DS got the call from VMI today -- he'll be a Rat in the fall! Prayers answered!

DS got the call from VMI today -- he'll be a Rat in the fall! Prayers answered!

Information we received from Pensacola (dated 20 April) noted the wait list for Texas A & M (Navy option) as closed. Sorry, we feel your pain. We also received a list of open units, dated 26 April, also affirmed that A & M's transfer wait list is closed. Sorry, again. And no, according to the...

Galaxy, sadly the pm was empty. It must have been a misfire. I believe she is suggesting that one can use their scholarship but you may have to be open to considering a school that was not in your original top 5 picks. Pensacola will soon email a list of open units and then you can decide if...

P-Flying 17: Thanks for the post concerning my DS's situation (awarded NROTC scholarship but can't transfer to it to VT and waiting on wait list offer for admissions to VMI) You mention a possibility of applications to unit's with availability -- (I'm sorry my ignorance is going to show)...

My DS was awarded a NROTC 4-yr scholarship assigned to VMI (his #2 choice on scholarship package). We was wait listed at VMI (his application was rather tardy but his application package is very competitive. DS was accepted at VT (#1 choice on scholarship package) but DS can't transfer...

yep, hoping the PNS at VMI has some luck, but VMI admissions called this morning to discuss the situation and sadly, I didn't get a warm-and-fuzzy feeling from the conversation. I'm hoping the admission counselor was just giving me a hard time (b/c that is his right as my son did make some...

Update: Received official notification from Pensacola today that VT's wait list is closed. DS is not on the wait list. Hoping VMI will extend an offer for admissions, but it is a long shot. So hate that this NROTC scholarship might not be viable -- so many quality candidates and feel...

Congratulations! My DS didn't get the ELS which was a surprise since he accepted his VT admissions offer promptly so we had hoped he would be in the first 100 cadets to accept and therefore be eligible for the ELS. I wish we would at least get confirmation if the transfer request got on the...

My son is highly motivated to attend VT, as VMI was a fall back option if he didn't get accepted at VT. The irony -- acceptance to VT and wait listed at VMI! All of his buddies from his NJROTC unit are attending VT, and this highly motivated, impressive band of brothers are eager to continue...

PNS? I'm not familiar with this acronym... ugh, so much to learn! The issue is that my son's desire is to attend VT, not VMI. VT was his first choice on the scholarship application... even if VMI offers him acceptance, his heart is set on VT. I just hate the thought that he won't be...

We spoke to VT's detachment and they referred us to Pensacola saying that didn't have any information regarding the wait list. DS was not accepted to VMI so it is not an option at this point (application placed on wait list but advised very few wait list applicants get accepted). DS was...

Let me clarify -- we don't have papers in hand yet regarding the scholarship. We learned of the scholarship award via his online status. We've received no response nor acknowledgement about his request for college change (requesting a change from VMI to his #1 choice of VT). He did not get...

Confirmed via on line status update... I checked it after we received a separate mailing in yesterday's post advising my son regarding medical appointments and such. We have not received the official notification via mail yet. I am clueless to all this stuff and I am hopeful that he'll be able...

We just found out today that the son got a 4yr Navy ROTC scholarship to VMI (his second choice college). He was accepted to his first choice school, VT, and was wait listed at VMI. VMI suggested the son make alternate plans for college b/c their wait list is long. We just submitted the...
