<p>My advice - don’t worry about the weight. they will tape her if necessary.</p>
<p>When she applies next summer - the application is online. Once she completes the online application and has her transcripts sent in Cadet Command will send in her name to DoDMERB to schedule her exam. The earlier she applies, the earlier she will have the exam. They will tell her where to go - if you need the provider changed then just call them but some providers require a parent if the student is under 18.
The application is actually open now so she can get started anytime.</p>
<p>For some cross town situations a car may be helpful but the kids I have known who have done it manage - they get rides and the officers really try and help out a lot.
Part of “fit” is environment - how would she feel being one of a very few cadets in her school? or would she rather be a part of a bigger group. Having a car might be a lot more convenient in the third and fourth years when more time is demanded of cadets and they get leadership positions.</p>
<p>The application - she applies online and it is reviewed by Cadet command HQ. She needs to put in a list of school and will have to schedule an interview with a professor of military science. Periodically through the year the boards meet and award scholarships. each battalion is awarded a certain number and they place you into a school. Getting accepted to that school is independent of receiving a scholarship.</p>
