<p>No, you aren’t misinterpreting my statement. There is a disenrollment investigation process managed at Maxwell that determines if a cadet will be given another chance next year. There is a very small percentage of cadets that are given another chance.</p>
<p>Not familiar with AF, but I have not heard of such an exception for Army. I would imagine that it would also involve degrees that require significantly more than the normal 120 credit hours.</p>
<p>One thing I know - your cadre must sign off on your academic plan each term, so there won’t be many surprises unless the university has significant scheduling problems.</p>
<p>rleffler: Wow!!! It does sound like a bloodbath. Hopefully by next years FT the Air Force will have adjusted the number of incoming personnel to meet their needs and won’t have to cut 25% (800 of 2900) of their 2nd year cadets. I think we’ve already seen a serious reduction in HSSP scholarships.</p>
<p>BTW - It sounds as though at least some of those denied FT might be retained and considered again next year. Is your interpretation different?</p>
<p>agree with comments regarding Varsity sports/ROTC. Please speak with BOTH coaches and ROTC PMS before committing to both. Alot of schools are willing to work out schedules but should be notified upfront.</p>
<p>ROTC program that daughter is enrolling in does work around athletics and is very proud to have ROTC students ( one who went to Olympics) also competing on Varsity teams. In fact, the ROTC program is very enthusiastic about cadets trying out as “walk-ons” for the sports programs on campus. And promotes their students to the athletic departments.</p>
<p>Seems like a “win-win” for both elements. ROTC gets additional exposure on athletic fields of play and coaches get student-athletes who are able to maintain good grades, have additional oversight from ROTC, and great incentive($$$$$) to do well in school and remain academically eligible .</p>
<p>It can be a great situation if both parties are willing to cooperate and the ROTC student realizes the great importance of time management.</p>

<li>I am wondering why you would go to an out-of-state college with such a high out-of-state tuition. I don’t know what state you live in but I am sure there is a university in your state on par with ASU that is significantly more affordable. </li>
<li>I considered AFROTC but then a lot of things came into play:
- Participating in AFROTC could affect my college GPA and my future of attending graduate school. Many say that ROTC barely affects your academic performance, but think about this getting a 3.7 and getting into John Hopkins College of Medicine is quite a bit different from getting a 3.4 and going to Howard University College of Medicine. The amount of money you would make from attending the better school over your lifetime would significantly outweigh the $15,000 a year the average ROTC scholarship saves.</li>

<p>Does anyone with a NROTC kid think it is worthwhile if a kid gets a jump on college credits by taking any CC courses in summer after HS, assuming his college will allow credits?</p>
