<li>ROTC can be taken as a class, I believe scholarship apps for ROTC were due a while ago. spend some time with a good friend i like to call google. </li>
<li>see number 1.</li>
<li>You can pick any MOS you please, so long as you are fit to fulfill what is obligated by said MOS.</li>
<li>If they apply for the scholarship and qualify then yes, if not no.</li>
<li>google.com army pst minimum</li>
<li>you have to wear the uniform once a week, one or 2 PT sessions a week, and take the lecture sessions. not that hard.</li>
</ol>
<p>You can start to apply for Army ROTC at the beginning of senior year (I actually applied really early at the beginning of junior year because I was able to get an early interview in August). Army ROTC is a little different than applying to other ROTC's because first you apply through the army, then through individual school's ROTC's. So I filled out the online form, which is set up kind of like a college application, and started getting calls from the schools I was interested in. I applied to about 6 different schools with ROTC, so I had 6 different interviews. When I visited the schools, I met the profesor of military science and took a PT test. Then you get offered the scholarships, and decide which school you want to go to. If you are awarded a scholarship, your financial status is not taken into account at all. The physical fitness test is a 2 mile run, 2 minutes of sit ups, and 2 minutes of push ups. I am cross-registered for ROTC, so I have 2 days of on-campus PT and 1 day of PT at the unit and one day of class at the unit (I'm a freshman). We also do a few activities each semester like Field Training Exercises, Combat Water Survival Test, and Military Ball. You can really choose how involved you are with ROTC & how much time it takes by choosing to participate in extracurriculars or not.</p>
<p>so i guess I should start applying now then (im at the end of my junior year)....</p>
<p>seriously, start with google.</p>
<p>Also, it isn't as simple as just choosing whatever MOS you want... it is competitive.</p>
<p>Here, Army ROTC has PT Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings at 0620 for an hour. you go to a lab thing twice a week, in addition to a class that I think meets twice a week for 2 credits. It isn't "not that hard." It's a big time commitment but think of it as a 4 year long job interview for a basically guaranteed job.</p>
<p>Army ROTC isn't that difficult to get scholarships for, but to be sure, google that ***** and apply.</p>
