Now that "supposedly" two scheduled NROTC scholarship boards have met and had a couple of weeks to release their results, lets get a roll call of all those that have received NROTC scholarships for the Fall of 2011. Anyone?
NROTC just showed up on my daughter's DoDMERB page--"in process".
I am an applicant to for NROTC and my page says
Agency: US Navy ROTC
Current Medical Status: Qualified Unrestricted Line (as of 06-OCT-10 )
Do not know what this means, but the status page after signing into the online application has changed. Instead of saying that the application is at the NETC, it says:
- You have an application awaiting selection decision.
- You cannot apply for the current application year until a selection decision has been made.
- You can check the status of your application at https://www.nrotc.navy.mil/status_scholarship.aspx
The problem is, the link to Check Status of Current NROTC Application https://www.nrotc.navy.mil/status_scholarship.aspx only shows 2009 and 2010 scholarship status, but no option to check on 2011 application status.
As we have no applications into any other service academy or AROTC or AFROTC, we don't have a DODMERB page on which to check status.
I can't tell you what my son's first choice is because I haven't asked him during the last 3 hours (he is at a football game). Seriously, he has completed/submitted his applications to USMA, USNA, USAFA, AFROTC, NROTC and AROTC and four noms. It seems as though he is leaning towards the USAFA and USMA, but that may be because they seem to be more interested in him than the USNA. Yes - he does have a LOA for West Point. During the next month he has candidate visits to both WP and the USAFA and hopefully those visits will help him solidify a choice. At this point the ROTC applications are his Plan B if he either doesn't get an appointment/nom to whichever SA he finally chooses, or if he decides to go the civilian college route and pursues a more "typical" college experience.aglages - what is your son's first choice? Thought I saw you on the WP LOA thread? Is he also considering USNA? Or just NROTC?
Perhaps. Interesting that they "chose" to work on it during the weekend.I checked my status and I'm also getting the same response as the rest of you- maybe this means that something is coming along soon?
Not sure if this is a bad sign but I checked my son's Dodmerb page again and it still doesn't even show the NROTC at all. He's been qualified for USAFA and USNA since early July but nothing for NROTC even yet - not even an "in process".
Did you manage to get your son's actual application corrected? Who did you contact? My son's SAT scores were added up incorrectly by the local office (100 points less than actual). When I opened his application it is still incorrect but the NROTC person I've written to said it is correct in "the system". Needless to say I have some concerns about the reliability of "the system" and the "don't worry be happy" approach.This isn't the only system problem we've encountered with the NROTC website.

This isn't the only system problem we've encountered with the NROTC website. A couple of weeks ago, I opened up the actual application again. My son's updated SAT scores were posted but all of his college choices were wrong and his major had changed from Mechanical Engineering to majoring in Turkish. Got it squared away after a couple of emails. I agree that it doesn't inspire a lot of confidence in the process.
I tried almost the exact same email after getting the don't worry be happy response. Never heard back and it never changed. I suppose it is a hit or miss proposition with the NROTC. Did you get a response from a specific person after you sent your original email to the general email address? It would certainly be helpful to specifically identify someone competent within the system...if possible.The local coordinator gave us the email address that Ms. Parker subsequently posted. I emailed them a screen shot of the page from his May application and a shot of what the application looked like at the time. They responded pretty quickly and it was changed immediately. I didn't even know you could major in Turkish!
First question: How did you open the application again? Can't seem to be able to see the actual app and after reading these posts, would like to make sure my daughter's info is correct.

Question #2 is related to question #1: Unfortunately you need to be able to access the link that is currently not working. Normally once you sign in with your SSN and DOB you will get a screen with the current status of your scholarship application. As I recall there is a link there that you can open your original application. So.....once the NROTC fixes one problem you can check to see if you have another problem.First question: How did you open the application again? Can't seem to be able to see the actual app and after reading these posts, would like to make sure my daughter's info is correct.
Second question: Does anyone have a link for the 2011 application status? We are getting the same messages as others have posted recently which eventually ends us up at the 2009/10 status page with no info.
