due to social distancing, that they are now limiting the number of students that can take it, and by the time he signed up, they were full.
2. Transcripts
~ My DD is a school teacher and so is her husband in VA. My niece is a teacher in NJ. My DIL's sister and her husband are teachers in NC. The one thing they all have in common is their schools systems are finalizing what will look like in the fall when they come back.
~~ For my DD. They will be doing A and B days. A Mon and Thurs. B. Tues and Fri. Weds. is deep clean. Niece students will come back 50%, and classes will be 1/2 day. 50% in the a.m. and 50% in p.m.
Point being if you look at my DD and my niece. My DD's school will be totally closed on Weds. You need to send a transcript and that comes out of the GC. Imagine how many they have to send out for seniors. The back log can be long. My guess is that schools are totally shut right now, so that back log can be even longer.
~ We always got our kids "sealed" transcripts over the summer bc I called the school.
3. Interview
~ You have to get approved to move from applicant to candidate. From that point they will open it for your DS to schedule an interview at an AFROTC det. Again, we don't know what colleges will like for opening.
~~ Additionally, just like the rest of the US. The military is essential personnel. I do not know if HQAFROTC is back to full staff/full days, but, I am betting that the pile of submissions are piling up.
This brings back to why I would submit now. You want to get in the pile early, yet, again, for your DS everything in the future is an unknown. Will there be an Oct. board? Boards are held at Maxwell. Will colleges open up to do an in person interview, or will he do the interview via Zoom?
Finally, 1340 is a strong best sitting score. He is above the avg., but remember AFROTC looks at their course curriculum rigor and the gpa. They will re-weight to their standards. Your HS may use a 5.0 weight on a 7 pt scale (93 A), but that is not their stds. In yrs past, the academic record for AFROTC is 60% of the score.
