MAM,

The long and short of it is that the military doesn't want him taking ADHD medicine (considered a controlled substance) when he is under scholarship or serving his country. Not all ROTC candidates are extended a scholarship their freshman year, but I believe there must be a year long period from not taking the medication. We went through this with my younger son who is in ROTC. It is a major issue.

As an aside, your son has some academic options with a 30 ACT and a 3.63 (not sure if that is weighted or unweighted). If he has been medically diagnosed with ADHD that should not be an issue for college baseball without the ROTC.

I'm not clear if your son was considering ROTC AND college baseball. If so, I wish you well. Good luck!
