Judging from what GWU PNS said, the odds sound pretty decent as well.If you have not gotten a TWE and portal show "no decision", then you are a alternate right now. We still have a shot.

I agree, but I'm still keeping my hopes low or manageable. DS has already sent in his CP information for his unit, so we are treating this scholarship as "icing on the cake". A sideload scholarship next year will be our new plan B.Judging from what GWU PNS said, the odds sound pretty decent as well.
Are the replacements being managed by NSTC, since alternates have been scored in prior boards? Will replacements require another round of board/admiral approval? Thank you.There is a board next week and things should wrap up fairly rapidly after that. And just to clarify, that number of 150 is based on an approximation of how many people might be offered an appointment to a service academy and then choose the academy over NROTC. And then we need to check which tier major they are. For example, if 100 people opt to select USNA and decline NROTC, and every one of those 100 are tier 1 or 2, then they need to be replaced by tier 1 or 2. We cannot exceed 15% tier 3 by statute. Just trying to manage expectations.
I believe so yes. I don't think it is a list of alternates that they just go down. They have to consider tier level and I'm sure some other factors from the alternates left for the scholarships they have available right now.Are the replacements being managed by NSTC, since alternates have been scored in prior boards?

Curious how you set up CP in case you don’t get selected ?I agree, but I'm still keeping my hopes low or manageable. DS has already sent in his CP information for his unit, so we are treating this scholarship as "icing on the cake". A sideload scholarship next year will be our new plan B.
Your college will have all the required forms they need to enter the NROTC Det at your college. Do the CP in parralel as we all wait the next 10 days. Some medical forms are dif and could take a few days if u need a physicalCurious how you set up CP in case you don’t get selected ?
I didn’t know CPS could go to NSI? I thought it was only for kids who have scholarships.My son seems to be an alternate but he also applied to Ole Miss NROTC CP. Yes you should still apply for CP at his college. Son just got 3rd cycle at NSI. I think the chart says it is actually 30 June to get your pw in to get last cycle. If son gets scholarship then that is great. Do your plan B now while waiting
DS contacted school and got an application. Some units do applications and some do notCurious how you set up CP in case you don’t get selected ?
CP can go. The LT said this year or summer after freshman year but better to go nowI didn’t know CPS could go to NSI? I thought it was only for kids who have scholarships.
His best bet is to reach out to the unit directly. They deal with this all the time and are best to advise him. Not familiar with VT but A&M anyone in ROTC is automatically in the Corp. If a CP, may have to actually apply for entry into the ROTC program (A&M ROTC is that way). Even as a scholarship candidate, may still have to actually apply to the program. So call the Unit.As we sit in the waiting pile, can anyone familiar with VTCC explain to me like I’m 5, because this part is all new to us, does Tech not have a CP status because the Corps supersedes that? You join the military track if your intention is to commission and/or apply for 3yr scholarship? That’s what my son is telling me and I’m trying to get onboard with what’s coming down the track. Also is anyone familiar with the CNRE (college) at Tech? I’m worried about how he’ll pick freshman classes that meet their requirements and also the standard plebe like math, physics etc ones that would help a scholarship application. This is obviously his deal but I just feel clueless.
You have to go to NSI before the scholarship kicks in. Most Cpers at NSI are rising sophmores who got a 3 year scholarship awarded. Some units are able to send incoming freshman CPers to NSI. From what I've gleaned on SAF, it seems to depend on space at NSI and if unit wants/can spend funds to get these freshman CPers to NSI. Really a case by case basis.I didn’t know CPS could go to NSI?

Does the CP process also includes DoDMERB? Thank you.You have to go to NSI before the scholarship kicks in. Most Cpers at NSI are rising sophmores who got a 3 year scholarship awarded.

My DS sent his CP application in early hoping that will increase the chance of going to NSI as a CP. Can't hurt to try.
I would call the Det at your college. DS received an email with the NSI date this July from his college. Then you would know your college det policy.You have to go to NSI before the scholarship kicks in. Most Cpers at NSI are rising sophmores who got a 3 year scholarship awarded.

He received a call from his unit a few days after sending it to ask him some questions and to confirm they have it. He was planning on reaching out at end of month if he didn't hear anything.I would call the Det at your college. DS received an email with the NSI date this July from his college.
