Chances for second AROTC board?

The order wasn't messed up, they had listed the wrong college. It was crazy I'm sooo glad I checked. I asked for University of Mississippi and they gave me University of Minnesota, so I guess the two were kind of close so I can see how they might mess that up. I e-mailed them again explaining what happened and it was changed that day, so at least they are fast at updating!

Mississippi vs Minnesota are "kind of close?" :biggrin:

Today it was -10 degrees in Minneapolis and somewhere in the 70's in Mississippi.

Mixing those two up would be a shocker for someone! :yllol:
 
Just a quick update regarding the changing of schools on the AROTC application. DD went into her AROTC portal to reprioritize her schools and she got a message indicating "The status of your application will not allow you to change your schools." I guess it could be either that they are "locked-in" preparing for the 2nd board or they may have been locked after her file was reviewed and scored at the 1st board. Anybody else whose file was complete for the first board seeing this same thing or are you still able to update your schools?
 
Yes, I talked with Cadet Command about 2-3 weeks ago and was told that CC would be locking out changes to school selection changes/priorities if the applicant was boarded or about to be boarded. I gather they ran into some issues with applicants updating school selection just before/during the last board. I think my D was part of that group as she made changes a few days before the last board. But CC also told me you can still make changes if you e-mail them with the request. They will let you know if the change is possible - if there is enough time before the next board convenes.

I also noticed that AROTC applicant web page where the school selections are changed also now has a tab "Selection Status" - ie. interviewee, board ready, boarded, winner, etc. This may have already been there for winners, but this is the first time I have seen it.

The status section is new, too. Thanks for pointing that out. Finally, there is confirmation that she had in fact been boarded already.

DS also changed his school selections about a week ago and after reading this post he checked and saw the same quote. He now shows up as "boarded" also. Thanks for catching the new status tab.
