My son had the same experience as cugirl25. My son went in for his interview and was also offered the CLS on the spot.

It can vary - they took about 4 weeks to receive the notice that my son passed.

Another thing to consider is that colleges generally love ROTC scholarships because the government pays full rate.

While reviewing the options with my son last night, we came to the same conclusion (keeping in mind that the CLS is from an in-state state and it is his #3 choice). Based on this, we will probably decline the CLS since I believe (hope) that he will receive a type 2, which he can use at his #1...

Looks like they were having site hosting issues earlier today.

Thank you for the amazing responses! Very helpful. To make it more complicated, we don't even know if he will be accepted to his #1 or #2 choices. While I expect him to be accepted, we just don't know. I called his #1 today to see if they can be give any indication and all they said is that...

I'm hoping that someone can help as we're very confused. At my son's AFROTC interview last week, he was offered a CLS Type 1 scholarship. That is great news. The problem is that he needs to commit by this Wednesday but the school is not his first choice. He is not going to know whether he...
