Good Evening,
I am transferring from AFROTC into AROTC and will likely attend Basic Camp this summer. I am a 3.00 GPA and my PT scores are not good at all, my all time best was 200 (I know it is very bad but I’ve only been training for Army PT test since I found out I am moving, which was last week).
No excuses, I will do my best, but I highly doubt I will do any better than 200 by the time my records are sent for scholarship board. I know people who have scholarships with a 2.6 GPA - but again, their PT scores are up in the sky.
My GPA is fair, PT is just passing. I am trying to go for the two year scholarship. Will it be likely?
Thank you all so much!

As CPT Alegado stated above, first find out if the program even has a scholarship to offer.
As far as having two years of college left, I finished my sophomore year of college enlisted in the reserves and had to take a semester off for training. Once I got back from training I went to my first drill weekend and my leadership put me in contact with a cadet from my university and it is all history from there.
Point being, if you want something bad enough, you will make the necessary sacrifice to complete the mission. I didn’t want to graduate a year after my peers in college, but it was worth it to get where I am at now. Look into the SMP option.

No problem, I did have to add an extra semester to complete all my remaining classes and ROTC classes. Good luck and drive hard!

Physical Fitness for Army Officers is VERY IMPORTANT... this can not be stressed enough! How can you lead troops "from the front" if you're not out in front? You might be better off staying in AFROTC if your physical fitness is lacking.
Regarding your desire for a scholarship... 3.0 GPA and low PT scores will probably make it difficult (also depends on your major, an Engineering 3.0 is not quite the same as a History 3.0). This would be a good topic to bring up with the Army ROTC cadre at your school... perhaps your language skills might be of interest for the scholarship??

For my unit, you’re garunteed a 3 year scholarship if you have a 270 pt score and a 3.5 gpa, and considered for a scholarship if it’s 250 pt score and 3.0 gpa. Get that pt score up, sprint workouts and 100 push-ups and sit-ups a night will help. as for GPA, make all the time you can to study and get things done, and prioritize your time towards being an A student.
