<p>Thanks for the replies!</p>
<p>The link from RaptorDad was particularly useful. Lots of stuff to read there.</p>
<p>I’m still a bit worried about the weight issue, as in the application, there is an additional column for ROTC which for females has lower weights - about 9 lbs for her height (higher for males, though). Additionally its says
It does not say that they will do a body fat content test. </p>
<p>There may be a few cross town situations that may work out without the use of a vehicle. I’ve got to look at them carefully. One that comes to mind is UMass Boston that operates out of BU. Public transportation may work there. If you are suggesting 5 or 6 school, I guess I had better get looking at maps.</p>
<p>I’m not sure if she would go for ACHA hockey, as there is a big drop off in talent there from D3, much more than in men’s hockey as there just isn’t the numbers womens hockey.</p>
<p>As to Norwich, I don’t think the Military School is an issue. When she was looking at boarding schools 3 years ago, Culver (while not military on the girls side) was high on her list, except there was a crowd in net one year ahead of her. In many ways, I think being a part of the larger culture may be a benefit as well to her.</p>
<p>I noticed the suggestion that the application process should be started in the summer. Probably a good idea considering the college apps that will be necessary in addition to the ROTC application. All the more reason to find schools sooner.</p>
<p>Now about timing. Let’s say she finishes the application in early summer. When can they call her in for interview and DODMERB? I ask because she will be at a boarding school 1000+ from home from September on and logistics may become an issue. Is there an advantage of doing the interview at one of the schools on the list, or does it matter?</p>
<p>And while asking questions about the selection process, I’ve seen things about where your application is processed. Can somebody explain?</p>
